Why did Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor divorce?

Their entire relationship was based on passion, not mutual commitment, respect, and support. A real marriage can exist for a while on that basis, but eventually the passion (without the other parts) becomes too draining on one or the other person.

Passion alone can sustain an affair. It cannot sustain a marriage.
