Jada Pinkett Smith Shares Divorce Advice: Give Marriage ‘Some Space And Time Before The Drastic Decision,’ She Writes On Facebook
Jada Pinkett Smith took to her Facebook on Sunday to share some divorce advice. Jada Pinkett Smith was recently involved in divorce rumors with her husband, Will Smith, and the advice she gives to a friend seems heartfelt.
On Sunday, 42-year-old Jada Pinkett Smith shared her "humble thoughts" in a Facebook note, about a friend who told her they were planning to get a divorce, The Los Angeles Times reports. In the Facebook note, Pinkett Smith encouraged her friend to give the marriage some space instead of getting a divorce right away, saying that in the past few years she observed "our elders" who "stumbled upon inevitably difficult moments that called for a break."
Pinkett Smith has been married for 16 years and said that she had been meeting with the elders for the last five years "to get understanding from many perspectives as to what marriage and love is all about." Perhaps she sought their advice after she was at the center of many rumors regarding a divorce from Will Smith recently.
Pinkett Smith, who has two children with Will, urged her friend in the Facebook note to "consider taking the route that some of our elders have taken in giving your marriage some space and time before the drastic decision of divorce. Answers to big questions need time to find lasting truth vs the truth of the moment. After this process the answer may be the same, but at least you will have the clarity to go about it all with certainty and integrity, but you may also find that spark that could save and rekindle your marriage."
in a recent interview with Redbook magazine, Pinkett Smith said that she tries to ignore the rumors around her, E! News reports.
"I have been affected by gossip and I know people who have been too. I've seen marriages destroyed by gossip. It is cruel," she admitted.
"At the end of the day, all that matters is: Do you love what you see when you look in the mirror? That is it, baby."
