Aujourd'hui on utilise cette phrase de façon allusive et parfois sur le mode sarcastique, comme dans l'exemple suivant: Neil and Maggie were supposed to live happily ever after but actually divorced after six months ("Neil et Maggie étaient censés vivre heureux et avoir beaucoup d'enfants mais finalement ils ont divorcé au bout de six mois").
