I disagree with the fundamental premise of this post.
90% of restaurants fail w/in the first year. Does that mean starting a restaurant is a bad idea? What about creating a startup?
People should think about the consequences of the commitments they make. But even then, things happen in the lives of two people that can drive a wedge between them. The fact that, in such an event, they are allowed to get divorced, rather than forcing them to remain in a loveless, or abusive, or otherwise dysfunctional marriage is not a bad thing.
The whole "THINK OF THE CHILDREN" of broken homes issue is a more complicated matter. How about we start teaching teenagers that having kids is a huge responsibility and that it's really important to use birth control and condoms to keep from getting pregnant?
Or, i suppose, we could just force all the people involved in teen pregnancies to get married. yeah. i'm sure that'd work better.
