Pray for Christy Brinkley

Submitted by ndoadm on Wed, 07/19/2006 - 22:20.

I am sure most of you probably know that Christy Brinkley and her fouth husband have separated.

Apparently her husband has been having an affair with a 19 year old girl and this is not his first affair with a young woman. Christy apparently found out about the affair while they were attending this girl's high school graduation and the girl's father warned Christy's husband to stay away from his daughter.

This is not time to bash Christy for having four failed marriages. I read some comments made by people about her saying that her four failed marriages had one thing in common -- Christy. And, others blamed her saying that she should think about the effect that this divorce will have on the children and what a bad example she is setting for her failure to honor the wedding vows.

One place where we need to improve as a nation, as a society, and as a community of churches is that we need to support and comfort those who are victimized by unfaithfulness and not condemn them or suggest that they carry some of the blame for their spouse's unfaithfulness.

Blaming the faithful takes responsibility away from the unfaithful and enables them to remain comfortable in their unfaithfulness. When people see the unfaithful comforted and the faithful abused, this discourages faithfulness and encourages unfaithfulness in others. The legal community may prosper, but society suffers miserably -- especially the faithful and their children.

Chrysty's marriage with Billy Joel was a troubled marriage because of his drug usage and temper. I am not sure why the other two marriages failed. But, beautiful women are hunted by men for different reasons. For sex, for money, for prestige. And, many of the worst and most unfaithful men are also the most charming.

Another problem that haunts many wives is that there are many naive little gorgeous vixens who might get a substantial ego boost from being approached by a handsome and wealthy husband of a super model. But although these little vixens may know what they're doing is wrong, they may feel they can get away with it and get so many benefits from all the attention -- money, clothing, various gifts, and such. They may entertain fantasies of this man divorcing his wife to marry her. But, no good or faithful man with any integrity or backbone or sincerity of love will cheat on his wife.

With Christy's husband, apparently this was not the first affair he had. And some men are proud and not ashamed of their affairs. They see it as evidence of manliness even if they are wimping out on their word and committing an act of grave cowardice and dishonesty. Other fallen men are horribly ashamed.

Christy needs our prayers just as do others in her situation. Tyra Banks, carries some deep hurts from her previous boyfriends' unfaithfulness as well.

I don't ask for prayer for them just to give favoritism to famous people but because famous people also need prayer more than our criticism. I felt quite upset with Sandi Patty and I do not support her second marriage in the least, nor do I feel good about her being in any kind of ministry while she continues in her adulterous marriage the way she does. But, Christy did not ask for her husband to be unfaithful. She did not cause it. This was her husband's bad decision. And, there is nothing wrong with praying for Tyra and Christy and others who have been hurt this way. It's a lot better than gossiping about them.
