This is an interesting topic and one whose answer has certianly changed through the years. I bet we'd get differing opinions from every generation.

The younger kids see divorce as an option, but our parents didn't think that way.

I don't know the answer, but I think it has a lot to do with feeling respected and valued as a woman.
