When no children are involved it's between you, your partner and if applicable your God.
You think it’s better for children to be raised within a toxic loveless marriage that they are forced to keep longer than either party wants than divorce?

Remove the word toxic and I'd be OK with that.

Now define toxic.

I've got lots more.
Well, I guess you’re right. Requiring a contract to marry would decrease divorce because instead of jumping through hoops to marry, people will just live together. That way divorces will go down. We’ll just call it breaking up instead.

Sometimes, yes. It often beats the alternative. Although nobody's talking force here. That's a bit hyperbolic.

LOL. I’m sure you mean for the men. The women should have to bake pies and fold clothes to “prove” their marriage potential.

We could also change common law.

Lots of ways, to make improvements. Point is .... I'm OK with easy divorce/separation as long as the front side is made to improve and support the commitment.

I certainly wouldn't say there are no repercussions to divorce, but am saying it is a right that everyone should have.

Nothing about a contract improves or supports the commitment. Only the behavior of the people involved does that.

Marriage works best between mature adults but our society sometimes seems to be lacking in those lately.
