A Conversation with Kate
I wish I could sit down and have a conversation with Kate Goselin. I wish she was my close friend I could call up on the phone and allow her to vent, and offer support and advice.
I wish I could tell her that the grass is not greener on the other side, if she is anticipating divorce. That this is not the solution. That she and Jon need to remember the good times. Remember what brought them together. To have a date night and talk. To have time for just them. To pull out old notes, to remember old conversations. To truly think what they have shared, especially the bad times with the good, before the public eye. Because without realizing it in the moment of early stages of divorce do you ever see that you "can" fix it. You can put your trust in God and he will help you work it out. As her children grow she will see traits of the husband she is so quick to shut the door on and as they grow and develop their own personalities, she will be reminded every day after it is too late, all the reasons she loved Jon. All the reasons she married, him and all the yearning to grow old that will never come.
Resentment is such an ugly thing and in the eye of Hollywood it becomes a huge plank and not just a small speck. It is magnified.
Yes I wish I could call her up and say come have a cup of tea with me, and let's catch up. I would tell her to try, try, try again. And Try Again.

I'm a big advocate of saving what cna be saved, but it really takes both parties putting in the efforts and letting go of the past to make this happen and she doesn't seem willing to do that. Kind of sad actually.
I actually think that marriage licenses should be like driving license. You get a learner's permit, then your license after that, which is only good for som nay years and renewable. So too should marriage licenses be renewable. Not like prenuptial agreements, but you spell out in advance what each of you stands to lose if this marriage falls apart. It would provide and easy out for millions of miserable couples, but would also prevent probably a third of them from being miserable in the first place.
