I normally get upset with the way the media (mainstream and urban) chooses to cover marital issues with celebrities. In the case of Kob Bryant/Vanessa Bryant, it’s not the media that I am the most upset with.
I have read Facebook statuses and tweets about the situation on an almost daily basis since the situation has been made public. It’s the tone of those messages that has me upset.
for the most part, more people are upset with Kobe Bryant for not having a prenup than are upset that he cheated (allegedly) on his wife. I see more jokes about how much money/property he has to give her than concern for this now broken family.
It seems like people have such a low opinion of marriage that if one goes for more than 5 years it’s a miracle.
In my opinion, they probably should have never gotten married. Part of the reason so many people get divorced is that we pressure immature people into marriage. Some of the same people who gave that “gentle” push for marriage are the first advocates for divorce.
If stable marriages will ever become the norm in our scoiety again, we all have to play our part in helping marriages from before their beginning until……….
