 When a modern wife discovers that she can't spare the time to be devoted to her Husband and her Clubs and Societies she quits being devoted to her Husband. Marriage is now regarded as such a joke in some circles that while the ceremony is being performed it wouldn't surprise us to see the Groom trying to Airt with the Bridesmaid and the Bride trying to firt with the Best Man.
