No we haven't. Some still get married. (For "pacs" see meaning there). Or how would we get a divorce and how would some clever ones make money about it?

In Paris?? I thought that the French had given up marriage.

A while ago, I read a curious statistic. In the U.S., at any rate, the average duration of a marriage is just about what it was 100 years ago. Divorce has replaced death as the usual termination.

That article gives no mention of the children of broken families...

Poem 88 of 230: FROM 20TH-CENTURY SEXUALITY

From One Lover to Free Lover to Fee Lover,
    For children's sakes, let's fashion back to One Lover:
In public-life there are - guess what - women and men;
    Thus, upbringing's best by a woman AND a man -
Not by one or two men, or one or two women,
    And not in a tug-of-war of women and men.

"To expect two young people to stand before a minister and swear to love and stay with each other until death is ridiculous" (Margaret Meade, anthropoligist) (And a wise woman too)

good one, Susan

When I was working I used to love watching the folks & dealers who took part in the annual Wedding Fair that took place in the next building & the square between our buildings. Gi-normous tent full of luxury cars in the square, young women & their mums scurrying about with lots of lovely large bags from wedding retailers full of lovely ideas to take their money!

As I was dealing with Govt stats all day I never saw the fuss without remembering the number of marriages that end in divorce. Same on weekends when I saw fancy bridal parties drive by in fancy wedding cars, or wedding groups being photographed in our lovely harbourside parks and around the Opera House.

Well, apparently they set up a Divorce Fair in Paris...where they had stalls for lawyers, make over specialists and the like....

A great time for the splitting family unit.
