UNTIL SHE AND HE DIVORCED

FOUND ONLINE: Rhue adhered to Judaism her entire life, and during her marriage to Young, she partook in Catholicism for a period of time up until she and he divorced.

Since you're only talking about one marriage, you can cut out verbosity and say this:

WORD MAN: AMANUENSIS

FROM A NOVEL: Perry's amiable amanuensis wasn't too amicable when she found herself in the middle of Perry's switch

My wife said it had something to do with writing, but I still looked it up.

Meaning: An amanuensis is a person employed to write or type what another dictates or to copy what another writes, and also refers to a person who signs a document on behalf of another under the latter's authority. The term is often used interchangeably with secretary or scribe.

I doubt it's used THAT often. I'll probably never use it again.
