Reader Comments on Here in New England: A Wedding Story from YankeeMagazine.com http://www.yankeemagazine.com/rss/index.php Sun, 12 Feb 2012 20:42:41 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.2 http://www.yankeemagazine.com/issues/2009-05/features/wedding-story I'm sorry to be a 'damper', but what a sad example of the disposable marriage of our day. This is being made out as a romantic story, yet it is in reality a story of 2 broken marriages and multiple children from 2 broken homes. Marriage is not always going to be happy, nor is our spouse always going to meet all of our needs, but it still intended to be til death do us part. Especially if there are children, it is our duty to work out our selfish issues for the sake of those children. Yankee Publishing (rss@ypi.com) Wed, 27 May 2009 16:01:29 +0100 http://www.yankeemagazine.com/issues/2009-05/features/wedding-story I completely disagree! Studies show that couples who stay together for the sake of their children are doing them a disservice. Is it better for children to grow up with parents who hate each other and show no signs of love? Or is is better for children to grow up seeing two people who love each other, setting an example of what real love should be. This is truly a love story and those kids are lucky to have two loving parents in the home who give love and show love. I loved the romantic story of Tim and Kirsten!! Bravo Mel!!

Yes, broken marriages and ended relationships are always sad...but it's not like either of these two broke up happy homes to be together - it's more like they re-found each other amidst heartbreak and chaos, which I think is a wonderful thing.

I enjoyed reading about the unusual circumstances of this wedding. I have to comment to say that the article was quite well-written and sparked real tears in my eyes. (And I don't think the the author resorted to pushing my buttons, either.) Although I do agree that marriage is til death to us part, I do not really know the private workings of this marriage from one magazine article. Even in the Catholic faith, there are reasons that a marriage is not deemed sacred and circumstances in which one party does not approach the union with an open heart. I do wish this couple and their families all the best. I can't help but feel very hopeful for them both. They are in my thoughts and prayers. Yankee Publishing (rss@ypi.com) Thu, 11 Jun 2009 20:02:12 +0100 http://www.yankeemagazine.com/issues/2009-05/features/wedding-story Wow, what a story. What a true love story. Warms my heart. I think the message to all that are about to get married in this season of weddings should be to make sure you are with the right person. This is only a story because of a mistake made many years ago, but I am grateful for their mistake, because this is one hell of a story... It sounds like they finally got it right and all involved will benifit from this union. Thank you Mel...you made my day... Yankee Publishing (rss@ypi.com) Fri, 12 Jun 2009 17:03:16 +0100
