Charlie Sheen's Christmas in jail has inspired the actor and his wife, Brooke Mueller, to seek counselling despite the fact that Sheen reportedly pulled a knife during their latest fight.
The couple plan to get professional help after engaging in a heated argument during which Sheen allegedly threatened Mueller with a knife.
When police arrived on the scene, they allegedly saw marks on Mueller's body, though it has not been confirmed if they are related to the weapon, TMZ reported.
"They were fighting at a dinner in a friend's house and it continued until the next morning," said a source close to Mueller.
"Both of them were drinking and neither was supposed to be. They both have histories of alcohol abuse and have made every effort to stop. But things got out of hand."
It was previously reported that Mueller (32) went off the rails when Sheen (44) confronted her about her excessive partying.
Mueller proceeded to call 911 and reportedly told police her husband had choked her. She later recanted.
Sheen was sent to jail in Aspen, Colorado, on Friday on domestic violence charges and another charge involving "a deadly weapon".u00a0
He was released that night after posting $8,500 (Rs 4 lakh) bond and will appear in court on February 8.
