Will Lamar Odom and Khloe Kardashian Last at least Two Years?

Those that know me will tell you:  I am a pretty logical and sensible guy.  I work in technology, I drive a Hyundai Elantra mainly because of the great warranty, and I've even jotted down how many minutes it takes me to get to work using 3 different routes to ensure I'm being as efficient as possible.  So I should be the last one arguing in favor of this wedding.  It doesn't make logical sense given how short of a time they've known each other, right?

The problem is, I really do believe it has a chance!  Let me lay out the 2 reasons why it wouldn't make any sense that this is just a publicity stunt (told you I was logical :)

1. Lamar & Khloe are already famous. Maybe not necessarily with the other's audience, but they have fame in their own right.  Do they really need more, cross-over fame?  And if they did, was marrying another person really the best way to get that fame?  They could have just dated for a while (ala Reggie Bush & Kim Kardashian) or leaked naked pictures of themselves to the Internet, or gotten arrested for having sex with a horse (no, that link doesn't get old)... there is a plethora of ways to draw attention to yourself.

2. It doesn't make financial sense.  Ok maybe for her it might, but not for him!  We've all heard about the pre-nup by now.  From Lamar's perspective, why would he get into this marriage and jeopardize his future earnings?  He's making $8-10M per year and he's going to sacrifice a portion of it to pay some woman into marrying him?  Why not just hire a public relations agency or do some high profile volunteer work?  He could pay for better publicity, for the same amount as his pre-nup!

3. He has a daughter named Destiny. Lamar is clearly a romantic at heart :)

So ask yourself:  If it doesn't make logical sense, and Lamar is a believer in such unexplainable forces that he named his daughter after one, is it possible, even a little bit, that they just might be actually in love?

I know many people don't believe in love at first sight.  Many believe that you need to wait and be sure and date for years before getting married to be really super super sure the other person is THE ONE.

But isn't there just a little piece in you that believes, or WANTS to be believe, that two people can meet and "just know"?  Just know that the moment they met somebody, they had met their future wife/husband?  Just know that, although they have only known a person for a few minutes, that the person is who they are meant to be with forever (or at least 2 years)?

I believe that can happen and as crazy as it sounds, for the reasons I laid out above, I believe it has happened in this case.  I believe they are in love and that they can make this last for a while.  No guarantees that it will be until death do them part, but for a couple of years (that is the debate after all!), yes.  There is simply no other logical reason for this union.

And btw, if that's not enough evidence that I'm right, look at what the professional odds makers think (you know, the people that get PAID to figure this stuff out).  The highest likelihood (i.e.  lowest odds) are for a very quick break up, or a while down the road.

The smart money is on an extended marriage.
