The Philippines’ Queen of All Media confirms intrigues spilling over tabloids about her ‘rumored’ break up with husband James Yap during her last appearance on The Buzz. Another failed marriage to count?
Kris Aquino conveys that she has come to her end after trying so hard to survive their marriage. Reliable informants close to the couple say that the tendency of Kris controlling James are likely to emphasize their differences due to dissimilar socio-economic backgrounds as well. Moreover, Kris says that this is already final. That she thinks that a matrimony that lasted for no more than 5 years is definitely over.
Shaking circumstances of a married life however, are not only meant to be experienced by stars and celebrities. Ordinary couples do. But the question is, if your differences clash through each other all the time, when you don’t agree with other’s opinions, and when you find it hard to work it out, is breaking up the only option? Maybe, the new word synonymous to it- Divorce.
Divorce cases in the Philippines are undeniably in a rise. Married couples frantically see it as a quick fix to unresolved problems. An escape to complications that marriage has brought them. They marry and are madly in love. After a year, get impatient and dump each other, leaving children with no parents. Then marry again. It is but an endless cycle.
If all couples are as hopeless as Kris and James, what more could happen? How many more children could lose a complete and happy family?
If all mothers would be controlling as such, how many more fathers would look for another woman? If all husbands would be as defensive, how many more wives would tend to nag? Logic. Marriage is a give and take process. Marriage is a lottery, but you can't tear up your ticket if you lose. It is sacrifice to the most awful way.
Marriage is sacred.
We are Filipinos. We are basically loving, warm, patient, and family oriented. We are indeed, attached to our culture. Therefore, divorce should never end up as a choice to ‘break free’ from what’s supposed to be God’s gift.
Kris and James Yap’s story is a lesson learned. Some may have the same scenario, but not all. Filipino marriages must be still worth it all.
