Divorce

Official Audio Prompt

Too often in marriage, we make sacrifices, and we demand them, without reckoning their cost. But there is wisdom in looking at the price tags attached to our marital decisions in just the way that divorce law teaches us to do. What I want is for people to think about their marital bargains through the lens of divorce. And to ask, "How is marriage a sacrifice, but an exchange of sacrifice? How do we think about our exchange?" Second: "How do we think about childcare and deal with the fact that there is no such thing as free childcare?" "How do we deal with the fact that some things can be separate and if we don't think about it, then it will all be part of the joint enterprise." So basically, what I want to leave you with is that in marriage or divorce, people should think about the way that "till death do us part" marriage is forever.
