Thanks, Scott. I'm glad you enjoyed Divorceland. This story sat around in my head for months and months until I figured out what should happen.

My goodness! If I lived in a place like that, I just wouldn’t get married.

It's not a good place to live, that's for sure.

I've written one science fiction novella, "No Time to Say Goodbye," and am working on a crime thriller.

Wow, that was bizarre. I guess when your love is so deep you will do anything to be with that person. The Government is already trying to control the number of kids that you have. The story is surreal and downright menacing.

From its bizarre initial concept to its bizarre ending - classic Adler.

By the way. do you pronounce your name "Add.ler" ? Or in the German way, "Odd.ler "

I pronounce it like the first, "Add.ler."

I once met an "Alder" and was very confused.

Interesting concept. That law would certainly put an end to marriage after it was enacted. Perhaps a renewable marriage license every five years would work better. 😉🤣

Thanks, Mark.

Also interesting: a renewable marriage license. (Or a test you have to take first?)
