Are Divorces the New Weddings?

As you may have seen on our news’ section, last week’s Project Runway featured the designers reworking the wedding dresses of divorced women. The idea was to create an outfit the woman could wear in her “new life.” I've seen a lot of articles lately about bakeries that specialize in “divorce cakes,” cakes that celebrate divorces, usually with a humorous take on wedding cakes.

As a general rule, I don’t have a problem with divorce. I think relationships are difficult and we all have to come up with solutions that work for us. I don’t think divorce is going to be the end of civilization, but I do wonder what’s behind this new celebration of divorce? Is it just making the best of a difficult situation? Could acknowledging the reality of divorce actually be good for marriage? What do you think?
