Mark Wahlberg, despite the fact that his faith is unpopular in the entertainment industry, is a fervent Catholic.
He recently shared his philosophy on how he plans to spread his message on the Today Show.
On Ash Wednesday, he publicly acknowledged the season of Lent by appearing with a cross made of ashes.
Wahlberg defined fasting during Lent as “disconnecting from harmful habits in order to grow spiritually,” and he shared that he would be giving up meat and eating only one meal between Ash Wednesday and Good Friday.
Sharing his faith but also respecting the faiths of others, he serves as an exemplary role model in the arts.
My Husband’s Family Always Excludes Me from Dinners, So One Time I Taught Them a Real Lesson
A 32-year-old woman took to Reddit to share how she was excluded from her husband’s family events during their three-year marriage. Despite being married to her 35-year-old husband, she was invited to only half of the family dinners, unlike her husband’s brothers’ significant others. Her husband often told her to “sit this one out,” which left her feeling isolated and excluded.
The tipping point came when she was asked to stay home once again. Frustrated, she made a reservation at the same restaurant and arrived shortly after her husband, catching his family off guard. Her husband was flabbergasted, and her mother-in-law deemed her actions rude. She defended herself, stating she just wanted to eat steak and had no intention of joining them.
When her husband returned home, he was angry and called her names. In a heated argument, he revealed it was a “family decision” to exclude her. Pressed further, he admitted his mother’s dislike for her race, personality, and political beliefs. Horrified but vindicated, she packed her belongings and went to her sister’s house.
In an update, she shared that the comments on her post gave her the confidence to confront her husband. She realized that her mother-in-law had pressured him into excluding her because she was half-black and didn’t fit their family mold. She felt it was likely they would either separate or divorce.
