From the Lawrence Daily World for Oct. 23, 1909: “Gov. Stubbs visited the state manual training normal school in Pittsburg today and in a talk attributed one-fourth of the present number of divorces to the lack of practical education along the lines of household duties. ‘No matter whether a woman marries a millionaire or a salaried man,’ Stubbs said, ‘if she has the ability she can keep harmony in the home.’”

I think the Gov. was onto something. In my opinion, all divorces a womans fault. Either its the fault of the one you are married to, or the fault of one who you aren't! :)

Vows for our current times:
For better, and only if better for me, As long as she/he is in excellent health For richer, and incredibly comfortable, Until I get bored or annoyed do us part.
No, I'm not trying to be funny.
