Jon & Kate
I was so saddened when I watched their last show, finding out they are divorcing. What makes me even more sad is the fact they have said they are Christians. I heard over and over again, “I’m doing this for the kids.” Marriage is an institution that projects Jesus to the world. If a married couple lives for the children then the marriage is doomed to failure. I don’t live for my children. I don’t live for my wife. I live to show Jesus to the world. That is my number one goal. In doing that my marriage improves, my relationship with my family improves. I don’t have an order of importance – God, Family, Church. I have ONE important purpose in life. That is to live to hear the Word of my Father through Jesus and do that Word. I went to Jon & Kate’s site last night and wrote a much different response to them. I expressed our love for them and encouragement but this response is not for them but to a different audience. My goal here is not to get into their personal life and debate it. My goal is to lift up the institution of marriage. That is the only thing I will debate.

my first husband wasn’t from my religion but he said he was a christian
once divored it’s never the same
now I have a husband from my religion and when times are tough we draw from our faith but we are more mature too.
they say 50% of marriages fail and all I can say is we need to support the adults and children in the aftermath.
Divorce is the easy way out. The hard way is to stay and change whatever needs changing. And the only person I can change is me. People lose sight of that.
Who are John and Kate?
I’m sorry to hear about the divorce. I hope God will work in their lives and something good will come from this pain.
I was heartbroken. Jon was being completely selfish. He even said that he was excited about the future now. Kate was devastated and said that he wouldn’t even talk to her about it. He was not doing anything to keep his family together. It’s sad. Their children are going to be torn apart. I’m so saddened by the whole thing. You are married to your wife, and your children need to see the example you set. Jon set a poor example.
I cannot add anything more to what you said, for I totally agree with what you stated. I’m afraid that I’m not surprised. I was telling my son&/orDIL today that marriages and family life are not meant to have the kind of pressure that there is with living one’s lives in front of the whole world watching. That is a stress that God didn’t intend for us to have. I’m sorry for them as a couple; but I am even more sorry for each of the children.
Good post
