Shrew's Spleen Corner

Dear Readers,

For years, whenever I heard that someone was getting divorced, I privately thought, “Well, they certainly didn’t try very hard. Why did they even get married?” Now when I hear about it, I sometimes get a surge of joy. Especially when I reflect on the oft-quoted statistic about 50% of marriages ending in divorce. Instead of the nattering James Dobsonesque, “This is a travesty!” I think: Awesome. 50% of those dupes actually want to be happy.

Love,
Shrew
