Raising Kids: Why Two Parent Homes Are Not Always Better

A recent entertainment news report on the celebrity night scene mentioned R&B singer Ray J's four picture adult film deal and his odd relationship with famous diva Whitney Houston. While many celebrities date others who are not nearly the same age, this relationship between Ray J and Whitney Houston appears to be a bit concerning. They do not have anything in common aside from the music industry. However, there are celebrity couples who vary in age and seem to be very happy and maintain successful relationships. This means that there is a possibility that Whitney Houston and Ray J could become one of those couples.

No one really knows what the nature of their relationship is. One has to wonder why a 26 year-old man would be cuddled up with a 43 year-old woman. Age may not be an important factor in our contemporary society. However, it would seem that a young man like Ray J would follow a different path than what he has presented to the world. He is the younger brother of R&B singer Brandy and the son of two married parents.

Ray J's parents, Sonja and Willie Norwood have been active participants in their children's career for many years. This is one reason why it is difficult to understand why Ray J would live the kind of lifestyle that he has maintained, acting in porn movies and making questionable decisions about his public image. He appears to be either searching for some form of purpose or just living a thoughtless life full of parties, sex and older women. Many of the Norwood biographies reveal that both Brandy and Ray J were a part of a devoted churchgoing family. They two stars began their entertainment careers early in their life, with help from their mother.
