I confess. I was one of millions who tuned in last night to hear the news from Jon & Kate + 8 about their decision to move from separation to divorce. It's on every tabloid cover, and I don't have much interest, but yet...I watched. Puzzling.
On too many occasions to count, they mentioned that the kids have been the top priority in their lives above their marriage. Sad. I'm hoping they'll recognize the problem with how their lives have been prioritized.
Marriage works best with priorities of God, spouse, kids, everything else. I hope they have a wise friend who loves them enough to tell them.
The right word at the right time is like a custom-made piece of jewelry, and a wise friend's timely reprimand is like a gold ring slipped on your finger. Proverbs 25:11-12
I've never watched an entire episode but I feel the same way you do. So sad. For them and mostly for their kids. What a mess they've gotten themselves into. I had mostly ignored them but finally read the Muliple Blessings book. I was glad to have read it because it helped me understand how someone (and specifically they) could end up in a multiple birth situation. Thank God for grace and restoration. Maybe some day.
