I recently learned that U.S. divorce laws back in the day only allowed for divorce if a partner was abusive or unfaithful. The universal checkbox of irreconcilable differences was not an option. While divorces tend to take place at the low-end of a marriage, if obtaining a divorce was harder, would this help some unhappy marriages to have the time to turn around before ending prematurely?

Illegal to get divorced because of reconcilable differences? That's easy: Get a hooker or punch your wife.
A law is not going to fix it.
Good point. But, for those couples who contemplate divorce and are not pyschotic enough to hit their spouse or have sex with a stranger, could this perhaps cause them to look towards reconciliation?
