Marriage gives you a new respect for a person.

My parents separated when I was four. It wasn't the smoothest of divorces but then as my mother always says 'You can't have a passionate marriage without a passionate divorce.'

French novels generally treat of the relations of women to the world and to lovers after marriage consequently there is a great deal in French novels about adultery about improper relations between the sexes about many things which the English public would not allow.
