Carmen Electra and Dave Navarro divorce

Most of us forget when we take the wedding vows what they mean. If we pay attention to what we are saying, we will realize that we are committing our lives to the person next to us. But the 50% divorce rate in America clearly shows that for a large number of people, wedding is entertainment and the vows are just part of the process to have a grand celebration, spend money, go on honeymoon, and have a good time. I am not saying that we should never get a divorce - in some cases, that is the only reasonable choice. However, the numbers make me believe that either we are marrying the wrong kind of people or we are just not serious about marriage.

At least Carmen Electra and Dave Navarro were not. And to make things even more ironical, they even starred in MTV's Til Death Do Us Part. Does that remind you of someone else? Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey also looked like the couple that would retire to a senior citizens home together. Well, it is not that the couple has taken marriage casually the first time. Carmen Electra made a game out of marriage with Dennis Rodman while Dave Navarro was married twice before (thank God; none of them had children).

It is too early to say what went wrong but like emergence of Denise Vasi in the divorce of Russell Simmons and Kimora Lee and that of Diana Bianchi in the divorce of Christie Brinkley and Peter Cook, we must watch to see what happens next.
