Marriage is really just a sham nowadays, and it’s been that way since before “gay marriage” came along.

When marriage can be dissolved by either party for no reason, with no repercussions, it isn’t a marriage. It’s just another social arrangement at that point, and that is the way it’s been since long before the millenials were even born.

Restore marriage to an actual institution with meaning, and people might be more interested in it.

It’s my opinion that a man shouldn’t be declared the father unless he is married. No rights to the kids. And the woman no rights to his money.

I don’t like no fault divorce. I wish there would be an alternative available. Keep marriage as-is for those that want it. And bring back the old rules for fault divorce and let newlyweds decide which one they prefer.

I bet women would be more wise if they didn’t have dibs on a large check of a man’s salary for having a baby out of wedlock. And for those who are skeptical of the institution, a more strenuous process to divorce would make it more attractive for many.
