Then YOU are in the wrong line of work. Kids deal with a lot of "growing pains"...sorry you don't get to pick and choose which ones you are willing to deal with.
I am aware of that but if mom and dad worked on their marriage society would be better.
Not to mention that I sincerely doubt that the men who are contacting her on a dating site are spilling their guts and telling her they left their wives because they were bored. I had hundreds of responses when I did online dating and not one--not one--man ever so much as implied that. The dishonesty in that post is so transparently ridiculous and ridiculously transparent in its sanctimonious b.s. that it's actually pretty pathetic.
You're welcome! I've dated a lot of divorced guys too and I never met anyone who said their reason for divorce was boredom. Not even one.
I'd say, outside of arranged marriages, 99% of people getting married think they're in love, but the actual percentage who really love each other then is much lower. How many people do you think file for divorce when still feeling love?
Also, nobody here can say for sure that people who are dragged to therapy never start to like it and take it seriously. That is part of the logic of pushing for multiple sessions instead of only one visit. I figure in many cases when couples 'voluntarily' start going to joint counseling, 1 of them is rather reluctantly participating. It's not really going to hurt regardless (beyond the pain that inner work and conflict resolution can dredge up).
Several years ago, Pink and her husband were close to finalizing a divorce, and then they reconciled and (from what's been presented) have been doing well since. That goes to show that not every divorce is necessary. I'll have to look into whether they did couples counseling - my guess is yes, but I will presume that no judge or government ordered it.

Thank you. I could not envision these so-called "losers" bragging about what douchebags they are to someone they want to date. It is a lie, plain and simple. Doesn't the Church have something to say about that?

Yet another attempt at using celebrity gossip as the foundation for your perspective on the social ills of the world. Come on now. Do you know any real people who are married/divorced?

That's the thing, real people in this thread who are married/divorced are giving advice and it's being negated. Most people don't want more government intrusion into their personal lives, and most people also know that counseling only works if you are interested and willing to participate. It's not rocket science, but somehow our opinions don't count.
And how in the hell do you know they didn't work on their marriage for YEARS before they decided they couldn't stay together anymore???
Your opinion just lost ALL credibility with me.
^^^^This. I think it's a very very rare occurrence that someone just wakes up and decides to get divorced one day. The process leading up to a divorce is like erosion over time, not a dam bursting all of a sudden.
Pink hadn't been married very long before the temporary split. "During their long separation in 2008, the couple sought marriage counseling in hopes of reconciliation" (Pink on Marriage: “That’s What Relationships are For” | PEACE LOVE LUNGES). Examples of non-famous third parties would be meaningless to readers here. Of course I know private citizens who have been married (and in some cases divorced). People just want to attack my minor points because they dislike the basic idea. Too bad, because it looks like government will be phasing it in.
