No argument. I was stressing the 'stable' family unit; a family unit where Mum & Dad detest each other is not stable, IMO. Far from it.<BR/><BR/>I was pointing toward the couples with kids who break up because one doesn't like the way the other makes the toast.<BR/><BR/>I remember a young woman in California telling me that she and her boyfriend were getting married .. from memory they were seniors in High School .. 'and if it doesn't work out we'll just get divorced'. (Much like removing your earrings if your lobes get infected, eh!)<BR/><BR/>She couldn't wait to start a family, and I asked how she could be so cavalier about the impact upon any kids if she could be so flippant about the possibility of leaving Dad. <BR/><BR/>She looked at me as if I had two heads. Which I probably did.<BR/><BR/>Oy vey.<BR/><BR/>An interesting aside:<BR/><BR/>General Western stats on divorce, from a US psychologist specialising in relationship counselling (who's name escapes me right now):<BR/><BR/>Approx:<BR/>50% of first-time marriages<BR/>60% of second-time marriages<BR/>75% of third-time+ marriages<BR/><BR/>Now ~there's~ a topic for discussion!

The big mistake of conservatives and some socialists is thinking that always keeping families together is preferable - usually it is, sometimes it is not.

Not just here, but in the US. Take this from World Net:<BR/><BR/><I>Liberals often pretend that divorce is a minor surgical procedure. It is not. Abortion of marriage is often a very serious and messy procedure. When one is faced with complete loss of life savings and children in the combative and expensive divorce system, serious conflict can be easily predicted.<BR/><BR/>If we would not stop forest fires by dumping gasoline on them, we must not pretend we can reduce violence by destroying families as a matter of presumed public policy.</I><BR/><BR/>So divorce is 'abortion of marriage' now.
