Who at such a moment of exquisite hopefulness is going to opt for Marriage Lite? Not any starry-eyed 19-year-old I know--nor, for that matter, many 40-year-olds bewitched by the reverie of hope triumphing over experience. Not since prenuptial agreements became fashionable among moguls acquiring trophy wives has there been...
