Will Smith's Secret To A Happy Marriage - Rule Out Divorce
Well, that makes a lot of sense doesn't it? If divorce isn't an option, you are forced to work things out. Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith> have accepted that they are in it for the long haul and nothing will change that. The good, the bad and the ugly.
"Divorce can’t be an option - it’s really that simple. If you just remove the option… because, if you have the option, one day that person’s gonna make you wanna divorce. That’s been a huge part of the success for she (Pinkett Smith) and I… We’re like, ‘Listen, we’re gonna be together one way or the other so might as well try and be happy."
In other news, I saw the trailer for Hancock over the weekend and I am really excited about it. New twist on a superhero. Comes out on July 2nd.
I'm not even a small fan of Will Smith, but that's how I've always seen marriage... Divorce is just not an option. I know my husband and I will have a great marriage, becuase we dont see it as an option.
Yeah right, if only it were that easy. Such bullsh!t.
why don't you tell us how you really feel
Easier said than done, but it's a good perspective to have.
I've heard this from celebrity couples before; one morning you wake up ans read the tabloids....Will and Jada to divorce. It was the same story with Tom and Nicole...Demi and Bruce just to name a few. These celebrities don't know the meaning of commitment and staying faithful.
Wow, his daughter is really pretty.
I wish them the best of luck, but I could never imagine having that philosophy. There are some things that are not forgiveable, and divorce becomes the only option. IMO.
He makes a lot of comments about how difficult marriage is. I think that's kind of unfortunate.
Well said.
Well, seeing that his first marriage lasted just over two years, I can see why he thinks it might be difficult. A lot of people have this attitude and while I respect it, it just doesn't seem very healthy if you in a unsatisfactory relationship that drags you down...or any relationship that just isn't bringing something to your life for that matter. Why stay?
I do take this philosophy in my own marriage. We have 3 children together, one who is disabled and divorice is just not an option. The whole thing is, along with that, there is also a mutual level of respect between us. It is alot easier to think that way about divorice when you would never put your relationship into jeopardy (cheating, abuse, etc). For us, it is more about being fully commited to one another. To #5 I don't think you should take all of the divorice reports so seriously. Yes there are some couples that do divorice, but there are also some apparently happy and healthy hoolyweird marriages and I think theirs is one. Just my opinion.
My husband and I have the same creed. I know many couples who like to throw around the "D" word whenever they get into a fight, why? Marriage isn't always easy but the tests hopefully make the relationship stronger. If you only get married for what a relationships gives you, go back to dating. So many other Hollywood couples are just playing married, at least he's being honest.

We're the same... it's not an option for us. It shouldn't be for most but I can see it has to be for some.
It shouldn't be the easy option. People should have to work at marriage. Instead they decide they are bored and move on at whim. I am sure there are extenuating circumstances, such as a cheating or abusive spouse, which would necessitate divorce but for boredom or random fights, it's not the answer. It's easy to get bored after years of marriage and then call it quits, but if you have the mindset that divorce is "not an option" you will be more apt to work at it to make it spicy and rekindle what you had when you met and fell in love in the first place. The grass always looks greener and after being married for over 10 years there are times when I think, what it would be like to be single again, but when I refocus and think about how lucky I am and then think about the long term picture and who I want to be sitting next to when I am 80, I am jolted back into reality and that reality is pretty good. As far as female celebrities and marriage goes; you have to remember that famous women, because of their income, have the independence that the average women does not have. This makes it so much easier for them to enter in and exit a marriage more freely, whereas the average woman does not have the financial independence to divorce her husband as it suits her mood. I am not saying that it is a good thing that famous woman go through men like underwear because they are financially independent; I am just stating it as a fact. Perhaps more women would leave their husbands if they had the means to do so.
Wow! Will's kids are adorable...
Easy to say when it's an open secret that both Jada and Will have flings on the side. But then of course, he's not into Scientology either, that's why he hired teachers from that cult for his school... yeah, right!
his kids look just like him. it's so weird seeing him grey!
save a heart, break a penis
will smith is a brilliant actor , great dad , nice guy and very sexy hot ...................guy. i like him aloooooooooooooooooooooooooot .
I like will smith. He is fairly talented. Just curious is he lonely? my friend saw his profile on a celebrity dating site with many nice photos. It seems called 'R ic h k is s. c om'. Is he dating someone there?
The children are gorgeous like their parents! I can see why they wouldn't want to hurt those kids with divorce. I think Jada is gay, don't know about what Wil does on the side but I bet something. Staying married to them must mean, staying friends, even if the rest dies.
