A couple whose marriage was on the rocks sought the advice of their pastor.
The pastor encouraged them to patch up their quarrel and keep their vows, but the couple was adamant.
“Well,” said the pastor, “you know the consequences if you insist on a divorce.
Remember this: you must divide your property equally.”
The wife flared up
“You mean the $4,000 I have saved up? I must give him half? My money?”
“Yes,” said the pastor
“He gets $2,000
You get $2,000.”
“What about my furniture? I paid for that.”
“Same thing,” answered the pastor
“You split it equally.”
There was a challenging gleam in the wife’s eye
“What about our three children?”
