I think the reason the divorce rate is so high is because people are so self-absorbed. It's "me", "me". That doesn't work in marriage.
Divorce is devasting to children.

It amazes me that family courts have literally been imbued with the power to tell one parent that they are a parent no longer,only a visitor in the lives of their own children...

Speaking from personal experience, I do not know how to read into a conversation , things that are not stated outright. Thank God I am unable to father children.
If only I would known this fact at the age of sixteen.

True. The big picture is even worse though imo. With women given preference in hiring they not only are discouraged from having children but displace a man who could use the same job to marry and support a family. Of course immigrant women, being "traditional" place a higher value on raising a family than a career. The implication is in the demographics, native-born women are "advancing" their genes straight into extinction.
