Marriage vows are sacred and Katie is violating hers
Ireally do try and keep an open mind and I like to think that I’m not terribly judgemental – or at least I try not to be. But I admit that Katie Price really does test my patience in terms of being non-judgemental – it’s hard not to be judge and jury when it comes to her.
She’s engaged again…what number is this? I lose count.
Turns out it’s her fifth betrothal but, to be fair, she’s only been married three times.
I say ‘only’ because I’d have expected it to be higher, but this latest engagement news is just ludicrous.
It's not because I doubt that they have feelings for each other, perhaps they are truly madly deeply in love. But if this is the case, why get married?
It’s not like her other marriages are testament to the vows one usually associates with marriage. They can’t be, she’s said them three times.
Her latest beau, Kris Boyson, has put a giant ring on her finger and Katie made the announcement when she appeared on ITV’s Loose Women declaring that she
now has ‘love in my life’. But hasn’t she said that every time? I really do try not to judge, and I mean that – we’re all so different and just because I’ve been with Matt nearly 20 years it doesn’t mean that would work for most people.
In fact, it wouldn’t in most cases, but it’s the violation of the sanctity of marriage that gets to me.
If you truly believed in your relationship, in the person you intend to share your life with, why not focus your efforts on that for a bit and not rush down the aisle?
I honestly don’t understand the motivation for doing so, other than a severe lack of security and self-confidence – why else would you feel the need to rush into a fifth engagement?
Perhaps I am old fashioned in believing it is important to take time to get to know your partner.
Matt waited 10 years before he proposed, and while I do think that making someone wait a decade isn’t right for everyone – he would not have got away with waiting 11 years, let me tell you – this haste feels a bit wrong.
