I never write about negative issues, nor do I keep up with everything going on in the media, but when certain stories spark personal thoughts and questions, I feel it's only appropriate to give my opinion.
The recent filing of divorce by Kelis Jones from soon to be ex-husband and baby father, Nas, caught me a little by surprise.
Since I don't come from a family or community of married folks, I get my inspiration from those in the church, my immediate surroundings and sometimes those in the media. So when couples unite in a wedding bliss, I am happy for them because I know God didn't make man to live alone. But when they split up, I am left pondering, “What’s the point?” Yeah, I know we are not suppose to base our lives on what we see others do, but when you have never traveled certain roads it’s wise to look at the examples of others to guide you.
I guess my question is, "What does it take for a marriage to last?" I am a hopeless romantic who truly believes that covenants made between two people are not meant to be broken under any circumstance. I view love as being "unconditional". Under no conditions will I stop loving.
Maybe I am too traditional and a little ignorant to what it really takes to make a marriage work, but as I get older and wiser, I am beginning to understand much more than I did in my 20's. At this point in my life, I am more open to the prospects of spending by life with that special lady, but will marriage ruin our connection or draw us closer?
What are your thoughts on the subject of marriage and divorce?
