His strong religious beliefs included taking the phrase "til death do us part" seriously. His first wife left him against his will in 1934. When he married
Zsa Zsa Gabor in 1942, he divorced her 4 years later due to
this belief, stating that had he waited another hour to propose to her, he wouldn't have. He finally got married for the last time in 1976 when his first wife passed away.
