Well, it must not be too bad if she doesn’t want to walk away?
The object is to make it not easy, and with zero to gain from it.
PS...About that $10,000 marriage license, each has to pay half, and with their own money.
With your 10k marriage license, a whole lot of people who have been married for 40 plus years would never have married. They would either walk away or shack up.
BTW who gets the money? The State? They would use the money to buy office furniture and cars. No thanks. That’s quite a transfer of wealth from the private sector to the public sector.
A woman with two or three kids just walk away? And go where? And use what to put food on the table and a roof over their heads -- and if she is already working to support them, what would she use to pay a reliable childcare person until she gets home? Surely you have heard that the most dangerous person in a child's life is mommy's boyfriend? Or maybe you are suggesting that because her husband cheats and abuses them, she should walk away by herself and leave the kids alone with him?
No, there is no getting around it: marriage is for grown-ups. A father who would cause his wife to want to walk away has seen the Responsibility bus pass him by many times, but has never gotten on board.
