He also explores the cultural and historical factors that have shaped attitudes towards marriage and divorce in the United States, and the ways in which these attitudes have changed over time.Overall, ""Marriage And Divorce In The United States: As They Are And As They Ought To Be"" is a thought-provoking and insightful analysis of a complex and controversial topic.
