True. I truly admire the devotion to commitment to marriage demonstrated by the "greatest generation". I've seen it firsthand many times in my own family. That's just not there to as great an extent in subsequent generations. So which came first: the decline in commitment to marriage or Uncle Sam stepping in and taking up the slack which wasn't being provided by the marriage partners?
IIRC, the decline in commitment by people. In the 1950’s divorce was an anathema but became accepted and by the 60’s you had the agitation for no fault divorces.
So while many folks stayed married thru it all, others became convinced divorce was no big deal.
Its kind of hard to defend an institution which has such a large failure rate.
The SCOTUS was just plain wrong. [Twice in one week no less...must be some sort of record. /sarc]
