I am shocked at your assumptions!
Quote From: mommymeIt is obvious that the gambler does not have his priorites straight and he needs to change if he plans to continue his marriage. I am not certain that the marriage was based on love. The wife gave me the impression that she married for money, not love. In the interview, the wife talked about her marriage to the "Jones Boy" and how everyone wanted to marry a "Jones Boy" because of their money and places in society. She did not talk about their loving courtship. She only spoke of money, money, money. I think it is great that she wants to be a stay at home mom and I hope that she can stay home as long as she wishes. I know it must be devastating to deal with an illness. I hope that others have learned that you can't marry for money or marry someone because "it is cool to marry into a certain family". Every family has issues. If you truly listened to the show no where does it say Jennell married for money. Remeber it was Springer who blew $100,000 not Jennell. Jennell was scrimping to pay necessary bills such as electricity and water while Springer was out gambling. When Jennell married Springer she owned a modest condo and a car. Springer owed huged amounts of debt, had no income and rented a studio apartment. There is no way Jennell married for money. He had nothing and owed much. Jennell married Springer because he was a "jones boy" meaning they were highly respected in the church and backbones of the church. The boys were good looking and popular. Money was never something the Jones family had more of than the average family. Don't quit your day job because listening, assuming and reasoning are not your greatest asset. Before you post for Dr. Phil and staff to see as well as millions in the world make sure you truly listened to the story and your assumptions have some sort of truth to back them up.
