They don't. There are many families I've seen doing just fine that way, in my career and personal life.
but the piece of paper doesn't really deter members from "breaking up the unit"divorce is often costly. the money spent towards lawyers and such would benefit the family more than anything.
and what penalties should women suffer for wanting to end their marriage, since they are usually the ones initiating divorce.
Right and you know that is not getting fixed anytime soon, there is a disconnect between men and women in general these days. So what should we do. For all the complaining we do about fatherless black kids there are a lot of white kids in mixed families right now and that in my opinion is just as bad.Learn what idealized means
And American culture/community is at a low.
"Outliers"
LOOOL somehow you've found a way to turn this topic back on to it somehow being 'women's fault'
can u have one debate where it doesn't follow the usually 'women do this, women do that'![]()
"The penalties for divorce are not enough as is."
do you read? And lets not turn this into a man vs woman thread. Divorce trend change radically every decade.
And the piece of paper was pretty effective for 99% of human history, it just needs to be updates for the modern age

you stay teaching me something newi heard you, i want to know what harsher penalties should be in place.
we've been dealing with divorce courts, alimony, child support, spousal support, and asset splits for 99% of human historyyou stay teaching me something new

fukk outta nikka, these are facts. 70% of divorces are initiated by the woman. which is ironic because i'm willing to bet at least 70% of the women started that marriage talk first. so i want to know what punishment the main perpetrators of divorce should receive, if @Poitier had his way.
what does that have to do with anything 

every time your shytty shallow arguments get probed, you resort to trollingDeath![]()
shoulda known not to botherThey're an anomaly. The institution of marriage will always do the 'black community' better than the opposite.
That's fine that you prefer stability, but that statistic you just quote and the 50 percent divorce rate show marriage does not guarantee stability.And why do these 70% of women initiate these divorces ?
There lies your answer. Or do you follow the coli logic that 70% of women divorce their husbands because they are 'bored'. Get real.
The angle you're trying to take this debate into has NOTHING to do with the OP. The OP is about the fact that black people should encourage a marital nuclear unit in order to strengthen the black community.
We should have more husbands and wives, we should have more kids growing up with that as an example. This is common sense. Now you're talking about divorce and what punishment women should get
what does that have to do with anything
we are really gonna start discussing 'women's punishment'
and answer the question as to why they are initiating divorce. Also, that's the statistic for ALL races. Pretty sure this convo is black specific.
