	When I was getting married, the minister offered several variations
on the basic vows -- one of them was "... 'til love has ended." At the time,
both myself and my (then) fiancee felt that this almost assumed that it would
not work, so we opted for "...'til death do us part." Of course, "... 'til love
has ended" is the reality of it all, as I find out now during our divorce...
