Today Oprah did a hitpiece on marriage, and it’s amazing because the ignorance that Oprah and her guests are displaying is not only pathetic, but it is abundantly false.
Oprah had on the former wife of Lance Armstrong, and her “expert psychologist” friend Dr. Robin L. Smith who has written a book called Lies at the Altar.
The whole premise of this show is all about how women lose themselves in marriage. Dr. Smith is saying that it’s because of socialization and fantasy and women being forced to get married.
Oprah is saying that this isn’t about “bashing marriage” except the problem with Oprah is that Oprah has once again failed to have a true marriage expert on her show. There are thousands of marriage and family therapists who have successful marriages and who have made it work — without the woman losing herself.
Oprah could have easily had on Dr. Neil Clark Warren who founded E-Harmony.com and also has authored tons of books on the subject. She could have had on Dr. James Dobson and his wife Shirley, or Dr. Kevin Lehman who is an expert in the field. Apparently Oprah’s staff are lacking in resources.
The bottom line is that Oprah does not believe in marriage for women. She’s a perfect example of a woman who fears commitment, has swallowed the lie that she does not need to be married to the man she is having sexual relations with and also a perfect example of someone who genuinely has no morals when it comes to the sanctity of marriage. Too bad most of America’s women have watched her propaganda hit piece against marriage.
I think it’s also important to note that her two guest have been divorced – so why would anyone want to take their advice? It’s apparent they couldn’t keep a commitment, and/or that they were foolish and naive when they got married.
