did you hear?

she filed for divorce today.

it's only been 72 days. less than 3 months, people. are you kidding me? and it's estimated that their wedding cost 10 million dollars. that's a little less than $140,000 per day. wow, not worth it, amiright?

what has happened to the sanctity of marriage in this country?

i think so many people today get married with the thought, "if it doesn't work out we'll just get a divorce." so they go into marriage before the really should, not sure and not ready.

T and i have been together a long time. i'm talking almost 7 years. we're getting married in less than 11 months. there is no option for divorce. we're in it for better and for worse. when you make a decision to get married you make a decision to spend the rest of your life with that person. not a few months, or years.

now, i understand things happen. people change. and life happens. and if you try your hardest to make it work and things still fall apart then people go their separate ways. i get that. affairs, death, hard times, financial issues, illegal activity. it all happens, all the time. i wish it didn't but you can't control everything in life.

but for a celebrity that's all over t.v., radio, the internet, etc. to get married in such a lavish way and get divorced 72 days later? it's disgusting. what an example for all the young girls/women watching her. i just can't wait to have kids so they can see all this crap, yeah right!

i hope people remember that marriage isn't always easy. it takes work, hard work some days but it's wonderful and worth working for everyday with your best friend beside you. that's what we're going into this marriage thinking, anyway.

i like the way Matthew said it...

"Haven't you read," he replied, "that at the beginning the Creator 'made them male and female,' and said, 'For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh' ? So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate." Matthew 19:4-6
