They have been married for nearly three decades and have starred in a reality show together since March of 2006.

But Matt and Amy Roloff have decided to let the cameras roll through a difficult time in their lives.

In a clip posted on TLC on Thursday, the stars of Little People, Big World talk about their trial separation.

Both estranged spouses Matt and Amy discussed the reasons behind their split.

Matt said: 'Amy and I are separated. Last year, it was long and tough.

'Amy and I had a lot of tensions, so right around Thanksgiving, I thought I would move over to the [guest] house for a little bit and we'll try that.'

Rough patch: Flashback clips of the couple arguing about clutter were included in the sneak peek

Family meal: Amy prepared breakfast for her four children at home in the clip

Flashback clips of the two fighting over clutter in their home were shown in the video and Matt said: 'I never felt quite at home in my own home. Something needed to change so we needed to try something different.'

'I mean you could call it a separation if you want, a trial separation, but its more of just giving each other some space,' Matt added.

As Matt is shown alone living in the guest house in the clip, Amy has a full-house as she prepares a holiday meal for her children in the main house shown on the reality programme.

She said: 'I think what Matt and I failed to do over many, many years was learn to live together.

'It's not my choice for him to leave. I am saddened by it. It's been 26 years. We don't have a plan for how we're going to work this out, so it's not going to be easy.'

The estranged couple have been married since September 1987 and share four children together: twin sons Jeremy and Zach, 23, daughter Molly, 20, and son Jacob, 17.

The special hour-long episode documenting the split will air March 25 on TLC.

Matt is a highly creative person, but he is never happy. He blames too much of it outside. I think he's a like able guy, but nothing is ever good enough for him. He projects it outward, but it's all coming from the inside. Until he starts remodeling his own perspective none of his projects or loved ones will make him happy.

she has turned that gorgeous house he helped build into trash. Looks dirty and so cluttered. No one can find peace and comfort in a cluttered messy house - I dont blame him for moving out. Its your duty as a mother to maintain a clean home.

One thing he's right about, the clutter in their house, in every episode all you could see was a mess in the house, complete mess! And what is a "trial separation"?? Is there such a thing???

Stop with the media. A public announcement of "separation" does not mean you and Amy still live practically in the same house and work together every day.

Just another reality show gimmick like Bruce and Kris Jenner. These guys have been pushing this separation gimmick for years. No news unless a legal divorce takes place. Get a "real" life.
