Are we going to repeal no-fault divorce, then?




  1. If women aren’t willing to demand the repeal of no-fault divorce laws and get serious about men and marriage……..
    IF? There is no way that women, including so called “Christian” women will vote to repeal that law!!!!
    The more women get elected to the senate and house, including the so called “Republican” women, the less chance of it coming about.
    Regardless of philosophy, the women will vote for the female imperative, before anything else!!!!!

  2. Repeal would be ideal, but short of that, if there could be legally binding prenuptial agreements where both parties forfeit their right to a no-fault divorce then that would help. I know that the Leftist courts would probably overturn them, but it would at least send a message.

    1. Send a message to whom???
      It would take an enormous amount of prenups, and the men would still be crushed by the “divorce corp” system. The only solution is to not get Married. No cohabitation either.
      Some sort of together but separate, MAY work out!!!
      You go out together,enjoy each other, go home to your separate abode!!!


    2. Joint custody would also help. So there is no way the initiating spouse can cut off the other spouse completely. I think it’s tempting to divorce when you can cut the other person off completely.


  3. No one twists women’s arms and tells them to take advantage of their every government-given advantage and ruin even good men’s lives. That’s entirely on women.

    Women will never part with those advantages either.

    Women are very fond of saying men “need to be better”, but it’s a two way street, and I don’t see many women attempting to be better themselves.

    It’s too late for me. I’ve seen firsthand what women are capable of and what they can get away with. There’s virtually no mechanism be it societal, legal or religious that holds them accountable for bad behavior as there is for men. I will never put myself in a position of weakness to them again. Neither will any man whose seen similar things. The divorce courts are full of men who didn’t think their precious wifeypoo could ever “do that.” Until they did.

    1. Yes. I don’t think there is enough awareness of why men marry in our society. Of what men are looking for from marriage. When I look at the response of parents, pastors, women, politicians to the way divorced men are treated with respect to alimony, child support and custody, I know that they don’t understand men or care for them. They want slaves. I’m not going to allow myself to be at the mercy of policemen, feminist lawyers, feminist judges, etc. They can rule over their cats. They won’t rule over me. And they won’t get attention or resources from me either, except what they steal from me in taxes, and that will be ending once I retire at 50.

      1. Amen to that. And, that’s what’s so infuriating: they couldn’t care less about men and their needs, let alone their wants. But they are the first to say “you men need to be better” and “man up and marry those single mothers.” No. Never. The Lord makes no such command, and a pulpit charlatan trying to win brown nose points with his female congregants while playing it fast and loose with the scriptures doesn’t count. While he’s busy kissing the backsides of the women he caters to, he can kiss mine too.

  4. The solution is simple. Men should stop marrying out of the preservation of self-interest, and with that, I’d like to see men stop sleeping with women they have no real interest in marrying. If MGTOW can convince men that marriage way too risky, then maybe someday the laws will change.

  5. Since “God hates divorce” (Malachi 2:16), it is a given that He doesn’t much care for those who initiate it either. (Cue the litany of excuses.)

    No fault divorce is another way our nation has turned its back on God, families, children especially, and men.

  6. While no-fault divorce has definitely played a role in the decline of marriage, it is a fact that a major cause of the decline is society turning its back on God and his principles, as sexual licence and cohabitation increasingly became a norm from the late 1960s onwards, Having been a teenager in the 1960s, I witnessed it happening and got caught up in it in my early 20s, until I caught a wake-up call that it was a path to destruction, even though it was some years before God worked in my life to save me, in his timing.
    God’s plan for marriage and family, along with godly principles and values, are the foundation of a stable society, with marriages and families being its building blocks. Sex outside of marriage used to be frowned upon (even though it did happen), but now that has been jettisoned. The concept of marriage as a covenant has also been lost – now it’s regarded as a contract that can be broken.
    The restoration of marriage and family won’t happen without much prayer, the Gospel of Jesus Christ being preached, and good discipleship for those who believe.
    That said, there are no guarantees – I have known Christian marriages where there is abuse, usually by a narcissistic spouse, who refuses to acknowledge his or her role in the breakdown of the marital relationship, and so they blame-shift. Narcissists are often the product of dysfunctional and abusive homes themselves, and tragically they don’t or won’t deal with their baggage.
    P.S. I gather that another hindrance to marriage in the USA is joint taxation. In “the bad old days”, girls got married, had a family and were full-time mothers and home-makers. Women’s lib had a lot to do with that (not that I’m against women working or having a career). However, juggling a job, marriage and family puts an additional strain on many marriages.

    1. This is so true. I lived through the 60’s and 70’s also, and the mantra “sex and drugs and rock and roll” really was the theme of those decades.

      Birth control really opened up the fornication and abortion covered up the infidelity, but both were commercial products of the extreme carnality of those decades.
