The Rumors Are True: Madonna And Guy Ritchie To Divorce - Page 4
Plus, Guy has become disenchanted with Kabbalah, the cult Madonna is so devoted to:
Cracks in the marriage were apparent in June, when they attended marriage counselling with Kabbalah elders near their home in London. They emerged with a plan they hoped would save their marriage.Both pledged to reduce their work schedules and not to be apart for more than a week at a time. They also pledged to support one another's interests and when necessary, career choices.
Ritchie had reportedly become increasingly disillusioned with the Kabbalah - a mystical offshoot of Judaism, which Madonna has followed since 1997.
A friend told The Sun: 'Guy's initial support and interest in Kabbalah turned to annoyance and hatred.
'Guy doesn't believe Kabbalah is on a par with Christianity. He thinks it's a lot of hokum - which infuriated Madonna, who believes it is a solution for many of the world's problems.' [...]
Said the source: 'Madonna believes the reason she is a world icon is that she has somehow been chosen to channel messages to the masses.
'She feels her destiny has been preordained. Guy on the other hand thinks that's a load of b*******.
'Kabbalah to him is about spiritual enlightenment and being one with yourself and the world.'
Of course Madonna would think that. Is anyone really surprised?
Well, anyway, yet another celeb divorce with millions at stake and innocent children caught in the middle. Despite what people may think, I am not rejoicing at the apparent end of yet another famous couple's marriage. As someone who just celebrated almost two decades of marriage (yes, to the same person), I know that marriage is hard. There are rough patches, sometimes very rough patches. It is not easy by any stretch. Sometimes you've got to really work hard to make things work. I also realize that there are times when it just doesn't work out, and in those cases an amicable divorce (and continued good relationship between the two adults for the sake of the children) can be the best thing for all involved.
But I do think this little snippet sums it all up nicely:
Before she sang 'Miles Away' [at her concert last night in Boston], which Madonna previously claimed was inspired by Ritchie, she told the audience: 'This song is for the emotionally retarded. Maybe you know some people who fall into that category. I know I do.'
Oh yeah. We do too. Checkmate!
