Superstition of Divorce

by Gilbert K. Chesterton

In 'Superstition of Divorce,' G.K. Chesterton delves into the societal and moral implications of divorce, arguing against its increasing acceptance in the early 20th century. With his signature wit and logical reasoning, Chesterton defends the institution of marriage as a cornerstone of society, highlighting the potential consequences of its erosion. He examines the changing attitudes towards divorce, the legal and societal pressures surrounding it, and the impact on individuals and families. Chesterton's analysis is grounded in his Christian beliefs and his understanding of traditional values, offering a thought-provoking perspective on the evolving social landscape.
