I like Tim Allen alotmore as a stand up than as an actor. I'm glad that he's happy with his new wife. But walking away from a 19 year marriageI hope his first wife got a ton of money and new happiness in her life.

You hope she got a ton of money?? Typical. Theres a thing called GETTING A JOB. I love it how if a marriage doesn't work out for whatever reason the other person should get paid if it doesn't last. Its almost like being paid because you thought you loved someone. Maybe i should get some money from all my ex girlfriends because it didn't work out!

I remember Tim Allen having some "problems" just before he got famous in "Tool Time" (and just before he married his first wife though they had been college sweethearts) and then problems after he wasn't in Tool Time anymore that could indicate a strain for any marriage.
His first marriage was between 7 April 1984 - 1 March 2003.
People always said they were made for each other.
Then in the late 1990's he was arrested on a DUI with the imperative that he get help for his alcoholism. It was at this point which also included the difficulties and dynamics of Tim's not being in "Tool Time" anymore; I believe,
that she divorced him.
I believe they had been a very happy couple before this and friends had been shocked when the announcement was made.
From People Magazine, http://www.people.com/people/archive/article/0,,20129969,00.html
"Twenty years ago, Deibel stood by her then-unknown college sweetheart when a bust for distributing cocaine in Michigan led to 28 months in a federal penitentiary. "We loved each other. It was that simple," she told PEOPLE in 1991. But simplicity vanished that same year as Home Improvement began its eight-season run as one of ABC's top-rated sitcoms. In between tinkering on the fleet of cars he keeps just a quick Impala-ride from his $2.2 million Sherman Oaks home, Allen wrote a bestselling book (Don't Stand Too Close to a Naked Man) and scored two movie hits (The Santa Clause, Toy Story). The fame never threw him; the schedule did.
"How many times do I have to tell myself that on my deathbed I'm not gonna say, 'Gee, I wish I'd spent more time at the office?' " Allen told USA Weekend in 1997. Last year he told The Detroit News, "I never see my daughter at all." In pursuing his career, he added, "I let my family slide."
Ironically, it was the self-imposed slowdown of his career with the finale of Home Improvement last season that may have turned the slide into free fall. By all accounts, Allen loved his routine on the Burbank lot. Monday through Thursday he rehearsed, Friday he tapedand then headed out with the cast and crew for a few beers at a nearby bar. (Friends say he has been sober since his arrest for drunk driving near his second home in Beverly Hills, Mich., in 1997; he underwent a rehab program in 1998.) Though Deibel and Kady often attended the Friday tapings, "Laura wasn't around all that much," recalls Billy Riback. "She was raising a child, trying to maintain the home life." Their life was thrown off-kilter when the series ended, although Allen started a production company and continued racing cars. "He's like a CEO who retires after 30 years on the job and suddenly comes home and has nothing to do but bother his wife," says Allen's longtime friend and business partner Rob Cowin, who is godfather to Kady. "He's driving her crazy."
The image is hard for friends of Allen's, such as George Kutlenios, to believe. Back in 1982, when the Western Michigan University graduate was performing at Kutlenios's club for $50 a show, Deibel, who at the time was sales manager for an interior landscape "always sat at the back of the room, and always gave Tim a big hug and kiss when he came off." His success was "a hard adjustment at first," says Cowin. "She supported him [emotionally] all those years, and then he became famous and she was in the back seat." Still, the two remain closely connected, as Deibel helps run their charitable foundation. Like most couples they disagreed on matters both frivolous (she wanted to visit museums on a trip to Italy; he voted for the Ferrari factory) and serious (he told Ladies' Home Journal he wanted another child and she did not).It looks like Tim is doing quite well now and I was pleased to see on his Christmas "Last Man Standing" show there were quite a few references to Christianity, showing his character as a church-going person who knew the Bible.
(In Tim's own comical and "Last Man Standing" way.)
God bless him
