However, the pendulum has swung way too far in the other direction, where it's very acceptable and not even really taboo anymore to break vows and split up families simply because one person isn't happy for awhile and wants to seek out the possibilities of greener pastures, regardless of their commitments to their spouse and kids. Under these circumstances it certainly seems like the institution has lost meaning and may not last.
This is a great point. I know my opinion on this is not going to be popular, but I've often said marriages are too easy to get into, and too difficult to get out of. People now view marriage as binding as they used to view dating. Lots of reasons for that in my opinion. The acceptance of living together before marriage, quickie divorces (when kids aren't involved), etc. I usually do not bring this up much because I get accused of thrusting my values on others, but you are right BL. Society has made it acceptable to take vows for life, and then decide later you didn't really mean it.
