''' Most Celebrity Marriages Could Work, If... '''

Not a fashion jewelry but a sign of total commitment.

It's a sight of wonder, a glamour, and an aesthetic style, with a state-of-the-art fashion, in which engagements and solemnization of celebrities are announced, organised and marriage ceremonies eventually celebrated. 

The publicity that goes into planning, at all levels of chosen dates and venues, for such occasions, cannot be over-emphasized as, already, these celebrity love birds, about whom such marriage announcements are made, are ever in the cameras. These stars, who mostly, are daily household names and even points of reference, and reverence, to individuals in our societies, especially for parents who seek to instill some morals discipline in their children, do not stop making the news about their prowess, how they abruptly end matrimonial engagements, with absolute impunity. 

It is sad, how these personalities, who, most parents and their wards look up to for values and virtues, struggle to stay above the tidal waves of matrimony, despite their success in the succinct execution of the marital roles they play on sets. It is still a puzzle, over all, how most fail to keep the vows they exchange with their respective partners to themselves, with themselves, and between themselves and God, who holds the autonomous patent right over marital unions, of all shades, on the land, in cases where infidelity steers the union to its demise. 

Perhaps someone must have been of the conviction, that a well-edited script on matrimony, needs to be provided, a well-prepared stage and a clapper board, to get the cameras rolling, before some astute celebrities can excel in keeping their vows, for the better and for the worst of reasons, which seem to eclipse such unions. Better still, most potential celebrities, considering the fantasy of being married, must seek thorough therapy on what sets stage performance and acting, as a profession, apart, from reality. Else, there would be no much a deviation from the fact that most celebrities still think, 'being married', in real life, is at par with acting on stage in front of all cameras and the lights. 

Even so, marriage, to celebrities, must never suffer such gross failures if individual matrimonial affairs are handled like a stage performance. This because, I believe, no actor or actress, would deviate from what the scripts contain or how the directors demand scenes be played out. 

Marriage, a union of two separate individuals who vow to give up their rights to a compromise, and stay together against all odds of individual differences, and remain committed to achieving collective set goals, of which procreation and parenting are core of all expectations, deserves all the respect, patience and time it demands to work out fruitful results for all couples. 

It is a never-ending educational cycle, deemed to groom partners, with special disciplinary techniques which forthcoming generations can be brought up with. The very nature and scope of marriage craves time and attention from all parties concerned, a responsibility rarely ever present in the very existence of some celebrity marriages. This may sound way below the belt, but we must state facts to liberate people concerned with the burden of being thought incapable of such tasks as "getting-and-staying" married. The very schedules most ex-celebrities couples keep, do not afford them the luxury of meeting the demands of marriage. 

And so, therefore, those celebrity couples who fail to draw the lines between the creative life in front of the cameras, and the reality checks and balances, would be doing themselves a great deal of favour, to help restore some dignity to marriage, or whatever is left of it, to those who know its essence in the real world. Marriage should not be portrayed as signing to a record label, or a production company, where contracts last for a short period of time, only to be terminated upon a breach of consensual agreements between parties or after its expiry. 

The very rate at which conjugal solemnization, between some celebrity couples over the years, and more recently, are terminated within the shortest impossible period of time, after when vows of matrimony are exchanged, makes marriage the least attractive union to most young people who are considering the idea of settling down. This alone creates some kind of redundancy in the world of marriages, and make weddings such a cliché, which some, school of thoughts, now see as an avenue for one of the 'fastest trending fads' that people now only contest in to prove that they have also tasted the waters. 

To find a lasting solution to this degeneration, I believe, according this union, marriage, the divine respect it deserves by the renewing of minds about the fact that marriages are God's own special means of releasing numerous blessings on couples who endure the terrors and horrors associated with the trials of all conjugal compromises. Also, that marriage should not be seen as a means of creating wealth by sharing the spoils of a divorce, or being trendy on social media for walking down the isle, but as a lifetime journey of committing and devoting oneself to serving the interest of each other's partners, seeking guidance, counsel and protection regularly, by a constant fellowship with God.
