Divorce Corp: Film Review - Hollywood Reporter

That would seem weird, being a lot of the US folk are Christian. It's pretty obvious in the Bible that God hates divorce. In fact, there's not very many reasons you can even get one.

......scarily convincing examination of the American family court system that generates some $50 billion a year. This is not surprising, considering that we’re also informed that the average divorce in the U.S. costs $50,000 and that 50 percent of marriages end in divorce.

Weird.

(Malachi 2:16) because “What God has joined together, let man not separate . . . I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for marital unfaithfulness, and marries another woman commits adultery” (Matthew 19:6, 9). Jesus said that, “Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery against her. And if she divorces her husband and marries another man, she commits adultery” (Mark 10:11-12).

Looks like people aren't reading their Bibles or taking God/marriage vows seriously.

Oh the bible is like a bowl of mixed nuts, many just pick the ones they like and ignore the rest.

Divorce is a sin. So people who get divorced should be banned from getting married again. Also people who lie, since that is a sin, should never be allowed to have a civil marriage. In fact anyone who has ever sinned should be barred from marriage.

Except that gay marriage doesn't exist in the bible belt. Oh wait, the divorce rate is highest in the bible belt.

Wow that is a lot of hate in two sentences. You sir are definitely trying to get into heaven by spreading gods hatred ain't ya. Of course your hands can remain clean, as your can take the cop out of blaming god for your hate, you are just the messenger, right?

Plan to Cut Marriage and Divorce Questions Has Academics Up in Arms - San Antonio Express-News

If the Census Bureau proceeds with a recently released plan, then in a few years’ time, we will know very little about how the contours of family life are changing.
We will not even know whether marriage and divorce rates are rising or falling. For all the talk of evidence-based policy, the result will be that important debates on issues including family law, welfare reform, same-sex marriage and the rise of nontraditional families will proceed in a statistical void.
