For people like Morgan, however, no-fault divorce has stripped him of what he views as a constitutional right to protest the dissolution.

He told Chron his views were shaped by watching his father go through a divorce and later experiencing divorce himself, one he did not want.

“When we utter our vows, many people say, ‘Till death do you part.’…My vows are more important than anything… I made this vow to God, and my wife was the beneficiary of my vow,” Morgan argued.

    When one party wants to terminate the relationship and the other disallows that from happening, that is by definition an abusive relationship. There’s no such thing as a non-abusive relationship with someone who doesn’t want to be in that relationship in the first place.

      But they TOOK a VOW…to DEATH in front of a male (better have been a male) preacher…

      I’m also 100% sure any asshole making this argument hasn’t actually done anything to preserve a relationship with their partner.

        You can’t just say “that isn’t what I said” and then delete what you said, lol
