Understanding the Role of Beliefs in Kim Kardashian's Marriage Breakdown

  Marriage can be made more challenging when differing beliefs cause conflict. For believers, choosing a partner who shares similar religious ideals can make choosing their partner much simpler. Kim Kardashian this week addressed, on Jay Shetty's podcast, some of the difficulties associated with having differing viewpoints from those close to you. Political Beliefs Politics have never been so divisive; many individuals may feel like they belong to two distinctly separate worlds. This feeling may be particularly acute within the United States where political antipathy runs deepest of all. However, some Americans end up marrying someone from an opposing political affiliation. According to the most recent Gallup poll, 28% of American's prefer that their child marry either a Democrat or Republican; this represents a dramatic change since 1958 when only 16% had such preferences; most didn't care either way! Kanye West and Kim Kardashian had an amicable marriage at first, but cracks began appearing when he openly supported Donald Trump and issued his controversial TMZ rant about slavery being "a choice". Unfortunately, this led to significant distance in their relationship and there have since been reports of possible divorce proceedings. Page Six reported that Kim and Kanye's marriage is likely over, noting that Kim hired Laura Wasser (known for representing celebrities such as Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie) as her divorce attorney to begin the proceedings. Additionally, Page Six pointed out that Kim has stopped wearing her wedding ring recently and can no longer be found alongside Kanye on social media photos. On March 2, a judge granted Kim Kardashian's request to terminate her marriage to Kanye West and permit her to use her maiden name, dropping "West" from her moniker via an Instagram post which appeared to make a clear reference to rumors about their potential romantic connection with Pete Davidson. Though details surrounding their split are unknown, TMZ reported that Kanye will share custody with Kim and pay her $200,000 per month in child support payments. They agreed not to seek spousal support. However, as they didn't have a prenuptial agreement in place this could potentially complicate matters further. Parenting Beliefs Parents often form beliefs about what it means to be good parents through experiences and the expectations of others, which can then impact your beliefs about parenting and ultimately affect how well their children thrive. But if these beliefs don't support this goal? That is known as parenting rut - usually caused by parenting philosophies that don't match with personal values. Reevaluation can help break you out of a rut, providing an opportunity to identify some underlying issues and implement changes more in line with your family's goals. Parents often believe it's essential to provide their kids with direct guidance. They may want to be involved in all of their children's activities and be available during any tough times; on the other hand, some believe it best for their kids to figure things out on their own. An interesting aspect of parenting beliefs worth investigating is their impact on a child's diagnosis. When dealing with chronic or severe illnesses in their child's life, parents can have various views about how best to raise their offspring. Recent researchers surveyed nearly 6,000 mothers to examine whether parental beliefs differ depending on the illness of their child and/or educational attainment of mother. High-SES mothers were more likely to endorse authoritative parenting than low-SES mothers; nonetheless, both groups believed strongly in creating strong relationships between themselves and their child(ren). This research supports that it is more important to focus on the quality than style when it comes to parenting, as well as discussing with healthcare providers how your child's diagnosis might alter your beliefs about parenthood. At some point, all parents should discuss how best to support their child's health and wellbeing, ultimately guaranteeing them with the best care available. Faith Beliefs Religious traditions define themselves through their faith beliefs. Faith often involves trusting things without being able to prove them - this view of it has come to be known as the 'venture' model, since its cognitive component often acts like taking something on trust that we may or may not know for certain (Evans 1985). Faith can also be understood in terms of hopefulness; this model draws closer to non-doxastic venture models than to doxastic belief models while rejecting any claim that faith requires cognitive certainty. Kardashian has recently taken an interest in prison reform. In 2018, she worked to secure the release of a Tennessee woman serving life imprisonment for drug-related charges. Although her faith remains unknown, her actions indicate she places great value in social justice issues. Kim and Kanye's divergent political beliefs have caused strain in their marriage since 2012. Engaged in 2012 and married two years later in an extravagant ceremony. Together they have four children together: North, Saint, Chicago and Psalm. Cracks began forming between Kanye and Kim in 2016, after Kanye voiced his support for Donald Trump and later commented that slavery may be an option. Kanye later disclosed he suffered from bipolar disorder in 2018; Kim became concerned he might leave after his public outbursts. Tensions between Kim Kardashian and Kanye West reached their apex in 2021 when Kardashian filed for divorce from West. Sources indicate she wants joint custody of their four children as well as for property issues to be separated from any divorce settlement agreement. A prenup has reportedly been set up to protect their $2billion fortune. Neither party publicly commented on their breakup; however, Kanye made reference to it through music by altering his lyrics for "Runaway", performing it during a concert in Los Angeles with Kim and children present. Spiritual Beliefs No matter their religion affiliation, many people possess some form of spirituality. Spirituality refers to an individual's search for meaning, purpose and connection with the universe - regardless if that individual subscribes to any particular faith tradition or not. But definitions can often differ dramatically among believers on what exactly spirituality means. One definition of spirituality includes the belief in a higher power or powers; another definition incorporates concepts like reincarnation and other mysticisms. Studies have demonstrated that people involved with their spirituality tend to have less mental health issues and practice healthy lifestyle habits like getting enough restful sleep, among others. Yet some research also indicates a potential downside associated with being too spiritual; such as an increase in anxiety levels. It's possible that being too preoccupied with spiritual matters could reduce enjoyment from daily life, for instance focusing too intently can diminish enjoyment from daily living! Kim Kardashian likely draws her spirituality from her Christian upbringing within her family, including that of Kris Jenner and Kourtney Kardashian who were all brought up attending church regularly and she herself claims they were "very close" with their pastor. Additionally, she has made headlines through her activism in prison reform campaigns like helping Alice Marie Johnson secure a presidential pardon from serving life imprisonment for nonviolent drug offences. Kim has also spoken openly about her struggles with depression and anxiety. Additionally, she advocates for women's rights; recently speaking out about raising children as gender-neutral individuals. Kim Kardashian has experienced many ups and downs in terms of romantic relationships. In 2011, she married basketball player Kris Humphries for 72 days; after that, she has two other ex-husbands - Damon Thomas and Kanye West (which produced daughter North, son Saint and Chicago via surrogacy), as well as filing for divorce due to irreconcilable differences; they ultimately parted ways and now enjoy separate lives - though Kanye has since moved on with Julia Fox, with Kim taking joint custody over their three offspring.
