What we're left with is because of divorce laws, marriage creates too high a risk for men

easy divorce laws, easy sex -- what is the difference? easy sex does encourage men to not get married. easy divorce laws encourage men to leave a marriage.

a marriage is a union of two. there will difficult times and joyous times. people need to learn how to work out their differences and grow together. unfortunately, our societal norms of do whatever feels good at the moment and loss of self control allows men (and women) to neglect their vows and responsibilities when something better comes along.

i wonder if there is any correlation between "less than half of americans going to church most sundays" and "less than half of marriages end in divorce". i suspect that if god is invited into the marriage relationship, the marriage will be healthier, happier and more likely to last, "till death..."

You seem to think men are easily manipulated by circumstances. It's a focus anyway. But by a large margin, women leave marriages today much more frequently than men. Men having affairs is way down the list of reasons. Women leave marriage because it becomes less interesting, less exciting over time. A couple of looks at him in the morning before he's shaved and had a cup of coffee, and an evening with him in his t-shirt in the living room -- and it's over. Oh and don't even mention the fact that she doesn't feel as sexy as she did before the children were born.
