婚姻
【Divorce】Dissolving a marriage is not like dissolving a
business partnership, or even like deserting from the army. Indeed, many
psychologists have stated that it is second in emotional impact only to the
death of a spouse.
【Divorce】On a television show, “Divorce Wars,” a
thriving divorce lawyer found himself on the brink of divorce, even though he
strongly believed in family life. As he began to ponder why his marriage was
falling apart, he asked a friend the following question: “Max, how did you stay
married for thirty five years?”
Max, being
older, had a rather illuminating answer: “I guess in our generation we didn’t
expect as much from each other—and we ended up getting more.
【Divorce】”I will never marry again”—said by Barbara
Hutton (who was at the time heiress to the forty-five-million-dollar Woolworth
fortune), after divorcing her second husband, Count Kurt Heinrich
Haughwitz-Hardenberg-Reventlow, in 1941.
“I
will never marry again. You can’t go on being a fool forever”—said by Barbara
Hutton, after divorcing her third husband, Cary Grant, in 1945.
“This
is positively my final marriage”—said by Barbra Hutton, after marrying her
sixth husband, Baron Gottfried von Kramm, in 1955.
“He’s
a composite of all my previous husbands’ best qualities without any of the bad
qualities… I have never been so happy in my life”—said by Barbra Hutton, after
marrying her seventh husband, Prince Doan Vinh de Champacak of Vietnam, in 1964
In November,
1966 Barbra Hutton and Prince Doan Vinh de Champacak of Vietnam filed for
divorce.
【Divorce】 Sylvester Stallone, filmdom’s “Rocky,” was
quoted by Sports Illustrated as saying, “Boxing is a great exercise—as long as
you can yell ‘cut’ whenever you want to.”
Many
people go into marriage the same way. They figure it’s great mental, emotional,
or even physical exercise as long as you can cut out whenever you want to!
【Divorce, Effect
of】The results of a
1978 survey reveal that the main causes of loneliness usually have their
origins in childhood. Children who were less than six years of age when parents
were divorced were by far the loneliest as adults.
【Divorce, Effect
of】The conclusion
of a five-year study by Mavis Hetherington of the University of Virginia on who
is most hurt in a divorce is that ‘small boys are the worst victims of divorce
and their painful attempts to adjust often lead them into a mutually
destructive conflict with their mothers.”
【Divorce,
Responsibility for】”As a pastor in
three different churches, encompassing twenty-eight years, I’m beginning to
wonder if there is such a thing as an innocent party.”—Dr. Stephen Olford.
