Marriage is sometimes awful! I sometimes think people who are elevating marriage have never known a really terrible person who used "marriage is good, divorce bad" cultural messaging to trap someone into a hellscape of a marriage. Marriage is not sacred! If it's bad, leave!!

This is a very juvenile take. Marriage can be difficult and it is also very difficult to part the ties with family, friends, and perhaps kids. There is also a lot to be learned by sticking through the worst of it

I'm speaking from the experience of watching my mother return to her abusive husband because a pastor talked about the sanctity of marriage. If marriage keeps you trapped then absolutely fuck it. I'm sure it works out for a lot of people but absolutist messaging is dangerous.
