About this Quote

This quote by Helen Rowland talks to the altering nature of relationships in contemporary society. It recommends that love is no longer something that is sought after and valued, but rather something that is left to opportunity. Matrimony, on the other hand, is seen as a financial transaction, with money being the primary factor in choosing whether to get wed. Lastly, divorce is viewed as a normal part of life, with couples no longer feeling the requirement to stay together for the sake of their kids or for any other factor. This quote paints a bleak photo of modern relationships, where love is no longer the main consider deciding to get married and divorce is viewed as a typical part of life.
