The fascinating writings of G. K. Chesteron (1874-1936) have shown a remarkable staying power. Two-thirds of a century after his death, more and more of what he created is finding its way back into print. Check out this comment about incompatibility in marriage:
“If Americans can be divorced for ‘incompatibility of temper’, I cannot conceive why they are not all divorced. I have known many happy marriages, but never a compatible one. The whole aim of marriage is to fight through and survive the instant when incompatibility becomes unquestionable. For a man and a woman, as such, are incompatible.”
From “Chesterton Day by Day: The Wit and Wisdom of G. K. Chesterton” by Michael W. Perry
