Television personality Willard Scott said, "A good marriage is like an incredible retirement fund. You put everything you have into it during your productive life, and over the years it turns from silver to gold to platinum." That's why a long marriage has always seemed to be such a good idea to the Church. Divorce is like putting your money in an investment fund and then cashing it in just before it begins to gain interest. Note Scott's words: "you put everything you have into it."

Not everybody does. For instance: classified ad appeared in the newspapers sometime back: "For sale: One 52-year old husband. Never remembers anniversaries, birthdays, or special days. Seldom holds hands, hugs, kisses, or says, 'I love you.' Rarely is kind and tender. Will sell cheap - two cents. Call 555-0366. Will bargain." Not much of self put into that marriage. No wonder the wife wants to get rid of the husband. Cheap. But marriage is a 60-60 proposition. Each must go more than half-way.
