Why do celebrities not stay married?
Let's face it: remaining married may be as difficult as wrestling a greased-up pig when you're constantly surrounded by an army of shouting fans, paparazzi flashbulbs in your face, and a never-ending assault of social media comments. Celebrities are constantly under pressure to appear and act flawless, all the while managing rigorous schedules and endless temptations lying around every turn. It's no surprise that so many celebrity marriages fail faster than a gluten-free cookie.
Furthermore, with big egos clashing like two charging bulls (looking at you, TomKat), it's easy to see why some celebrity unions appear to be short-term business transactions rather than long-term love affairs. When it boils down to it, marriage is difficult and needs nurturing which their busy schedules do not afford them.
In conclusion, it is important to balance whatever roles we play in life otherwise one could end a one sided beauties. Celebrities bear a duty to themselves and their fans to be good examples in marriage. I hope they can bury their egos and allow love triumph over all the same way Jesus Christ did.
