Happily Married for 40-Plus Years
New York City artists Bernard and Honey Kassoy married in 1946 and are former members of the teachers' union. "I don't know whether marriage in its institutional sense is really necessary," says Bernard. "But a lot of what's supposed to be new -- the divorce rate, the separations and people living outside of marriage -- went on before, too, only it wasn't talked about. It was kept quiet."
