        Sounds like religious hooey and shouldn’t be anywhere near our legal institutions

        Sounds like you need the government to keep women from leaving you…

        Just what that sounds like, just saying

            I feel bad for whoever that is. A person that demands devotion rarely deserves it.

            I don’t know why you people keep engaging these morons, it’s clear that he is a troll, a conservative, or the standard combination of the 3.

            How confident are you that she wouldn’t have left you in those 20 years if you weren’t married? If your confidence is high, then why do you think marriage needs to be hard to dissolve? If it’s low, I think my point is pretty clear in that case.

        People view relationships as too disposable, therefore the government should lock them into relationships that aren’t working, for any reason from drifting apart to not being able to demonstrate the legal standard for physical abuse. Got it, sounds totally reasonable and not at all like you’re a fucking lunatic.

        The problem is when Daddy is beating Mommy and the court doesn’t believe her because she’s suffering from “hysteria”.

        So, then why don’t you just not get divorced and let other people do whatever they want?

        What you got against the extended family? If you’re trying to be truly Biblical, you should have your parents and grandparents and adult children and your grandkids all living together!

        It is sacrosanct. As are other relationships built on love and/or respect. If there’s no longer love or respect there, it’s just cruel and dumb to force the people to stay together just bc they once had different feelings.

        Would you like to be held to a contract for the rest of your life that you signed when you were 25?
