THE PERFECT COUPLE
Many explanations have been put forth for the fact that
one in three marriages
in Canada
ends in divorce. While some people argue that a change in traditional
marriage roles is the
cause of divorce, others point out that today women have
the option of choosing divorce over an unhappy marriage. After all, society
judges a marriage to be successful simply if it endures, but a socie-ty with a low
divorce rate cannot necessarily say it has a high rate of good marriages.
Linda: Keith, you'll never believe what's happened!
Keith: What do you mean?
Linda: Monika and Gunnar are getting divorced.
Keith: You're kidding! When? What happened?
Linda: Well, I don't really know, but I heard through the grapevine that they've
been quietly separated for two months already and are filing for divorce.
Supposedly, they're still on speaking terms.
Keith: That's really surprising - I always thought that they were so suited to
each other, such similar personalities... What about the kids? Who will get
custody?
Linda: Joint custody, I hear. Apparently it's all quite amicable - no squabbling
over who'll get the house and stuff. An uncontested divorce with all the details
worked out.
