Ok, so why then are the atheists busting my chops for suggesting that increasing divorce rates are bad? You can't have it both ways. Either it's a good thing ("higher calibre ethics") to avoid divorce or it's great that it's happening so much more nowadays. You can't have both.
Or divorce isn't a moral issue at all. It is practical, as is marriage. From a Christian perspective, marriage and morality are so intertwined that it is hard to think in other terms. Within many cultures, marriage is simply economic or mostly economic. It is functional, not magical. Even in the West, within Judaism and Christianity and despite the moralistic rhetoric, marriage has until recently had a strong element of finance to it. Consider the practice of arranged marriage.
BTW, I wish guys like Ron would just shut up.
