I'm remembering how "marriage is sacred don't give up" messaging actively prevented my mother from escaping her abusive husband. That messaging can be extremely dangerous and instead I wanna hear "marriage is amazing, keep at it, but sometimes it's not worth it"

The actual message should be an in between that's flexible enough for circumstance - "if marriage is awful, if your partner is a toxic pos, leave! But if they're a good person, then try to stick with it, especially if you have kids" is a message I support

Oh sure I'm not attached to that wording, I meant it targeted towards abuse but I'm down to be more specific.
