To get a Divorce or Not to get a Divorce that is the question?

It seems like to today's trend in society is to get divorced. It seems that the decision to get divorced is as easy as deciding what cereal to eat. Now days it doesn't matter for what reason you want to get divorced because if you want to get divorced it shall be granted. In 1970s two states California and New York started the trend of no-fault divorce it's now practiced in all the states. The no-fault divorce is pretty much a law that no proof for divorce is necessary or needed. The reason why they started this law is because they wanted to remove some of the pain and embarrassment from the process of the divorce. This makes it easy for people to get divorce traditionally before the 1970s it was really difficult for anyone to get a divorce. The only reason that people got divorced in the past was because of adultery, chronic serious neglect,and several instances of abuse. Marriage was always viewed as a contract and a covenant. The no-fault divorce has made divorce too easy. In my Family relations I really like what my professor said that marriage is the only contract that can be broken without any real excuse. You can't break any contract in society without getting a penalty and the majority of the time the contract cant' be broken but for marriage it doesn't matter. The most important contract or covenant we make is the easiest one to break. All divorce is caused by selfishness! I think that we need to be more forgiving and less prideful. This is hard to do because sometimes the people we love the most can hurt us the most because we have opened our hearts but we need to fight for our families and to keep the covenant of marriage. So again to get a divorce or not to get a divorce is really not a question! Don't let the no-fault divorce ensnare you into thinking that marriage is not a contract or a sacred covenant.
