Tori Spelling and Charlie Shanian split
While we are still trying to make sense what "fraud" did Kenny Chesney that Renee Zellweger has asked for an annulment of their marriage. But there is another Hollywood couple that has also split after just a little over of marital bliss. Tori Spelling and Charlie Shanian have decided to split as well.
In both cases we have been wondering what could have gone wrong in such a short period of time after weddings that remind one of fairytales. For instance, when the couple got married in Los Angeles, the cost for each guest at the wedding was a whopping $1,700. Nobody ever expected that the couple would hate each other so much in an year's time.
Why are marriages failing more often?
There is a fundamental change in our society. Economic motive for marriage has more or less disappeared. What that means is that no partner is willing to take any @#&$ at all in order for the marriage to work. And everyone knows that if you are not willing to make compromises and sacrifices, marriages will fall apart.
We don't think Hollywood couples marry and divorce merely for publicity. In fact, failing marriages are common across the board. The popularity of "Desperate Housewives" is clearly indicative of the fact that couples are unhappy in their marriages.

So what can you do to make your marriage work?
- If you don't like to compromise, don't marry. If you do, sacrifice as much as you possibly can and insist that your partner does the same.
- Don't expect that life will be different or better after marriage. On the other hand it will be more challenging (though it does not mean that there are no benefits of being married). So have realistic expectations and learn to live with those.
- Seek help from a marriage counselor or therapist. Read books and watch videos on how to make your marriage stronger.
