Britney and Kevin: Mature Marriage or Starter Marriage? The answer is in.

November 14th, 2006 by Nina Atwood

Oops, she did it, again. Britney Spears is getting divorced in record time, just weeks after giving birth to her second child with husband Kevin Federline. It’s fast and furious and it has generated a media feeding frenzy, just like her marriage to Federline, and just like her 55 hour marriage to her childhood friend, Jason Allen Alexander. Does anyone remember him?

For the past two years, Britney has maintained that her marriage to Kevin is “wonderful.” Now, the truth comes out: “irreconcilable differences,” according to the papers filed last Tuesday. The latest story according to Reuters is that she sent Kevin a text message to tell him that he’s out of her life. No marriage counseling, no gradual unwinding of their life; instead, she waves her wand and POOF the marriage is over. The rush to major life-altering decisions seems to be a theme in Britney’s life, and it’s a theme with long-lasting consequences.

Mature marriage or Starter Marriage (with kids)? The answer is in, and it’s no shock to anyone. Why? Because all the signs at the beginning pointed to Starter Marriage.

Britney may be doing the best thing she can do at this point in her life: acknowledge the mistake, learn from it, and move on. Having made the mistake of marrying the wrong person at one time myself, I understand completely what she’s feeling and how difficult it is to make this decision.

Experience is another way of saying “path of learning,” if we choose to look at it that way. Sometimes we can learn from other’s paths, so if they choose to, other women can benefit from Britney’s experience.
