This seems like the right board for it, as it's philosophical in question and verging on religious so I wanted to talk about this a bit. I have a family member going through a divorce and it's the first one in our family. The divorce seems like it it could be considered "warranted" by modern societal standards, but viewing it as a covenant, there literally are no acceptable standards.
Without getting too deeply religious, from a practical side, I don't understand how people with children can get divorced. This is largely anecdotal, but I have met so many people who are now adults, well into their 40's and 50's who still have major issues and hold ups over their parents divorce when they were young.
My own situation, I know that my family member would "die for their children" but they won't die to self and humble themselves enough to save their children a largely increased risk of adverse impact?
To liken this to abortion, I don't know how I could handle having parents who are pro-abortion. I would always think "yes you didn't abort me, but it seems to me that you admit there are certain conditions that exist where you would have rather aborted me in utero given your support for just that"
The same with divorce, as a child, how do you know that your parents will love you forever, when they've promised the same thing to their spouse, and broke that promise?
