KF, The marriage contract no doubt evolved as a result of a long history of sad human betrayals. Unfortunately, it is not enforcable in Court. Imagine a Judge telling a spouse that she must love and cherish in sickness and in health and give up her boyfriend. The whole experience was so astounding to me that I wrote about it to reflect on it later. Fortunately, while there's life there's hope, and love is "as perrenial as the grass", which is also astounding.
