How useful is relationship advice from divorced people?
When considering the usefulness of relationship advice and their applicability in ongoing relationships, does the source of such advice matter? Should marriage advise from divorced folks count for much?
Depending on which side of the divide you fall, you’ll either say yes or no.
No to relationship advice from divorced people
Some people believe that if you are divorced, it is obvious that you could not make your marriage work and if you couldn’t use your wisdom to make your relationship work, why should anyone adopt it?
If they couldn’t make their marriages work, why should they be advising others? That’s the belief of people who fall in this category.
What people like this fail to realise is that sometimes, people learn only from mistakes and sad expereinces. The knowledge being offered may have been learnt only after the divorce. People actually become wiser after some experiences.
Also being divorced does not always mean someone was a bad partner. The fault could have entirely been the other partner’s, as in a case of domestic violence.

Yes to relationship advice from divorced people
For those who will yes, the ‘usability’ of relationship and marriage advise is independent of its giver. Such people believe that the validity and wisdom of words is not downplayed by its giver, and for divorced people, one can’t out their opinions on marriage and relationship issues.
This is because they usually have lessons from their botched marriages which can inspire some very good advice to other people. This writer believes so much in this.

Ranveer Singh & Deepika Padukone taking marriage advice from Virushka?
For as long as we can remember, rumor mills have been abuzz with the pieces of news regarding the much-awaited wedding of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s current favourites, Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone. While many instances and public sightings of the two, with their family members or otherwise, do point towards a marriage definitely being on the cards, there has probably been no definite answer to the “When” and “Where” part of it.
Probably until now.
A source, who claims to be a friend to the Padmaavat pair was quoted saying, “Ranveer and Deepika are getting married this November. The preparations have begun and they could in all probability have a destination wedding in Italy.”
The source further added, “Deepika and Ranveer don’t want excessive media glare on their marriage. Earlier on, there was talk that the Switzerland government was keen to host their wedding. Ranveer is the brand ambassador for Swiss Tourism. So, a section of the media kept this theory alive. However, now we hear that the superstar couple wants an exotic location for their D-Day and this time around, the Italian government, too, has shown interest in their marriage.”
Now, it’s quite possible that the two might have thought over or are acting upon the idea of consulting their fellow mates Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli, given how they chose to tie the knot. We mean, that’s not entirely impossible, right? If the wedding is supposed to be in Italy, there are pretty high chances of them asking someone who has, quite literally, been there and done that.
