Ok I got way off base, but I agree, that estate is TIGHT!

QTE

OH MY GOSH!!!! I kinda figured that Michael and Juanita were living tight, but I didn't even IMAGINE that it was THIS tight. I probably wouldn't NEVER leave home--SHOOT, everything is right there.

By the way, I heard that Juanita wants to renig (sp?) on the divorce. Anyone else heard that? What's up with that? Either way, homegirl will have it made.

I just can't get over this estate!!!!!

Guess MJ must be reading GC!
 

CHICAGO (AP) - Michael and Juanita Jordan are giving their marriage another try.

The Jordans, who announced last month they were divorcing after 12 years of marriage, said Monday they are attempting a reconciliation. Juanita Jordan also withdrew the divorce petition she filed Jan. 4 in Lake County Circuit Court.

"We have decided to attempt a reconciliation and our efforts to do so will be greatly enhanced if the privacy of our personal lives is respected," the couple said in a statement issued by Juanita Jordan's attorneys.

Attorneys for both sides confirmed the statement, and said there will be no further comment.

"Juanita's and Michael's joint statement says everything they have to say," said Frederick Sperling, an attorney for Michael Jordan.

In her original divorce petition, Juanita Jordan said past attempts at reconciliation had failed and future ones "would be impractical and not in the best interests of the family."

But when he was asked about the pending divorce last month, Michael Jordan expressed some hope of a reconciliation.

"That's something probably we'll work on," he said then. "I don't think I want to sit here and go through that. We have kids, obviously, and we want to make sure that's the focus. Outside of that, when the time comes, you guys will hear about it."

When Juanita Jordan filed for divorce, her petition sought custody of their three children; possession of their "marital residence," a 25,000-square-foot gated house in suburban Highland Park; an "equitable" share of their marital property; and a "fair and reasonable sum" for temporary and permanent maintenance. Under her petition, Michael Jordan would have been granted visitation rights with his children.

Last September, Fortune Magazine estimated Jordan's wealth at $398 million. In his final two seasons with the Chicago Bulls in 1997 and 1998, his salary topped $60 million.

When Jordan retired for the second time, he cited a desire to spend more time with his family, even joking that he would help with car pools. He maintained his home in the Chicago area even when he returned to basketball as a front-office executive with the Wizards last season.

But his decision to make another comeback as a player at age 38 has kept him in Washington most of the time and on the road, away from Chicago.

Michael and Juanita Jordan met at a Chicago restaurant during his second season with the Bulls and were married Sept. 2, 1989, in Las Vegas. Their children are Jeffrey, 13, Marcus, 11, and Jasmine, 9.

I guess so!!

But ladies, would you want to reconcile??!! I mean I am all for working things out but if everything we have heard is true, isn't that a BIT MUCH to handle.

See, now this just goes to show how all of the money and material things in the world can't bring true happiness. If all of the things we've been hearing was true, I would go ahead with the divorce instead of being unhappy.

I don't know WHAT I would do. I guess NO ONE know what they would do in this situation until or unless they were/are actually going trough it. Juanita and Michael have a HISTORY. They have something, like most husbands and wives, that no one will EVER be able to understand. I'm sure that getting back with Mike has absolutely NOTHING to do with money as far as Juanita is concerned because, like I said before, homegirl has it made either way. There's certainly a lot more to this than the public eye will or can see. I'm all for couples trying all that they can to make their marriage last. If they are able to get through this, GOD BLESS THEM. If not, GOD HELP THEM.

I think either way it goes, they will need God's Blessings and directions.

I am not married so I do not profess to be a marital expert. However, I do have expectations or "ideas" about my marriage. I admire and respect any "celebrity status" marriage because from what I have observed marriages take a lot of work and to be married and your career sometimes comes before spouse and family has to make the challenge even greater.

I cannot judge Michael or Juanita because I do not know them but I do know that their marriage has had its challenges and maybe Juanita a month ago felt that she needed to do something.

