No fault divorce is much cheaper. This cynic thinks that it was a step towards gays gaming marriage. Gays treat marriage more like going steady. Could you imagine divorce proceedings for a gay couple without a no fault option? Imagine the sordid details in the case. Even liberal judges don't want to hear that stuff.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329600504016968888.post-16465932718008411472014-01-28T11:06:17.614-06:002014-01-28T11:06:17.614-06:00@ Anonymous: Insightful words.

A husband sacrificing himself for his wife and children. A wife sacrificing herself for her husband and her children. <br />We have done our level best to cut that tree down and root marriage in sex and self gratification. It has yielded a different fruit. Marriage has suffered. Children have suffered. Society has suffered. <br />The irony to me is that we want the fruit of the first tree, rooted in self sacrifice from the second tree, rooted in self. I saw an article where counseling is now mandated for individuals who have had multiple marriages and divorces. Tend to doubt it will work. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
