Agreed, I stated, explictely with a child at home. All of my comments here have been divorce when you have kids. If there are no kids, its just 2 adults... and so all they can do is hurt each other.

If folks don't have kids, then its a completely different perspective. I am still no great fan of divorce, but in a situation where it is just a husband and wife, and no kids have been produced then obviously the only issues to consider are their own.

Once you have kids, marriage does take on an entirely different purpose. It doesn't mean that those who have no kids are any less married. I still think that the only real justifiable reasons for divorce are abuse and neglect, but when no kids are involved, the damage is limited to 2 adults.... While I do believe a husband has an obligation to his wife, and her to him even if they are childless, the damage done by divorce here is only to adults. Which is still real, but they at least are on even keel, and not helpless participants.
