Hang In There

Devastation does not even begin to describe it. I am sad that Will Smith and Jada Pinkett have separated. Or so the news reports say. If what the reports are saying is true then that is just sad. They were the look up to couple. I mean they are the people you look up to and say well there is hope in Marriage. However the same reports say that they have denied being separated so let that be true.

We use to look up to Will Smith in Fresh Prince of Belair. I used to oogle and droole at him when he used to act in Fresh Prince.


Then he got Married and we were all green with envy and I used to say to myself hmmmh if I was there maybe it would have been me. (Oh how I wish)



He started producing these movies one great one after another one. My favorite was wild wild west.


So now what could be the matter? reports from online entertainment magazines claim that the couple is not divorced. My point for this post actually is just to let them and everyone out there who is married to HANG IN THERE. Off course not everyday will be sunny and like New Edition say it in their track 'Can you stand the rain?'Can you really stand the those tough times with your spouse?

When you do decide to get married don't do it out of emotions.Emotions have a way of misleading people when making important decisions. Think about it this way; what will happen when the goose bumps are gone?

Think about it critically. The reasons people get married these days are scary hence the high number of divorce cases around....because the guy is good looking (its one of the traits) but should not be a major reason why you get married. Money is the major factor. So now what happens if your spouse gets laid off work? or God forbid they can no longer work because of sickness etc?? Will that now become a reason to divorce your spouse? Remember those very important words 'For better, for worse till death do us part?'

I'm still positive and will continue to be positive about marriage, because its a beautiful thing, a beautiful place to be at. I love being married to my husband even if we've just done it for two years and we can be called toddlers at this game, I enjoy being married to him because more than a husband, we've been through the thickest patches and the sunny days and there's more to come in the future that I cant wait to share with him. He is more than just a husband,he is my friend, lover and companion.

On that note i would like to end by saying 'HANG IN THERE' Marriage can and will always work if you choose to make it to work,there's a lot of hard work involved in making a marriage work.

Shaz: My favourite blogger.

I like your post! :):) :)

For me, I am single and in no position to speak authoritatively about marriage.

But i do have a few thoughts of my own and will share my 2 cents willingly.

Will and Jada-most successful Hollywood Couple/Marriage! If the rumours are true, it will be very sad indeed!!! Extremely!

Yes, loads of people look up to them, and many coiples' confidence will be affected, but the way life works is that you cannot afford to place too much expectation on people. You will get disappointed. Minimize the risks by acknowledging that shit happens and anyones' fan can be hit. In life we need to learn to walk our own path, and not be discouraged by others' failures but remember that the only constant thing in this world is CHANGE.
Hanging in there for me, even in relationships means that realizing and acknowledging that the imperfections of your spouse should be the connecting bridge between your two souls.

I think relationships are the toughest jobs in the world. Sometimes hair pulling, heart wrenching, teeth knacking, silence growing but also sunniest the voyages,

Sometimes it is the person closest to us who must travel the furthest distance to be our friend. ~Robert Brault

Hanging in there is just a part of the mapped journey.

Love,
Me.

Mso you are right you cant place expectations on people if you do you will have a very miserable life especially in Marriage, I think your tolerance level has to be very high and a high amount of patience is also needed. I like your quote and il quote it again: realizing and acknowledging that the imperfections of your spouse should be the connecting bridge between your two souls' unfortunately not many people realize that; people are always in a rush to get married with the wrong reasons and then find themselves trapped in relationships they cannot get themselves out of.

mso said...

Yeah...and for that reason. I will not rush into any marriage union and God help me to get married for ALL the right reasons...atleast if i can help it :)

For now, I will enjoy the moments in my life-savour every stage that i am in :)

I will hang in there until :)

Yes do hang in there until I would not like a situation where we have comments from a bitter woman and its all because she got married to a man because of his money, cars, looks all the material things and did not look inside the person and at the same time did not search deep within herself to know if she was ready to take the bold step of commitment
