Marriage Rocks

Man, was I surprised when I started hearing the rumours and then seeing the headlines that Heidi Klum and Seal are getting divorced. Most other celebrities heading to splitsville never bother me, infact I hardly blink an eye, but this one was very suprising and a little bit disappointing.

This is a couple who seemed to have, or wanted everyone to believe, they had a near perfect relationship. I guess, that already is where the problem started....there is no such thing as a perfect relationship, no such thing as the fairytale (Kim Kardashian!!!).

Seal has made the comment that they are both shocked that their marriage ended. I don't understand, were they not in this relationship together, did they not sense something was a miss, did they not attempt to work at it? He claims they did and then continues to claim he still loves Klum and she is still the most wonderful woman in the world.

What do the vows say:

I, (name), take you, (name), to be my [opt: lawfully wedded] (husband/wife), my constant friend, my faithful partner and my love from this day forward. In the presence of God, our family and friends, I offer you my solemn vow to be your faithful partner in sickness and in health, in good times and in bad, and in joy as well as in sorrow. I promise to love you unconditionally, to support you in your goals, to honor and respect you, to laugh with you and cry with you, and to cherish you for as long as we both shall live.

Aaahhh, solemn vow to be your partner in sickness & health, good times & bad.....AS LONG AS WE BOTH SHALL LIVE. As long as we both shall live.....so, Heidi and Seal have been married 7 years and every year, on their wedding anniversary, they renewed their vows. So, they repeated such promises and made such vows 7 TIMES.....I ask, where did it all go wrong?
