Not only has Kim Kardashian made a mockery of marriage but she has duped many. Just 72 days into her marriage with NBA star, Kris Humphries, she has filed for divorce. 72 days???
Many are accusing Kardashian of getting married for the sheer publicity. Of course, it didn’t hurt that she also received some freebies and deep discounts for promoting certain products. She even made a ton of money selling pictures of their wedding.
According to some, she may have earned as much as $18 million from getting married. Isn’t it usually the other way around, that we spend money to get married?
Quite honestly, I am tired of the Kardashian’s. I think if there is one with some semblance of hope it is the brother, Rob, who is still on “Dancing with the Stars.” But the rest of the family? Hopeless.
And I’m also tired of the way marriage has become a mockery to so many. How do you go into a commitment like this with such nonchalance, that it would be so easy to file for divorce after 72 days?
I realize this probably had very little to do with the true makings of a marriage. But what kind of example does this set for the younger generation? All they see is that marriage doesn’t work. They see one breakup after another (and I’m not even just talking about in Hollywood).
It is heartbreaking to think that the likes of Kim Kardashian are what influences so much of the younger generation. I hate to say it, but I don’t think this is going to change anytime soon. It seems to just be the way.
Meanwhile, I will continue to hope and pray that someone else comes on the scene and boosts marriage up to the sacred institution it is meant to be.
And I can’t help but hope that all of this backfires on Miss Kardashian.
