Tigers Woods and Al Gore both taking the Nestea Plunge, Divorce( The ultimate relationship failure)

Commentary:

How does America now see Divorce? Is it some dreadful thing that will most probably happen to 50% of all newly married couples or is it in someways preventable?

In my opinion, many people are marrying for the wrong reason. If the initial impetus for marriage is “True Love,” then the relationship will stand the test of times. It seems as if the monster, divorce, is so common that many people are afraid to marry. In Tiger’s case, he has deep seated issues. He is not sure of his color or ethnicity in my opinion. He confessed openly concerning an addiction, but what about your depression brother. That has been swept under the rug totally.

Now Al and Tipper say that there is no affair. Well maybe Al’s affair with Mother Earth is an issue. I am not buying the “we just grew apart” scenario. There is more to this puzzle and the speculations are now flying-high. Of course, we will review each partners sexuality in detail, later because there are vulnerabilities in all of us.  This certainly will be explored by the media. However, is it possible to grow apart after 40 years. In my opinion, after 40 years the character has grown on you therefore it would take “clear and convincing evidence” to part ways.

So faithful readers, lets not put faith in America’s Most Visible Marriages. Let’s go back and focus on old fashioned family values and this will hopefully stregthen the marriages of tommorrow.

    I agree. Then main problem with marriage is we’re doing it for the wrong reason. Tax write off, political reasons, media reasons, family expect it and on and on. Relationships and marriage in my eyes are becoming a joke. It has come to a collective understanding that once you get married you can still live the single life just with different rules. Now you can’t take the girl home, kick it at her crib. You can’t go out on dates just meet at the bed. Saturday night is play time but Sunday morning is family time. Like I said, It’s all a joke.

    What would you consider old fashioned family values?

    • admin

      Those things that keep the family together. Take your pick!

    @c.alexander that’s a good question and I see where you’re going with it. Yes cheating has always been an issue in marriages for years. Outside kids, second families, mistresses, DL side boyfriends etc. It has always been a joke but now it’s a public joke. Good values to have; MARRY FOR LOVE AND NOTHING ELSE! Everything else will fall in place. Make sure they love you the way you love them. Unfortunately I have no proof that this will work as I’ve never seen a successful relationship in all my years on this earth (except President Obama and First lady Michelle but I don’t know them personally) but I stand firm that this will be the ONLY way I will commit my life to anyone.

      Are you speaking from experience?

    @admin More so from observation. ‘You can’t make all the mistakes yourself. Learn from others’. I’ve seen several families with these issues and they seem to go on with life like this behavior is normal and it’s the way it’s supposed to be. Me, I steer clear of anything that would send me down the path they went because I am absolutely sure this is not where I want to be.

    Family Values, I think, would still save the day!
