Wacky Wednesday--Divorce is good

Note: Before reading the following arguments, please understand that they are not what I believe. On Wednesdays, I deliberately argue for wrong ideas, challenging my listeners to call and defend the obvious right answer, which is usually far harder than one would expect. This is a summary of what Wacky Andrew will be arguing, not a representation of what real Andrew believes.

~If your marriage isn’t making you happy, how can you say it’s a good thing to not leave?
~We have all sorts of different family structures now, and we seem to be doing okay with them.
~If someone doesn’t want to stay, how can it be loving to make them do so?
~Death is an awfully long way away for most people.
~If it’s okay for death to “do us part,” why not prior to that?
~Some spouses are awful: abusive, unfaithful, and just plain smelly.
~When you can’t leave, the other person has no incentive to work on the relationship.
~Even if divorce isn’t so great for the kids, maybe it’ll teach them to marry more wisely.
~Don’t kids deserve to see their parents happy apart rather than miserably together?
~There’s a reason we call some differences “irreconcilable.”
~Surely the nation’s lawyers can’t all be so wrong.
~Even Moses and Jesus seem to have made allowance for divorce in some cases.
~What if you’re sexually incompatible? Didn’t God build us to have pleasure?
~If you didn’t think divorce was good, you’d say that people who have slept together shouldn’t be allowed to break up either.
~Some people just aren’t fit for marriage, but you can’t tell until after they’re in it.
~If you split up, and it’s a mistake, you can always get back together again. But how will you know for sure unless you try it.
~If you love something, set it free. If it comes back, it’s yours. If it doesn’t , it never was.
~They must be good, otherwise how do you explain the money and difficulty people will go through in order to obtain them? Free market principles alone give a massive stamp of validation to the value of divorce.
~Aren’t you against involuntary monopolies? That’s what marriage is if you can’t end it.
