A Single View Point on Marriage

Ok so Kim K. is getting divorced, is anyone really surprised? I dont think we are shocked because it ended..we are shocked because it ended so fast. I already know that this is going to be talked about for awhile which will be an orgasmic feeling for a media whore such as herself and the rest of her family. Her mother is on TV talking about the divorce and of course "promoting" her new book at the same time. Anyone who knows anything about writing you just don't wake up one day and have a book out the next. You have deadlines you have to meet, it just seems suspect to me that all these ventures, new book for mom, their new clothing line all around this divorce. But maybe Kim was really in love and thought this is what she wanted. Who am I to judge? I know people who change their minds after the wedding. They are not usually sure before hand and it is just brushed off as cold feet. This incident shows how much or how less we value marriage in this country. You can get married and divorced all in the same day. I personally respect the institution of marriage (btwn a man & woman) and believe that it should last until death do them part. It is no wonder marriages fail, the consequences to failing are not that severe or non-existent. Being divorce is almost common now where over 60 years ago it was a shame to be divorced and you did what was ever necessary to save it. Today people seem to be committed to one another as long as everything is good and they get what they want. But, if your married shouldn't it stop being about "you" and be about "us"? Not all marriages fail but the ones that I know have been successful the people are not selfish they make their mate number one and are giving, compassionate, understanding and compromising. A lot of things this "self" ish society does not promote. If Kim's wedding was real than I feel sorry for her, she like most people got caught up in the moment and is more in love with being in love than the actual person. What do you think?
