HILARY SWANK INSISTS GETTING DIVORCED DOESN’T MEAN FAILURE

Posted by Adam

Hilary SwankHILARY Swank sees her divorce as “a success”.

The Million Dollar Baby star — who divorced actor Chad Lowe in 2006 after nine years of marriage — admitted despite the breakdown of her first union, she still believes in monogamous relationships.

“A lot of people look at divorce as a failure. I really look at my relationship with Chad as 14 years of success,” she said.

“I will carry him in my heart forever. He’s a part of me. Friends of mine and I talk about this. Does someone come into your life for a certain time, and then you are supposed to go your separate ways? There’s a part of me that thinks that’s true.

“There are friendships that we grow out of. But I believe in the long haul. I believe in having a monogamous relationship.”

The Oscar-winning actress — who started dating her agent John Campisi following her 2006 divorce — also admitted she is in no hurry to tie the knot again.

“I believe in the sanctity of marriage,” she said. “John and I, you know, we were both in long marriages and it’s not something that we need to rush back into.”

The 36-year-old beauty also admitted that despite having wanted children from “a really young age”, the couple are not planning on settling down and having children until “the time is right”.

    I concur with Hilary concerning with the santicity of marriage which was created by the great Almighty God himself, and it is also between two spiritual entities,
    a man and a woman. But unless the one you marry turns out not being the one for you in the first place how can she say that a divorce is the result of success? A divorce is a very,very,very painful process for one to endure, especially when betrayal has taken place. It is also my belief that when you marry it’s forever. What’s more, marriage is a huge responsibility that should NEVER be taken lightly!! Imaturity, fame, lust, adultery, betrayal,
    lack of communication or trust or none at all, are reasons
    why marriages do not last or pan out. And if you don’t have the ultimate spiritual centerpiece which is GOD, the chances of a marriage lasting is slim and none at worst. Finally, most women believe that they are hardest hit when a marriage goes awry. But the truth is, men hurt just as deeply as women and sometimes, more so especially
    when a real man is fully committed and woman is half-hearted in a marriage. I say to people everywhere. If you
    are not going to be faithful don’t get married. You will save yourselves a lot of time, anger, emotional wear and tear, stress, and heartaches. God bless.
