More Art Imitating Life
Couple Divorces 4 days After Wedding
There is a new show on ABC called Dirty Sexy Money. I happened to watch a bit of it last week as it follows Private Practice, the Grey's Anatomy spin-off (my favorite show). During the show, the rich spoiled daughter got married. Just after the wedding, the new bride walked over to her attorney and asked for a divorce. I sat there thinking this is crazy. Nothing like this happens in real life. Well, I'm wrong.
A couple in Israel are seeking a divorce just 4 days after their wedding. The reason for the divorce, according to the article, is the husband says his new wife refuses to live with his parents and the wife claims the husband promised to rent an apartment so they could live on their own. It also appears that the wife was unhappy with the "cheap" wedding gifts the husband's family gave them. The divorce was granted.
Here is a case where some premarital counseling may have helped or at least opened the eyes of this couple to the realities of marriage and the necessity for communication and compromise.
