The root of the problem is no-fault divorce, isn't it?

You guys keep saying that, and I keep repeating, "Divorce is a symptom, not the problem.". The problem is that married couples are seeking divorce, not that divorce is available. You'd just have a slightly different problem if these couples were seeking divorces, and they weren't available. The goal should be to reduce the number of unhappy marriages, not to bar the exit.

DINGDINGDINGDING! We have a winner. Now comes the easy part... how do you make people satisfied with what they've got?

"Divorce is a symptom, not the problem."

Largely true. But no-fault divorce makes divorce much easier, and often "profitable" for the wife.
