Driving Home the Faith 2026.10.30

How does the "divorce ideology" undermine the permanence of marriage, and who suffers most when no-fault divorce laws are enforced? On Driving Home the Faith, host Dr. Ken Craycraft welcomes back Dr. Jennifer Roback-Morse, economist and founder of the Ruth Institute, to continue their discussion on her book, The Sexual State: How Elite Ideologies Are Destroying Lives.

Craycraft and Morse analyze the principal victims of no-fault divorce: children and abandoned spouses. Morse refutes the myth that "kids are resilient," citing overwhelming social science research (such as data from the Institute for Family Studies and sociologist Mark Regnerus) demonstrating the long-term harms of parental separation.

Morse also highlights the second major class of victims—spouses who want to save their marriages but are forced into unwanted divorces. Pointing out that over 70% of divorces are unilateral rather than mutually agreed upon, Morse critiques how family courts automatically side with the party who wants the marriage the least. Craycraft and Morse illustrate how this dynamic turns marriage into a contract with no legal protections for the non-breaching party, forcing state agencies to intrude heavily into domestic life, asset division, and child custody.

Victims of No-Fault Divorce: Dr. Jennifer Roback Morse on Children, Abandoned Spouses, and State Intrusion Part 2

What is the essential public purpose of marriage, and how has the breakdown of the natural family structure impacted society, children, and the law? On Driving Home the Faith, host Dr. Ken Craycraft welcomes back economist and founder of the Ruth Institute, Dr. Jennifer Roback-Morse, for an in-depth conversation on her book, The Sexual State: How Elite Ideologies Are Destroying Lives.

Craycraft draws on his background in domestic relations law to describe the tragedy of family court systems where "nobody wins," setting the stage for Morse's analysis of the "divorce ideology." Morse breaks down the foundational question behind natural marriage, defining its essential public purpose: attaching mothers and fathers to their children and to each other in a permanent, stable union.

Responding to common objections regarding childless or infertile couples, Morse emphasizes that while not every marriage produces children, every child has a mother and a father who need to be connected. She critiques modern adult-centric views of marriage, arguing that true marital institutions channel sexual energy constructively, safeguard childhood dependency, and protect the most vulnerable casualties of family dissolution—the children.
