I heard the news that former Vice President Al Gore and his wife are splitting amicably after 40 years together. I was saddened and surprised at the same time. Saddened that they looked so much in love together and surprised that what happened that they had to make that kind of decision. I don’t know the inside story and will never know and I am least bit interested anyway. My point here is that 40 years is a long time. And what happened to all those love and cherish you forever till death do us apart. Are they just words now or we need to make some amendments to it?
Is it only love that can hold for you for a long time or there are some other things beside that complement this fundamental part of the relationship. Are kids not important and even if you feel that you are not happy in your relationship, is splitting up or taking a divorce without a valid reason (like infidelity, domestic disturbance etc) the real answer. I can sometimes understand that after a year or so you can have second thoughts but after being half a century together, in comprehensible.
