How does the normalization of divorce harm society?
From the inspiration of marriage problems after a return from deployment, I got my essential question: how does the normalization of divorce harm society?
This question lead me to my source, an article by Nadine Marks. The article analyzes and overviews three books on this subject.

“... the right of the individual to “pursue happiness” and the right to end undesireable or problematic “social contracts”—has been readily applied to the “contract” of marriage.
Marks summarizes his three subjects in a concise way. The first book speaks to the rise of divorce rates and the change of divorce laws, reviewing the affect on society. A notable quote from this section of the article says, “... the right of the individual to “pursue happiness” and the right to end undesireable or problematic “social contracts”—has been readily applied to the “contract” of marriage.

“A societal cycle of divorce”
The second article answers my question better, stating that victims of divorce have symptoms of loss and distress, which can paint divorce as a crisis or life event. Divorce is also affected by the factor of having divorced parents, which can indicate a societal cycle of divorce.
