"She got the magazine on a Wednesday morning, and on Thursday announced our marriage was over"

This quote by David Gest indicates that the magazine was the catalyst for completion of his marital relationship. It is possible that the magazine included info that was damaging to the relationship, such as a post about adultery or an outrageous story about one of the partners. It is likewise possible that the publication included a story that reminded one of the partners of a previous hurt or error, causing the end of the marriage. Whatever the case, the publication was the spark that caused the marriage to end. It is a reminder that sometimes apparently small occasions can have a big influence on our lives.
