French President's Marriage May Be Ending

Memorial of St. Teresa of Jesus

Rumors swirled this weekend that the occasionally stormy marriage French President Nicolas Sarkozy and his wife, Cecilia, is again in trouble. Count me in the camp that civil divorce (there is no such thing as sacramental divorce) is rarely good. Regardless, the truffle quote from the editor of L'Express magazine, Christophe Barbier, points to a greater problem that sadly is not unique to France:

All passions come to an end. They are living through what millions of French people go through every year.

Of course, not all Passions come to an end.
