When they have reached their bloom, each returns to its origin. . . . This reversion is an eternal law. To know that law is wisdom.

A husband and wife ought to continue united so long as they love each other. Any law which should bind them to cohabitation for one moment after the decay of their affection would be a most intolerable tyranny, and the most unworthy of toleration.
