Law isn’t the problem.
Morality is.
Issues of Marriage and divorce between adults (other than ourselves) is none of our business.
Nor should it be the business of the state. The concept of marriage licenses, tax implications, and everything in law regarding marriages should be abolished.
If consenting adults want to get married, they can contact someone of their choice to conduct the ceremony and do it. Why does it have to be the business of the state/government?
Have you gone through one? I think you would be signing a different tune if you had.
My sister, who was a special agent with the OSI found out her husband, a former special agent and now private detective, was writing long rambling, vaguely threatening letters to the President. She found this out when she headed the air-force security detachment for Roslyn Carter. The Secret Service gave her copies. Her husband had taken up drinking and developed a number of other problems she could not deal with. (According to him, all the problems were hers.) So, she divorced, at which point his elderly father flew up to have him involuntarily committed as he was so crazy he was now dangerous.
Not all divorce is evil. Not everybody can handle a crazy spouse. Nor, should they be expected to.
Considering that 2/3rds to 90 percent of those who initiate divorce are women I would say it is time to do so!
Are you and the authors of that article completely out of your minds. Not all divorces involve children, and not all marriages involve religion. Are you some kind of religious zealot wanting to dictate to others what your beliefs are. Sounds like what Islam is trying to do.
But if a husband simply decides that he wants to trade his wife in for a newer model...or a wife simply decides that she's "not fulfilled" by her husband that stinks to high heaven and such reasoning makes him/her "at fault".
If conservatives ever want to control the White House, it is time to get out of peoples bedrooms.
It is just the facts people.
Flame me, ban me, I don’t care. You all need to recognize that political fixes cannot fix moral issues.
Get govt completely out of the marriage business. the licensing, the taxing, the tax deducting, the determining what is and isn’t marriage, etc.
Man and a woman want to spend the rest of their lives together, perfect. They want to make financial arrangements for each other in case of death, honorable. Make arrangements for children, the right thing to do.
Family health insurance, commerce.
Opting out of a relationship, civil/business law.
visitation in a hospital, spelled out in the marriage agreement and administered by the present representative (none of the hospital’s damp business).
Less government in day to day life equals more life in day to day life.

IMO the best interests of the child are served by justice between the parents.
People should learn that our government has no business trying to regulate morality any more than it has any business trying to legalize what kind of marriages or divorces God approves.
That is a personal thing between the couple and God....some people need divorcing! Cheats, wife batterers, and those who are gay and married. Jesus noted what constituted divorce, and that is what will be the standard on Judgment Day. Plenty of married people, who lust after other women or men have enough to answer for without trying to run other people’s lives.
Moses gave them the right to give their wife a divorce, and it never said anything about using lawyers or courts....it was a WRIT of Divorce, simple and not complicated. God will sort it out without man’s help.
You are NOT God, so take care of your own marriage, or lack thereof.
I would support no-fault divorce, providing that all kids were put in orphanages at birth, and grew up there.
Likewise, I would support no-fault divorce for couples that have no children (an no children on the way).
Otherwise, the pure SELFISHNESS of some adults should not be wrecking the lives of kids. They don’t deserve to have new parents every few years just because the law makes it so easy to do so.
I don’t think that this is an issue that should be decided by the government.
Arizona, Arkansas, and Louisiana all offer the option for covenant marriages. A covenant marriage requires premarital counseling and restricts no-fault divorce.
Less than 1% of the marriages in these states opt to go that route.
