Fed Up
Today I read that Brittney Spears and K-fed, Hollywood’s sweethearts, were getting a divorce. I’m not really surprised. Well, ok, I’m a bit surprised that it took this long for it to happen. I’m not suprised that it happened though. There’s only a few rare Hollywood marriages that have lasted.
Divorces make me sad. I look at marriage as a committment you make to one person in your lifetime, and something that you shouldn’t do unless you’re positive that it will be a “forever” sort of thing. When you get married, you promise before God to love one another throughout your life.
But there are some interesting arguments that divorce isn’t all bad, either. The Bible surely frowns upon it, but you also have to stop and think–back when Christianity first began, people lived much shorter lives in most cases. Is it possible that we simply are not programmed by God to love the same person for 60+ years? That’s not neccessarily my opinion, but it’s one of the arguments out there.
And I’m not sure about the answer to that question anyway. I don’t look down on people who get divorces, but there’s something about it that just makes me queasy when I think about it. I wonder what God thinks about it. I’ll put it on my long list of questions to ask when I get to heaven.
For now, I’m simply going to date until I’m sure that the person I’m dating is the one I want to be with until I die. I hope you all do the same.
