For people like Morgan, however, no-fault divorce has stripped him of what he views as a constitutional right to protest the dissolution.

He told Chron his views were shaped by watching his father go through a divorce and later experiencing divorce himself, one he did not want.

"When we utter our vows, many people say, 'Till death do you part.'....My vows are more important than anything… I made this vow to God, and my wife was the beneficiary of my vow," Morgan argued.

  1. Let's get his ex-wife's side of the story. I'm going to guess with 99% accuracy that Morgan is a huge asshole.

  2. I don't think marriage should be "till death". I believe that leads to people being complacent. It also leads to messy divorces.

Marriages, like most other contracts, should have a set duration with the option to renew if mutually agreed. Suddenly people need to care if they want the renewal. Divorce becomes much more predictable. Couples who aren't so sure can sign up for one year and see how it goes. Term duration could help guide life decisions - they say they want kids but won't sign up for the Maximum (20 year) duration? What's that all about?

This isn't just negatives, either. There's a huge upside in the celebration space. Long term marriages become moderately more impressive. Everyone cheers.

  1. Now, let's talk polygamy...
