I was terrified of opening my marriage to outside influence. Because it was the center of my life and meant more than anything. But as I thought through my fears, I realized something: Testing that bond was a win-win scenario. Best case, we would weather the challenges, and I would have a wealth of experiences and emotional bonds with others that could complement my life. Worst case, I was wrong about the strength of what we I had together, and it would tear us apart. But if what we had were that easily ruined, was it really all that great in the first place? And wouldn’t I want to know now, 4 years into the marriage, rather than another 20 or 30 years down the road? .Page Turner
About This Quote
In the quote above, Mark Cuban explains his decision to divorce his wife for the second time. First of all, he admits that he believed in the marriage and that it was a very important part of his life, but then he realized that if the marriage was that important, then there must be something wrong. He didn’t want to make a mistake and walk down a path to ruin. Instead, he knew that testing the relationship would be a win-win situation. He would get a plethora of experiences and emotional bonds with other people to complement his life, and worst case scenario, he would discover that he had been wrong about the strength of what they had together and it would tear them apart.
