Largely true. But no-fault divorce makes divorce much easier

Absolutely true. I'm just not convinced that making divorce more difficult will fix marriage. As a matter of fact, I'm convinced that it wouldn't.

The no-fault divorce and matriachal court system is what destroyed marriage. Simply follow the money. The courts favor the woman financially in 90% of the cases, which is why women file two thirds of the time, with an avg time 3 years. All she has to say "we're not compatible" and the courts arrange the seizure of 1/2 a man's assets, retirement, and a healthy forward income. Divorce to many women is winning the lottery. Women would never sign a marriage document if the man faced no financial consequences and she faced fifty percent seizure.

Solution: no transfer of assets unless the marriage lasts say 7-10 years. The estate you create you get back proportionately what you earned, if the woman doesn't work you arrange the payout in a non-negotiable pre-nup.

Remove the money, and marriage AND divorce rates would plunge fifty per cent easy.

Women love to turn a blind eye, but they've now burned too many men, and yet still complain they can't "marry well", i.e., find a wealthy man for a potential payday. Ask any random guy and he can tell half a dozen horror divorce stories about predatory females. It's no surprise marriage rates have dropped drastically, men have caught onto the charade, and "the catches" chose to either stay single and date early 20's girls who aren't damaged goods yet, or marry overseas. Not to worry, there's still plenty of suckers out there pushing a broom.

Would you share your reasoning for that conviction?
