Margaret Mead Quotes About Divorce

Quotes about: Divorce

• No matter how free divorce, how frequently marriages break up, in most societies there
  is the assumption of permanent mating, of the idea that the marriage should last as
  long as both live. . . . No known society has ever invented a form of marriage strong
  enough to stick that did not contain the 'till death us do part' assumption.
