- My parents' divorce was good for me, too, much better than constant
- fighting in the home. But I would go even farther to argue that the
- divorce rate on the whole could be a good sign. Why? It seems that
- society is re-evaluating marriage. People are ending unhappy and
- unfulfilling relationships. They aren't staying together for all the wrong
- reasons. People who are getting married are hopefully looking more closely
- at their reasons for marriage--society no longer expects marriage when a
- female is pregnant. Now I'm not saying that teenage pregnancies are
- desireable, or that I believe children should be raised in one-parent
- homes, but I think society is in a transitional stage. Maybe we're all
- learning something from it.
