Marriage is not only about love but also commitment among other values. I believe people should have the right to commit themselves to legally binding relationships, consensual unions that force them to deal with problems as they arise rather than running away. That marriage is based on love or happiness alone and that one should quit if marriage ever becomes unloving or unhappy are two of the myths of modern society, myths believed with such zeal that the public would force everybody to accept no-fault divorce when marrying. Till death do us part or till one of us unilaterally hath a change of heart. The freedom to impose obligations on oneself is a freedom that is undervalued. My attempt to repeal the Right to a Lawful Divorce seeks to restore balance by brining back the right to commit oneself freely.
