Celebrities are a gift from God. In His goodness, He places rich, famous, popular people before us so that we can see that fame, wealth, and popularity don’t bring contentment.
Ladies, you should thank God for giving you Gisele Bundchen. Her divorce is testimony to the truth that a Princess isn’t always happy even when she lives in a fairy tale. If you’ve ever looked at your husband and noticed that he’s not Tom Brady, Gisele has something to teach you.
If you’re thinking, “That silly girl! If I was married to Tom Brady, I’d be euphoric,” think again. Feelings are fickle and not to be trusted. Tom Brady is just a guy, not much different from your husband. He will disappoint you someday. That’s what Gisele is telling you. If you can’t be happy with your pudgy, middle-aged, boring husband, then you won’t last with Tom Brady either.
“John, you jerk! There might be a good reason for this divorce! You don’t know what’s happening behind closed doors!”
You don’t know the details either. You’re assuming that there is such a thing as a “good reason for divorce.” What kind of diabolical hijinks would need to take place for you to justify destroying your family? Divorce isn’t just between husband and wife. It separates EVERYONE in the vicinity. It affects the children, in-laws, neighbors, and ultimately…me.
Yep! Because of Gisele’s decision, I am living in a less stable society. The Brady divorce is a megaphone declaring that promises don’t have to be kept. Millions of Brady fans are being taught that splitting up a family isn’t a big deal. (You can start dating again a couple of weeks after the papers are signed!) And throngs of silly women are thinking they ought to torpedo their own homes and go searching for a Tom Brady of their own.
Ladies, learn from Gisele! Ditching your husband won’t fix your selfish heart.
(Matthew 19:8) Jesus replied, “Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because your hearts were hard. But it was not this way from the beginning. I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for marital unfaithfulness, and marries another woman commits adultery.”
