So instead a child should grow up in a home where the parents hate each other, don't want to speak to each other, and snipe at each other whenever they can, so that the child grows up thinking this is what a marriage is supposed to be about? Good one.

no, parents should grow up and be civil to one another, so that children learn how to get along with people they disagree with; even love people they disagree with. duh.

Semantics. The end result is still two people condemned to unhappiness because it's "wrong" and "evil" to get divorced.

And then teaching a child, "Yea, it's okay if I end up marrying someone I don't actually like, I'll just put up with them so I can breed in the way society wants me to."

If this is what you believe is right, I respect that. But I'm not going to be told that that's what *I* should do, or my child should do.
