LET’S SAVE MARRIAGES – NOT DESTROY THEM
Newspapers are reporting that David Letterman, late-night CBS host, is struggling to save his marriage after his repeated forays into fornication among his staff members.
Actually I don’t know why he’s worried because as far as I can see, his wife, Regina Lasko, has no call to be upset. After all, she hooked up with Letterman in 1986 and they had an illegitimate son. I mean, why should she expect his behavior to change just because he has a child and a ring on his finger? It was only in 2009 that he decided to marry her.
Was it because he wanted to impress the public that Letterman, on “Live! With Regis and Kelly,” called his behavior stupid and reckless? He said it hurt his family and himself. “You take a look at the explosion,” he’s reported as saying, “and it knocks you down and you wake up every morning and you’re scared and you’re depressed and sad. And you kind of got to let that knock you down and knock you down, and then pretty soon you’ve got to start knocking it down. And then, when that happens, you start looking at the pieces left of your life.”
Oh, really. How old is this guy??? Is he a wide-eyed, innocent, I-just-didn’t-understand, kid? Scarcely. Read the rest of this entry »

ADULTERY STINGS MARRIAGE
Ethan, a professional man, was angry and calling his wife all sorts of names when he came to us. “She’s having an affair with a guy she met at a roller skating rink. I just found out.” Then he burst into tears. “What can I do? I love her. I want to save my marriage.” He swallowed hard. “I don’t understand. I’ve always been a good husband.”
But he hadn’t been a good husband – not really. At least, not in her opinion. When I had the chance to talk with her she told me, “I put up with him as long as I could. I needed someone who would love me the way I needed.” Although they blamed each other, both were at fault; but in her disillusionment she started looking elsewhere outside her marriage and “fell in love” with the first guy who gave her attention. She initiated an affair with him. That didn’t last, so she was off looking for another guy. Meanwhile their children floundered. Read the rest of this entry »

DIVORCE – MARRIAGE – DIVORCE – MARRIAGE…
Some people feel that if they never live with someone outside of marriage, it’s okay to divorce if their expectations aren’t met and then get married to someone else. Why bother to save a marriage if the going gets hard and, heaven forbid, if I can’t have things my own way? If the second marriage is a bummer, then how about a third – and then a fourth and so on? It’s kind of like looking for the Fountain of Youth to search for lasting happiness in that way. It isn’t going to be there.
Certain celebrities are notorious because they’ve been married numerous times – like Elizabeth Taylor, a star of the past who was one of the most beautiful women of her time and played in many notable movies. Did she even try to save any of her marriages, even those through whom she had children? Or, if she tried, did her spouses?
We’ll give her this one: She always married her interests, rather than just living with them. Of course, that sometimes meant she had to snatch them away from their wives. At least that was true in at least one case when she lured singer Eddie Fisher away from his then wife, Debbie Reynolds, another actress.
Taylor either has kept other liaisons secret or she’s changed her thinking where marriage is concerned. She reportedly has been living with a guy for a long time at the time of this writing but now, supposedly, is thinking she’ll take her 8th leap into matrimony.
Then there is the mixing up of marriage and lovers, all at the same time. Larry King, for instance. Still married to Shawn Southwick in his 8th marriage, senior Larry supposedly has been having an affair with his sister-in-law, Shannon Engemann, for the past five years.
