72 days

I'm not one to stalk the news, but I do try to stay a little in touch with the world.  I regularly check out the People website to get the latest on celebrity news.  Not sure why, but it is interesting stuff to me.   The latest news has me mad, confused and annoyed.  

A celebrity, Kim Kardashian and her husband Kris Humphries ended their marriage after 72 days.   Now, I don't really know who they are aside from hearing their names every so often.  I don't watch their show and I don't care about their lives.   What I do care about and what makes me mad is how quickly and easily marriage was put aside.  After only 72 days they filed for divorce.  They didn't seek counseling.  They didn't work on staying together they just said this is tough, we are done.  

Now, my marriage is not all over the news (thank goodness, I would be a basket case) so I don't understand the scrutiny with which they have lived their lives already.  However, didn't they know it was going to be like this.  Didn't they seek professional help to sort through these potential problems.  They certainly have the money to.  

I do know my marriage has taken work.  I feel so lucky to have a husband who is patient, understanding and willing to talk through things.  But it's still work.  I clearly remember a month into my marriage having a misunderstanding, a fight, disagreement, whatever you want to call it.  Yes, I could have just said this isn't fun I'm done.   But it took work, it still takes work and it will always take work to make a marriage (or any relationship) last.

This is just such a bad example to the world that you can easily say I'm done even after spending 18 million dollars on your wedding day.  How annoying!
