Khloe Kardashian's Writes an Essay: "At my core, I don't believe in divorce"

Khloe Kardashian's essay about her Christian faith for Tuesday's edition of Lena Dunham's Lenny newsletter.

 "I've been blessed with a lot in my life, and I've also had challenges," said Khloe, whose divorce proceedings were held up after Lamar was hospitalized in the fall of 2015. "It was a challenge for me when I decided to get divorced."

"At my core, I don't believe in divorce," she explained. "But I came to a point in my marriage where I had to make the choice to take care of my own mental and emotional well-being in order to protect myself and my happiness. I am at peace with that decision and do feel like I honored my vows to the very end. I feel that I kept the serious vows I made in front of God with every inch of my heart, which is why I am still honoring them today even though my relationship with my ex-husband is in a different place. I believe in caring for my partner-past or present-'in sickness and in health,' and feel at peace with my relationship with God even after the fact. I'm thankful that I can rely on my God, who, along with my family, has led me through some of the most difficult times of my life."

According to E! Khloe has "always been a very spiritual person," she revealed. "Believing in a higher power is what guides me to make the right decisions. While I believe in heaven and hell and angels and spirits, I don't judge people for their beliefs. And I don't understand how others can sit around casting judgments on people because they have different religions and a certain point of view. I don't believe you need to be a certain religion to embrace someone else's religion. It's a matter of respecting someone," she said. "I'm a Christian but I don't think a church necessarily makes you religious."

Khloe also admitted she was "bitter and angry" with God after her father, Robert Kardashian, lost his battle with cancer in 2003. Though it was a difficult time in her life, she wrote, "My relationship with spirituality has changed over the years, but I've never stopped believing. I enjoy going to church, I just haven't found a church that I'm passionate about, where I fit in." Now, at 31, she reads daily devotionals. "The devotions are just one page each, with a quote from the Bible, a breakdown of its meaning, and a daily prayer...I read these affirmations to my glam squad every day," Khloe wrote. "They think I'm nuts, but I love it, and that works for me."
