Augmented exponentially by no fault divorce, which many protestant clergy championed in direct defiance of scripture.
It’s also why something like 78% of all divorces are filed by the wife.
Exactly right. Marriage is simply agreeing to give your partner half your stuff whenever she decides to walk away for whatever reason she deems valid.
I’ll never do it again.
On a side note, I just found out that my ex, to whom I was married for 20 years and divorced me in 1998, has dementia and my three daughters are trying to figure out what to do. I will not get involved at all. She is like an ex-girlfriend in my book and it would be insulting to my current wife of 21 years to be involved AT ALL.
