Very long time married to same person. I agree about the lopsided laws that favor women, especially when children are involved. Personal observation of many long marriages and very short ones. There are faults and shortcomings on both sides that call for tolerance. Divorce has gone from infrequent to common and childless marriages have also become common. Love and a common interest in life helps to strengthen a marriage. It is a partnership that combines mutual as well as self interests. The older generations had a strong religious concept of marriage and the current generation seems to view it as a legal agreement only. Sexual attraction combined with the overwhelming marketing of all things sexual lure both sexes into a false expectation of having it both ways. Being faithful to a spouse is more challenging now than in past generations. Of the many reasons for marriage failure the prime one is a void of spiritual influence on how we commit to marriage and children. Just my opinion. Divorce is warranted at times but always has an impact, one way or another, on children as well as others.
