When no-fault divorce was legalized in the 70′s, the states that legalized it saw a decrease of 8 to 16 percent in married women committing suicide and a 30 percent decline in domestic violence.

(from @aisandetsarepeopletoo)

this is why worshipping the so-called “traditional family” is a load of fucking bullshit

I think a lot of people really don’t realize that the current divorce rate has nothing to do with degrading morals and is literally just that it’s both legal and more socially acceptable now than it used to be. The issues leading to divorce have always been there.
