Good! One of the few mistakes Reagan made with devastating results to the family. I say this as a divorced female who experienced DV.

People need to choose spouses better right from the start. Should be the way my grandmother warned: “marry in haste, repent at leisure.”

The author can’t do basic research. Divorce became a problem long before the 60s.

The progressive era and the advent of socialism brought on by the Depression got that started. Marriage became disposable…it is reversible, it can be undone. It’s caustic to women, and quoth Marx and Engels, “(t)he bourgeois sees his wife as a mere instrument of production. He hears that the instruments of production are to be exploited in common, and, naturally, can come to no other conclusion than that the lot of being common to all will likewise fall to the women.”

Don’t worry son or daughter….you don’t need to do much discernment because you can always lawyer up like mom and dad did. Oh, and friends and family will happily applaud like a circus seal if you dump your spouse. There are Facebook groups and all kinds of social outlets geared toward starting life anew. Indeed, half of your friends and family are also in a state of mortal sin-it’s not like they’ll tell you to save your soul and work out the problem.

Then we have “research” showing that the kids turn out ok because they don’t see Mom and Dad fighting, that single parenthood can be good for the kids self-esteem, and other nonsense.

Marriage isn’t considered an irreversible bond in our culture anymore. The Commandments are no longer binding. Going to hell for sex outside of marriage is a figment of the imagination. God will forgive you; actually God is a woman…

Sure…and the shots are safe and effective. Marx and Engels are smiling in hell.

I get that some spouses are tough, and there is mental illness and substance abuse. Guess what? That all existed prior to 1934. Divorce was shameful. It was a one-way ticket to hell. People worked out their problems. The same mindset that says “I’m against divorce except for cases of ____” is the same demonic mindset that says “I’m against abortion except in cases of _____.”

Divorce is THE most destructive element to the family and society….more than the gays, more than Ukraine, more than Soros. It is clear, yet few rail against divorce anymore.

Changing the law is a band aid solution. We need to get people into a pre-1934 marriage mindset. From there, children can grow up in a home that isn’t lead by hypocrites, where religion is seen as VITAL as opposed to a buffet where they can pick and choose morality.

i disagree…marriages are too delayed as it is…people should marry quickly and have babies quickly

In cases of adultery or cruelty, “no fault” allows a quick and less expensive divorce without the need to share all the personal details in court.

Doesn’t always work.

I am very sorry you had to go through all that, especially the DV.

In my case, my first wife and I dated for 5 years before tying the knot. Then it took a while (not too long) before it became a living hell.

I was dumb.

"People need to choose spouses better right from the start."

That is a wise idea. Knowing human nature "the heart wants" and the confusion of love/lust, I think it is easier said than done.

I agree with your assessment of easy divorce ad I am also a female who has gone through a divorce in the past. Not only should women ( and men) not marry in haste but they should abstain from sexual intimacy until marriage. I would venture to say that early intimacy is often mistaken for “love” when it is, in reality, lust. That wears off and you are stuck with a person who shares very little of your vision for life.

Also if you involve the state in your marriage its a legal contract. It needs to be treated as such when one violates it.

I think you would find you are not the only woman who experienced such devastating results.
