Marriage, Family, and No-Fault Divorce
Marriage is important. Family is important. Many of us accept this as a matter of principle, believing that God chose this and built it into His creation. Believe it for that reason or not, however, we can accept this for practical and experiential reasons, seeing the impact of marriage and family—and the breakup of marriage and family—on our society.
Law affects marriage and family significantly. I could write more on this, but instead I wish to direct your attention to something written by Leah Ward Sears, recently Chief Justice of the Georgia Supreme Court. Through both personal and legal experience, she has seen the effect of no-fault divorce laws on marriage and family. Her article, Let's End Disposable Marriage, is worth your time. I hope that you will take a few minutes to read it.
