Will & Jada Smith

It's another late night and I am still up.

I have been up for too many hours, Its officially cozy time!

I was talking to a friend of mine not to long ago and she mentioned that Will Smith and wife Jada were in an Open marriage. This was a shocking to hear! So I had to dig a little deeper to get the facts.

I'm married so naturally I really admire couples who stay devoted to each other. It's easy to pay attention to big time Hollywood couples, because they are in the spotlight. So I have really respected what Will and Jada have together, especially since there is more pressure for married couples in Hollywood.

I read through all of the posts, forums, interviews and news stories about how all of this open marriage talk came about and I was shocked in an entirely different way this time.

While reading the actual interview with Will Smith, He says:

I read somewhere that you said you had an open marriage. If that’s true, can I get Jada’s number?

(girl power, Lancaster, PA)

"I never said that I had an open marriage. What I said is that our relationship is based on 100% truth. That, no matter what, there’s never going to be something that I would say or do that I wouldn’t tell her first. And then the interviewer said, well, what if you were with Eva Mendes and you wanted to … I said, well, I would say to my wife—if that situation presented itself—I would say, “Honey, I want to sleep with Eva Mendes, is that OK?” And, you know, she’d probably say no. But the point was, how can you expect to be successful in a relationship if you’re not telling your partner the 100% truth? The fact that the interviewer could take that in the direction he took it showed me where he is in his relationship, you know?"

I found this article after coming to my own conclusions after reading how everything Will said was taken out of context. He talks about having an open marriage in the context of being open and honest not in sleeping with other people. He actually explains a situation as an example:

Smith said he was forced to admit he had sexual feelings for other women when working on his film Hitch, in which he stars with Eva Mendes, whom he described as freakin' gorgeous.

I am actually really glad I looked into all of these rumours because it helped me get to the bottom of what was actually said. I think having an open marriage ( ie being open with one another) - being totally honest -

Is the only way love can really last for years to come. As soon as couples choose to keep feelings and thoughts inside, the bond is broken . I know marriage is complicated and I can only image what it would feel like to be married and living in the whole Hollywood scene but its nice to know that someone out there is representing a strong marital bond. No one is perfect and I don't expect any persons relationship to be the same as someone else but I definitely agree with opening up and sharing all the important stuff with your significant other. Even if it's to say... "You know what I was really atracted to this person" We are all naturally attracted to people and in marriage if you talk about it when its something that's on your mind it will bring you closer and strengthen your bond together.

I guarantee I will be thinking about this all night long ( and tomorrow too)

I am just excited to see a real couple being honest and I think it's refreshing. If we were all more honest we wouldn't be in half the mess we're in right now.

I just really just admire married couples who are making it because I know first hand what a challenge that can be but the important thing to remember is that we can't compare what one person says and someone elses interpretation for truth. We need to look on our own to discover all the ins and outs of relationships.

That's all my food for thought for today-

The Story of a Prince and a Girl who Dreamed of finding Her Prince.

Once upon a time there was a young woman named Ruby; she lived in a far way kingdom where only the stars in the sky could light the way. The kingdom was tall and made of stone. Inside, it had all of the finest linens and tapestries with winding stair cases, golden mirrors and exotic flowers that stretched the kingdom’s stone walls. The kingdom was surrounded by a large creek bed and had a large wooden draw bridge outside the tall black iron front gates. Beyond the kingdom were many forests, pastures, rivers and hills.

The young woman lived in the kingdom with only her two servants Nigel and Jasmine. They had been with Ruby ever since her mother gave birth to her and have cared for her and loved her since the great royal war that took her family tragically away from her. Years had past since then and Ruby was a young woman now. Since the great royal war she had not seen another person beside her servants. The lands had been deserted as other kingdoms were destroyed and abandoned. No one knew this kingdom existed. It stood in a far off place that only one deserted over grown pathway in the forest would lead to.

Ruby spent her childhood growing up playing with all the animals in the forest, she had names for all of them and would spend her days dancing in the pastures and walking along the creek bed throwing stones into the water. She was content those days as she lived free and enjoyed every tree, every stone, and every pathway near the kingdom. She loved her home but she missed her family and many times she felt alone.

As Ruby grew older she began to stop playing in the pastures and instead she spent her days walking along the creek bed dreaming of finding love and not being alone anymore. Every night outside her balcony she would spend time looking out into the stars and making wishes that one day soon a wonderful man would find the unmarked path in the forest that would lead him to her kingdom.

Nigel and Jasmine were very old now; Ruby took time to care for them and tended to their needs. She would gather food from the garden and make them food to eat and get them blankets to make sure they were comfortable when it was cold. She was not sure how much longer they would live but one thing she knew was how much she admired they’re love for one another and she hold that in her heart for as long as she lived.

It was a warm fall evening; the leaves from the trees were lightly falling as the sun began to set. Ruby was standing on her balcony in her long white silk night gown. As the dark sky began to shine, a light breeze bustled against her gown and her long brown hair blew lightly in the wind. She stood with her hands on the balcony ledge and wished to the stars like she had so many nights before singing” Star light Star bright bring my prince home to me tonight” She stared up into the dark blue sky and began to talk more to the shinning stars.

Just as she was looking up into the sky, talking to the stars a man was following the pathway from the forest that leads to Ruby’s kingdom. He was beginning to approach the edge of the pathway he had began journeying on earlier that day and was about to step on to a beautiful white shiny stoned pebble walk way that would lead up to a draw bridge and to Ruby’s kingdom.

The young man had been travelling for months only eating what he could find along the pathway. Henry was a prince from the golden city of Persia. He was on an expedition when he was captured by rivals and taken to a far away land where he was imprisoned in a place he did not know. Months ago after many nights planning Henry escaped while the guards were sleeping. He thought he would be able to journey home by recognizing land marks but once he had fled the guards he realized that he was further from home then he ever imagined and much to his dismay he did not recognize any of his surroundings. He had been following the sun in hopes of finding his way home. Each day he walked further hoping that one day the pathway would lead him to his family.

Earlier that day Henry had been walking though the forest with large green bushes and fruitful trees around him when he saw a small unmarked pathway that was ragged and old. There were no fruit trees, only old tall trees and an old pebble pathway that seemed run down and abandoned.

He was going to continue to walk on the pathway he had been but something caught his eye as he walked past this abandoned trail. Henry saw a small red ruby attached to a ring lying in between some wet leaves. The sun was shining on it and it glistened and shinned at him. He bent down and lifted the leaves around it away and dusted the ring off and looked at. The ring was prestigious and fit for a princess. He thought about continuing on the main pathway road through the forest but he was drawn down this unmarked pathway. He wondered if this ruby red ring belonged to someone. He put the ring in his pocket and began to walk along the jagged unmarked pathway. He noticed that there were no markings along this pathway so it appeared that no one had walked this pathway for many years.

To Be Continued…
