Came across news of Russell Crowe refusing to divorce his
wife of 12 years.
I find this news unusual. Mostly, because when was the
last time you heard something like this.
It looks like Russell really cares for his wife and would
really like to give another try to his marriage. I find it very inspiring coz
you never get to hear news like this especially in the western societies.
The concept of marriage in a western society is very
different than ours. For them it’s okay to date that starts right from the
school which might cause some serious heartburn for girl’s dad over here.
Dating is okay over there and that’s how you end up
finding partner for life.
It also does raise a lot of questions.
Like if you are dating from your school days and yes that
also involves sex too, would you give all that up for that special woman/man
when you can have all the fun and sleep around with anyone you want?
If you are married to the person you love, does it stops
your urges of your physical needs or checking out the opposite sex to only wish
and act on it after years passes by…
Let’s be honest, marriage asks for commitment when one
forgets why they married when years passed by. Unless you can keep the love
alive.
I wonder how it works out to stay loyal, committed in
their marriages. Otherwise it’s pretty easy to stray outside marriage when lust
lingers around you.
Divorce does no good to anyone including the children who
carry the scar for the rest of their lives.
There are so many couples who give up too easily when it
could have been worked out. Lives are then spent on what if?
It’s nice to see someone trying to work things out.
In the end, even if it doesn't, at least you know that you
gave your 100% when you had the chance…
