I agree that while the perception is that Americans give up on marriage and turn to divorce rather easily the idea that they do not put their children first is misguided. I have not known anyone getting a divorce, no matter what the reason, who has not been concerned with how it will affect their children. Many couples stay married because they don't want to negatively affect the children and in turn they end up making changes in their relationship that keeps them from getting divorced.
There are very few things which I believe are justifiable reasons for divorce of which abuse and adultery would be the most significant. Unfortunately, I believe that most of the time the reason a marriage ends in divorce is because one or both of the people in the relationship have given up on trying to make it work. The excuse of irreconcilable differences is a cop out for people to get out of the relationship. Marriage is not always easy but no one ever said it would be. Nothing worthwhile is ever easy.
