[Albion Wilde]

I get that some spouses are tough, and there is mental illness and substance abuse. Guess what? That all existed prior to 1934.

Prior to 1934, so did shooting your abusing spouse and burying him/her in the lower forty, without witnesses. Or moving across the country and starting new as a “widow”, a “bachelor” or a “widower.“

Shooting and burying was wrong then.

It still is.

The alternative that society chose - mortal sin - is gravely wrong.

I fear society likes divorce.

We can do better.