From an outsider's POV, with Michael owning the Wizards and later joining the team, it seems that he continually put basketball before family and reneged on his word in so far as "I am leaving basketball to spend more time with family". You cannot spend more time with family when you are living in different states. Can you!?!?:confused:

CT4, I agree with you 100% and I AM married. It just amazes me how SOME people have this GLAMOROUS idea or picture of what marriage is suppose to be. It doesn't take 50% from each party. NO, that's NOT true at all. What I've learned about marriage is that it's not going to be 50-50 all of the time (THAT'S one of the myths). Some times it may be 70-30 or 40-60 or ANY combination of ratios. For example, my husband is a very "hands on" kind of person. He is better and has more knowledge about things like balancing the checkbook, maintaining our vehicles, and dealing with our son. So, he basically takes care of that stuff like 90% of the time. I, on the other hand, am better with dealing with our daughter, dealing with teachers/school officials, planning and cooking our meals, keeping our home clean. So, I basically take care of that stuff like 90% of the time. Marriage is a WHOLE LOT of giving and taking. Some times you're going to feel as if you're GIVING more than TAKING. HOWEVER, both parties must put 100% (not 50%) of their HEARTS into it.

I feel that the ONE thing that really may have effected Michael's and Juanita's marriage is their COMMUNICATION. They haveto tune into each other on a daily basis. When that stops, that's when a marriage usually takes a turn for the worst.

I can't say who is right or who is wrong. I don't know what Michael did or didn't do. And I don't know what brought this couple to this point. But I do know one thing. Marriage is serious business. Sisterfriend, IT AIN'T NO JOKE. It takes A LOT, and I DO mean A LOT, of work because while the two are joined together in the sight of God, they are STILL different people. I didn't marry my husband JUST BECAUSE I love him. NO, NO, NO---although that's the MAIN reason that I married him. As a matter of fact, it does not even seem as if my husband and I are married. He's really and truly my BEST friend. We talk, laugh, play, disagree, have fun...the whole nine. But I married him for several OTHER reasons. I take my commitment to my marriage VERY, VERY seriously especially since I didn't see that growing up. My mom and dad were ALWAYS arguing. Back then, my dad was not a good husband or father. I watched my mother go through the cheating and all that. I watched my mother TRY to keep her marriage together. But my father's HEART was not 100% into it.

I think (or atleast I HOPE) that Juanita AND Michael realize at this point of trial that their marriage IS worth saving. It's a commitment (...for better or for worse....). Well, this is one of "the worse". Let's see how this stuff will play out. Personally I hope and pray that they work it out.

I've never been married either, so I don't know what I would do in this situation. But I will say that I'm happy----just cuz I'm a romantic at heart---that they reconciled. For whatever the reason, it's good to see couples work thangs out.

Now, hopefully this all has made Mike & Juanita better people and has made them want to work harder on their marriage.

Whatever happened to "til death due us part............

Now if it KILLS micheal to give up the house, I guess he would just have to die. *LOL* :D

I'd rather be alone and happy, than miserable and married. But some people think that the material things is what makes them, who they are.

People will never learn.

As big as that house is, I say split it in half, she stay on one side, and he stay in the other.

Can't we all just get along.

Korkscru speak!!!

I’m also married and I agree with you 100% on everything you said. I think too many people enter into marriage lightly and like you said… loving the other person is a mere fraction of what’s needed to keep it going. It’s not all about “he makes me tingle…” it’s about can he put up with my faults and I his… plus a rack of other stuff!! I too married my best friend and to this day we still are best friends. He makes me laugh constantly, keeps me focus on what really matters, and just reminds me that we’re two different people committed to making what we’ve developed over the years work.

There’s so much about Michael and Juanita’s relationship that we just don’t know. But I do pray that they make the best decision for them and the kids. If that’s not staying together then… it is what it is. We all talk about “til death do us part” but if they didn’t marry for the right reasons… should they stay together just cause?
