Quote: I have personal experience where the broken home is sometimes better than that same home being whole. I think marriage is take too lightly these days and people tend to opt out rather than fix whats broken and communicate their issues and compromise. That being said it is better to separate than constantly bicker and argue in front of the children. Sometimes differences can't be settled but this probably should have been given time to surface before procreation.
Absolutely. Staying together when you revile each other is a sure way to screw up your kids forever. A bit of irony, my three siblings are conservative republicans who like to espouse 'traditional family values' (which I've come to realize means 'what is best for affluent white people'). Between them they have had seven spouses. Me, I'm just a live and let live liberal guy. I've been married once and have stayed that way for 26 years.
Don't try and make it a political thing, both sides have values. Both sides make the same mistakes as far as this issue is concerned.
You might find it interesting to look at which states have the highest divorce rates.
