Really?  Do you have a convenient cite for this?  I did some google
searching, and only found 2nd or 3rd hand references of dubious quality.  I
have heard the 4-6 year thing before, but never from a particularly
qualified source.  It's also never been cited to me as a state that held up
until the last century or so; it's always been suggested as applicable to
pre-agrarian societies.  Certainly the historical record counters your
implication that marriages were not lifetime partnerings in pre-industrial
western society.

If you don't have a convenient cite, don't put much effort into it on my
behalf; it's just intellectual curiosity.
