Divorce and Remarriage

Closely related and running neck-and-neck with the "Sexual Freedom" that has helped wreck our culture, society and way of thinking, is the subject of divorce and remarriage. Divorce became a problem in the late fifties, grew in the sixties and seventies, and now has passed the point of concern. Nobody really cares about the subject much any more.
