John and Kate:Gone Asunder

It has been fascinating to watch the reality show John & Kate plus Eight. Two people striving to take care of eight children. It is a realistic picture of the stress of multiple births. Keeping eight fed, changed, and corraled is a monumental task. It makes most thankful they have small families.
Somewhere along the line something broke in this show. It wasn’t the children who broke it, it was the parents. The love that brought John and Kate together has now dissolved into divorce. In many ways you feel sorry for them but in some you don’t. Our world is crazy enough without subjecting our families to the frenzy of Hollywood. Whatever it was that drove them, money, fame, name recognition did a great disservice to their family. They literally self destructed.
Hollywood has constantly touted divorce in its sitcoms and now it has come into reality TV. The marriage between Kate and John broke too easily and too quickly. Taking care of Kids is tough and living a TV lifetstyle is hard but somewhere along the way they failed to take care of each other. Care for the marriage is and will alawys be the number one priority of married couples. When you focus on production instead of production capabilites you lose everytime. Permanence in marriage is God’s way. It is man and womens responsibility to make sure it is done God’s way/
