Marriage is great while the partners love each other, but how many marriages are kept going "for the sake of the kids" or because religious pressures prevent them separating?
I know plenty of thoroughly miserable married people.

I agree, I was quoting a statement from the Vatican, issued yesterday.
Years ago, when only the wealthy could afford to divorce, many people simply vanished, to escape marriages they no longer wanted to be part of.
At least today, on the whole, children still have relationships with both parents, if those parents divorce.
