Divorce is always good news. I know that sounds weird, but it’s true because no good marriage has ever ended in divorce … That would be sad. If two people were married and they were really and they just had a great thing and then they got divorced, that would be really sad. But that has happened zero times.

I have mastered divorce, it doesn’t hurt any more because I believe if a marriage no longer works it should end

The fact that the marriage crashed does not mean that is the end of life

There is a life - a useful life, after divorce.

When two people decide to get a divorce, it isn't a sign that they "don't understand" one another, but a sign that they have, at last, begun to.

Things can end badly, as they sometimes do in life. But if they do, then we know that something is wrong, just as we know it when a piece of music doesn’t resolve itself properly at the end. We know that. We just do. And so we prefer harmony.

Those who divorce aren't necessarily the most unhappy, just those neatly able to believe their misery is caused by one other person.

Our culture views divorce as a failure. One that requires a personal solution rather than a cultural one. Most divorce books focus on personal healing and self-help to get the divorcée back to dating and remarriage. But what if it’s the whole system that is broken?

Divorce is simply modern society's version of medieval torture. Except it lasts longer and leaves deeper scars. A divorce releases the most primitive emotions; the ugliest, raw feelings. Emotionally wounded people do their best to inflict pain upon the other party, but rather than using claws they use divorce lawyers.

book. I didn’t promise anything. I wonder, is it really worth it? A 2002 study argued that divorce didn’t make unhappily married people happier. Yet, a 2005 study suggests that 74 percent of divorced women report feeling liberated compared to 37 percent of men.

a failed marriage is not the tragedy people make it out to be. Not every marriage is ordained by God.

What marriage doesn't involve uncountable accretions, a language of gestures, a sense of recognition sharp as a toothache? Unhappy, sure. What couple isn't unhappy, at least part of the time? But how can the divorce rate be, as they say, skyrocketing? How miserable would you have to get to be able to bear the actual separation, to go off and live your life so utterly unrecognized?

Life is not in bits and pieces. It is a magnificent, rhythmic, pulsating symphony.

The obvious effect of frivolous divorce will be frivolous marriage. If people can be separated for no reason they will feel it all the easier to be united for no reason.
