Interpretation
In this epigrammatic line, Zsa Zsa Gabor treats marriage and divorce as decisions that should not be governed solely by the presence or absence of romantic love. The joke turns on a reversal: if marrying “just because you do” love someone can be impulsive or naïve, then divorcing “just because you don’t” love someone may be equally simplistic. The remark reflects a worldly, celebrity-era cynicism about matrimony as a social arrangement involving status, security, habit, and practicality—especially in circles where marriages are public, strategic, and frequently unstable. Its sting lies in challenging the modern ideal that love is both the necessary and sufficient basis for marital commitment.
