    Exactly, it’s way better to have parents stay together in stable, forced marital bondage and hate each other more and more every day like god intended.

    Sure, dad cheats on mom, sometimes even beats her, and mom is secretly a depressive alcoholic, but separation would be superduper bad for the child!

        They don’t marry people they hate, they just grow apart and since marriage forces them to stay together, they’re essentially trapped with a person they don’t want to be in a relationship with anymore.

        A normal couple would simply break up, but divorce is much harder.

        A lot of the time because they get pregnant and it’s not socially acceptable where they live to have a kid by someone you’re not married to.
