In a nation of no-fault divorce, isn’t the institution of marriage already ruined? Getting divorced because “we grew apart” was the end of biblical marriage in the US.

Now, I’m against gay marriage, but where was all the religious outrage 30 years ago when divorce became easy in all states?

Polluted rather than ruined. Ruined implies something that cannot be returned to.

There was considerable outrage as I recall, as well as many predictions of social ruin. Turns out that the Bible thumpers making those predictions were quite prophetic....

While I understand your point Bryan92 there are still many people who marry who allow no place for divorce in their beleif system and would not have bar of it.
