The progressive era and the advent of socialism brought on by the Depression got that started. Marriage became disposable…it is reversible, it can be undone. It’s caustic to women, and quoth Marx and Engels, “(t)he bourgeois sees his wife as a mere instrument of production. He hears that the instruments of production are to be exploited in common, and, naturally, can come to no other conclusion than that the lot of being common to all will likewise fall to the women.”

Marriage isn’t considered an irreversible bond in our culture anymore. The Commandments are no longer binding. Going to hell for sex outside of marriage is a figment of the imagination. God will forgive you; actually God is a woman…

We need to get people into a pre-1934 marriage mindset. From there, children can grow up in a home that isn’t lead by hypocrites, where religion is seen as VITAL.

Yes it would do well for the CHURCH - every denomination - to address it.

Because it involves heterosexual couples, divorce almost gets a free pass by some conservatives and conservative Christians…

When in reality, the *other* sexuality struggles conservatives are all too ready to highlight and call out instead - can often be traced directly to (heterosexual) divorce and familial brokenness. Spiritual and religious abuse of power as well. 😕

Marrige reform is needed. Government needs to stop treating it as a revenue maker. Govt makes over 60 billion a year off divorce. Modern marriage is also the way the state controls its people. Marriage needs to be something the state no longer is involved in, as the state has corrupted it and turned it into both a control mechanism and a govt money making industry.

Indeed. I know people in their 40s who are still angry and bitter about parents’ divorces that happened 25+ years ago.

Selfish people, especially women, don’t give a rats behind. They chase after the lies that they’re somehow going to be happier. Fools.
I am a happily married man. The Mrs is a good woman. But I’ve had friends that have been hurt by delusional women.

My mother should have divorced my father a long , long time before she finally did once we were all grown up and married . She put up with far too much from the jerk and we kids ( 6 in all ) were all scarred to various degrees by his treatment of my Ma , his alcoholism and verbal abuse .

When divorce took off and marriage took a simultaneous dive is with the release of the pill.

Guess I could be an expert on this...between my 2 parents there were 8 spouses...Yes, divorce hurts children, but so do parents who have emotional and mental problems.

“The Case against Divorce” by Diane Medved is an excellent treatise on this issue.

When I was 14 I was absolutely ecstatic when my parents announced they were getting a divorce. By then my mother and I were mortal enemies and I just wanted her out of my life. Life was so much better once she moved out.

Divorce is harmful to children, but marriage to a violent person or a cheater is worse. Sometimes, you must divorce to try to protect the children.

52 years of marriage this year with my highschool girlfriend. Got married 4 months out of highschool and no.... our first kid was 4 years later and another 7 years after the first. Life is good.

I sometimes wonder how many American parents decide to have children for their own amusement.

[9YearLurker]

I see a lot of fathers go on income strikes at least until the divorce is settled.

Destroys kids, but “parents” do not care.

Hen-pecked husbands and bullied boyfriends need love too. /s
