So, you won't see a lot of advocacy for divorce though there is the clear recognition that it happens.


Likewise, I wouldn't expect to see a lot of advocacy for open marriages on this website. But why imply that divorce is the only alternative? In fact, some people remain married merely for financial, etc. reasons. The discussion here seems to imply that love, sex, and marriage are all words for the same thing. Clearly they are not.
