Who would have bet that the Clintons would be the couple still together at the finish line? In fact, I'm not sure I can think of any public couple I would have been more surprised to hear was separating than the Gores. Though neither of them has spoken to me in the 10 years since I wrote this story about Mrs. Gore -- a story the then-editor of The New York Times Magazine, Adam Moss, derided to my face as "a total valentine" -- I couldn't be sorrier to hear about the split.Al and Tipper, I am personally sorry to hear about your splint as husband and wife. Is it possible that your marriage was not made in heaven or without the Lord in the mist of it all. Listen, what GOD put togerther let no man or anyone or anything come between it or them. Some one or the two need to get on their knees and pray to GOD in Heaven and ask for guidance before they part company. Sometimes, we who are rich and famous do not let GOD and let Him decide for them. power is money and fame, However, we all will have to stand before the Almighty God and give account on the life we live or led hear on earth. Please Al and Tipper, pray before you decide to do this. This is serious business please do not mess it up. GOD IS WATCHING IT ALL. Signed Big Moe.

I predict....and I have no inside information, some "young thing" gave Al a second look. He has major bucks, now, and is probably very attractive to the Green groupies.
Somehow, when men get power/money, they lose their equilibrium when it comes to sex.
No matter what, bottom line, it's very sad!
Mistake...BIG MISTAKE! But afterall they are grown adults and maybe in time they will realize that a separation was needed to bring them together again stronger than ever. Hopefully for the sake of the family.

June 02 2010 at 2:30 PM Report abuse Permalink +1 rate up rate down ReplyGod's perspective on marriage, from the Bible:
Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
Live joyfully with the wife whom thou lovest all the days of the life of thy vanity, which he hath given thee under the sun..."
So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.
Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband.
So, marriage is not merely a contractual agreement or union of convenience. It is a spiritual union, sanctioned by God himself. God also states in the Bible, that he hates divorce.
Gee whiz, if Al and Tipper can't stay together, what does this mean for the rest of us? Nothing. Using other relationships as an inspiration or roadmap for your own is a fruitless exercise. Marriage isn't a tally sheet of good and bad equals together or apart. Apparently, though, the author thinks it is; why else drag the Clinton's marriage in for comparison? As for Woody Allen, not the best person to quote about love.

It is sad that these two could not repair what had broken in their relationship, especially with forty years experience behind them... One thing I can say-the grass certainlly is not greener on the other side(especially if you are pulling someone elses weeds)and they will miss each other and what they had and will be hard pressed to find a better one...sad, just sad..
Its too bad that they dont have some good friends to help them see=just see what they are willing to give up.
As a gay man I resent any artcle about straight marriages. Ahh boo hoo. Gay people can't even get married. Marriage is something for straight people to throw away. Untill gay people can leagally marry I couldn't c are less about the Gores. This is just a way to say that our relationships are not as important as straight ones and we don't feel the same love for our partners. This is BS.

Being gay does not mean you lack compassion for others. Yes, it is sad that in some states you cannot marry. I don't care if the couple is gay or straight, a union ending after 40 years of trials, tributlations, memories, family, etc is sad. Something else that is sad, is that you have become bitter. I understand that you may have been made to feel prejudiced against but please do not condemn all straight people. Not all of us are homophobic. Many of us support your rights. Don't let idiots crush your soul and heart. I wish you well.

June 02 2010 at 11:45 AM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplySometimes, we do forget the realities of life, the promises we make to each other and the vows of marriage. Though we are individuals, we are still part of the society and must consider the effects of our individual decisions and actions on others-our society. There is no problem that can not be solved by a family like the Gore's. My opinion is that they will fix whatever went wrong and come back together.
