Summary: 

My wife is taking a class in "Family and Intimate Relations" at a local
JC, and her textbook brought up an interesting statistic:  In days gone
by (The book was more specific, but I can't remember now) the most common
cause of the ending of a marriage was death of one of the partners.  Today,
the most common cause is divorce, BECAUSE people live longer!  In olden days
people didn't live long enough to get tired of each other!  

Take it for what it's worth...
