"What I found is divorce just can't be an option," Will Smith said on Ellen. "It's really that simple. And I think that's the problem with L.A. – there are so many options. So a huge part of the success for [Jada] and I is that we just removed the other options. We're like listen, we're going to be together one way or the other so we might as well try to be happy," he said.
Oh, honesty is beautiful. This almost makes me forget all their TomKat relations. Tsk tsk. Save those whip-smart little babies of yours from the influence of those crazy people.
Good marriage philosophy unless of course there's abuse involved and in some cases of infidelity. In those situations, you cut your losses and move on.
I <3 them
I love them!!
Sorry to be the contrary kid on the page, but this kind of sounds like a marriage of complacency…
Loudmouth Protestant, not really. Making sure you're happy is by no means easy. People have their good times and their rough patches. During those rough patches, it's such an attitude that'll get you through to a happier time.
You can completely ignore this Oprah-esque pop pseudopsychology. I have no clue what makes a marriage work but that seemed like something Dr. Phil would say.
Why are people always looking to other people to make them happy? You are suppose to find happenesss within yourself first.
Loudmouth, do you think the couples who have been married for 50 years were/are always happy? No, those old women went through some things with their men, and some of those men took some stuff from their wives. It's life, get over it. Unless their is drug,physical/emotional abuse or out of control cheating you can survive.
lmao - isn't this also the couple that talks about having in 'open marriage?'
I totally respect these two - they keep it real and love each other.
*loudmouth - you will be single forever if you believe that marriage is all rainbows, roses and smiles. true characterization of a relationship is defined in the dark hours…if they can make it through down periods, their love will prevail forever*.
One thing I know for sure is that marriage is not rainbows, roses and smiles. I don't think I even implied that but if I did that was a mistake because my parents have been married for 41 years and I have witnessed the trials and tribulations they've been through. I was just acknowledging what seemed to me to be a strange statement.
But at the end of the day my opinion doesn't count because I'm not even in their inner circle and I can't imagine what it must be like to try and prove the stability of your marriage to people–maybe a minority or a majority–who will always speculate the opposite of the message you are conveying.
I love Will and Jada. Their philosophy is one my husband and I always say. Divorce is not an option for us. No matter what we may go through (unless it's abuse or infidelity or total disrespect), we have promised to work through it together. We chose to be married and bring children into this world and we plan on making it work. We have 8 years in and so far, so good.
I applaud any couple that can last and raise children in Hollywierd.
I told my husband before we married that there was only one way out our marriage - Pick Six. Not the lotto. He would need to pick the six pallbearers to carry him out. We're in it till death. And strangely enough, it works. And we're happy.
I love them both, and I truly hope that they last forever!
It's easy to stay married when your wife is bi and you swing with Scientologists.
