            Fine;  when that "submission" is one of equality,
            call me.

            If a marriage fails, it fails, whether or not it is legally
            disolved.  Before divorce, men who didn't want to stay,
            left, and women who didn't want to stay (who had other 
            options) left.  All divorce did was find a way to make 
            the leaving more equitible to both parties.  To pretend
            that getting rid of divorce will solve marital problems
            is only sticking your head in the sand.
