It's said every family has rifts, some very major ones (divorce excluded). Do you know of a family which has never seen a serious rift in, say, 20 years? 10 years? 5 years?

No, I do not.

It's been over two decades since I've had contact with them, but I knew if such a family. They showed a lot of love and family unity, they were not lavishly wealthy but they were certainly comfortably well-to-do, the parents were hard-working and brought the children up with very high standards, education was a top priority. They were close-knit, and did a lot of things together as a large and extended group. Most of all, divorce was an unknown concept to them, as was marital separation.
