I Support Marriage
I know this is not a huge news item, and I do not even particularly like the two actors involved, but I am happy to hear that Sean Penn and Robin Wright have called off their divorce proceedings. They filed for divorce in December.
I’m divorced, and I am also 100% against divorce. I did not choose to be divorced, but here in Florida you cannot really fight the issue if your spouse files for dissolution of marriage. If you ignore the papers, all you will accomplish is absently allowing a judge to award your spouse everything they ask for. In most cases, when a person initially files for divorce in Florida, they ask for the whole kit and caboodle. Had I decided to ignore the issue, I would have lost my child, my cars, my stake in our home, and everything else I worked for during my marriage.
I am always warmed to the heart when I hear about any couple who has taken steps to reconcile. And when children are involved, as they are in the Penn-Wright case, I think keeping a family intact is worth fighting for, tooth and nail. Family is a gift.
So, although I do not know either Penn or Wright, I wish them both success and forgiveness.
