Well, it’s official: the much-hyped romance of “Ben and Jen” is no longer. I’ve already expressed my disappointment over this news. Divorce is never easy, especially when kids are involved. And when your heartbreak is broadcast across magazines, online articles, and 24-hour news channels, there’s no escaping it. So, Ben and Jen, please take care of yourselves—separately, of course.
Their split got me thinking. Our society has a tendency to idolize the rich and famous. It often feels like the most stunning individuals are paraded before us like royalty, while we cheer from the sidelines, envious of their perceived perfection. Their lives seem extravagant from our everyday perspective.
And sure, in many ways, they are. We don’t jet off to glamorous events in Cannes or Aspen. There are no golden statuettes on our mantles, and table dancing is a rare occurrence. It’s been ages since we wore a stunning couture dress crafted by a team of designers over three months!
But here’s the truth: your life—and your marriage—are far more rewarding. You possess an advantage that typical Hollywood power couples don’t. Your ordinary, often overlooked, and perhaps less thrilling life offers so much more to treasure. Here’s why:
- Your marriage doesn’t need a prenup because your greatest asset is each other.
- You never wonder, “Does he love me for my fame?” or “How does my career impact his?” You have a genuine connection.
- You don’t run into his stunning exes at every glamorous event, having to smile through the awkwardness while paparazzi capture every moment.
- Those days when you feel the need to sport your comfy pants? You can do that without a care in the world—no Spanx necessary!
- You don’t have to spend hours at the gym just to feel good about yourself. You know that perfection is a myth, and you embrace your real self.
- Your spouse works alongside you, and there’s no need for lengthy separations, unlike those actors who disappear for months to film with young, carefree co-stars.
- When you said, “Till death do us part,” you meant it—no hidden clauses or temporary breaks for movie promotions.
- Your vows of “for better or worse” hold true, no matter the hardships. When times are tough, you lean on each other, not on fleeting fame.
- You embrace aging together, reveling in the journey of life, while Hollywood often glosses over the natural process.
- When trust is broken, it doesn’t splatter across tabloids for everyone to see. Your personal life remains just that—personal.
- Your children grow up grounded, without the burden of celebrity entitlement. They aren’t likely to end up in jail or on reality TV because they were born into fame.
- If you face a separation, it won’t be the hot topic at the office. Only your loved ones will be by your side to support you.
- Should a divorce occur, you won’t have to split a fortune in a messy public lawsuit—good luck finding that in your ordinary life!
- If you decide to reconcile, your “fans” are your friends and family, not social media followers critiquing your every move.
- Most importantly, you’re a “regular citizen,” which means you can enjoy life freely—dining out, grocery shopping, and raising your kids without prying eyes. Your relationship is built on a mutual choice to create a life together, no matter how tight the budget.
