Instead my point is that the culture has through No Fault Divorce and the trivialization of marriage via the mass media has established a institution of marriage that has little resemblance of its original intention.
My opinion regarding "No Fault Divorce" is that it has little resemblance of its original intention. It was originally intended as a method to foster less marital breakups by removing confrontational aspects from the legal process. The legal proceedings were intended to be supplemented with counseling etcetera directed at mending and reconciling efforts to be employed prior to terminating the 'contract'.
Now the picture is much different from that which the 'people' intended AND the same culprit is to blame -the legal system and specifically the judiciary.
There is a divorce industry -big money for the legal vultures and government social service entities that participate.
I suspect that our society has seen the heyday of "No Fault Divorce" already pass by and that we will move back towards what was intended rather than what evolved surreptitiously... Legislation e.g. covenant marriages etcetera is already coming forward and as is typical being opposed by the same crowd that loves abortion and homosexual "marriage"...
Do some research on the original intent of no-fault divorce and I am sure you will be surprised by the difference between what was intended and what is really happening...

Well, then ... FIX THAT PROBLEM instead of creating worse ones with gay marriage.
Phew, it's pretty nutty to think gay marriage will solve our no-fault divorce problems.
