Sad Day But Hopeful

A few days ago I was really sad because I found out that the best celebrity couple, Amy Poehler and Will Arnett, got divorced last September! I decided to do some research to find their reasoning. I found out that they got divorced because they felt more like best friends then a married couple. How lame is that??? Wouldn't that be perfect to marry your best friend? And why in the world would you want to date again especially as a celebrity? And they have two kids. It's just so sad that they didn't cherish what they had and that they broke up for the same reason I'm getting married.

I do not believe in divorce unless there is abuse of any kind going on in the marriage. Divorce is sad!! Why would you just give up after years of trying? And especially if you have children! No one thinks of the children but the children think of everybody. To a child it's like their two favorite people hate each other and often times the children think that they are the cause of the split, causing more psychological problems for the child.Divorce is understandable, but still ridiculous that our country has around a 50% divorce rate. And 75% of those divorced couples go on to get married again. I think it is interesting that we are all seeking the acceptance that marriage brings but we are killing it at the same time. We kill marriage by being selfish and not willing to help our marriages grow, people cohabit (which I could go on and on about and most likely will later), people put off getting married until "they are ready", and honestly, the list goes on and on. We NEED to protect marriage, especially our own. We need to remember that the grass is the same on both sides of the fence we just need to put out the effort to make our side greenier.
On that note. I hope you all have a wonderful week and "try a little harder to be a little better."~Gordon B. Hinckley
