Administrators Gail Posted December 27, 2011 Administrators Posted December 27, 2011 Sinead O'Connor ends her 4th marriage (I find this rather scary... 16 days!!!): Quote: Sinead O'Connor ends fourth marriage after 16 days (Reuters) - Irish singer Sinead O'Connor has ended her fourth marriage after just 16 days, blaming pressure and disapproval from the family and friends of her new husband Barry Herridge. O'Connor, 46, said on her blog that the marriage went wrong three hours after the Dec 8. ceremony in Las Vegas and that the pair had lived together for only seven days before splitting on Christmas Eve. "Within 3 hours of the ceremony being over the marriage was kyboshed (ruined) by the behavior of certain people in my husband's life. And also by a bit of a wild ride I took us on looking for a bit of a smoke of weed for me wedding night as I don't drink," the controversial singer wrote. O'Connor, who found fame in the late 1980s with her shaved head and original voice on songs like "Nothing Compares 2 U", said that Herridge was "enormously wounded and very badly affected by that experience and also by the attitude of those close to him toward our marriage. It became apparent to me that if he were to stay with me he would be losing too much to bear." She added that she had decided to end the marriage, and said the couple had made a mistake "rushing into getting married" without being prepared for the consequences on his life. "The marriage was 16 days. We lived together for 7 days only. Until Xmas eve. And we haven't been awful to each other," she wrote. O'Connor has been married three times previously. Her most recent union to musician Steve Cooney ended earlier this year after about one year. She courted controversy in the 1990s by tearing up a photo of Pope John Paul II on live television in a protest over priestly sexual abuse in the Catholic Church, by declaring herself to be a lesbian and then retracting her assertion, and by being ordained as a priest in a breakaway Catholic Church sect.

Members phkrause Posted December 27, 2011 Members Posted December 27, 2011 The problem that I see is, that they see everyone doing that, so why not do it also. Now I'm not saying there might not be some legit reason, like abuse or adultery. And that would be the Bible's reason. But most have no use for that book so they don't care. Its sad.

I saw that, too, and thought to myself, "YES!!!" It is not too long ago that they knew the reasons they wanted to be together.

Moderators LynnDel Posted January 8, 2012 Moderators Posted January 8, 2012 Too many get married with less thought than when they choose a restaurant. "Let's go out to eat/get married." "OK, done deal." "On second thought..." Quote LD
Administrators Naomi Posted January 8, 2012 Administrators Posted January 8, 2012 Too many get married with less thought than when they choose a restaurant. "Let's go out to eat/get married." "OK, done deal." "On second thought..." LD At first I had to smile at your synopsis of the process which many use to decide upon marriage. Then I thought how sad! I can't even imagine how a person could jump into marriage without much prayer and knowledge of yourself and the other person. Would scare me!!! Of course I will probably be forever single because I am looking for someone whose faults are compatible with mine.

Administrators Naomi Posted January 8, 2012 Administrators Posted January 8, 2012 NAOMI SO you are looking for some one with similar faults interesting dgrimm60 Yes Dgrim but it may be an impossible task...it's been 13 years.

Moderators LynnDel Posted January 9, 2012 Moderators Posted January 9, 2012 This is how marriage proposals seem to go: The guy gets out the ring (bait), shows it to the girl and says, "Will you marry me?" She looks at the ring, puts it on, admires it, says, "Yes." It seems like he's saying, "Say yes, and look what you get -- shiny!" I'm not necessarily against rings, but the whole transaction seems like a bait and switch to me! Quote LD
Administrators Naomi Posted January 9, 2012 Administrators Posted January 9, 2012 NAOMI WHAT does the bible say nothing is impossible with GOD dgrimm60 You are correct, that is what it says. That's why I put it into his hands. If it is to be, it is up to Him. Quote If your dreams are not big enough to scare you, they are not big enough for God
Administrators Naomi Posted January 9, 2012 Administrators Posted January 9, 2012 NAOMI I believe that I understand were you are coming from dgrimm60 Yes, DG I suspect that you do. Quote If your dreams are not big enough to scare you, they are not big enough for God
Administrators Naomi Posted January 9, 2012 Administrators Posted January 9, 2012 LD I had never thought of it as bate & switch, but that is an excellent analogy. Quote If your dreams are not big enough to scare you, they are not big enough for God
