"they" wanted to make it easier and easier for marriages to break down, for couples to separate and split, and families to be fractured, all under the name of 'individual rights'. But all this did was make it easier for people to not be responsible for their commitments (marriage) and to constantly reduce the accountability.

But all this does is destroy the rights of children, who have a right to two parents working together to make things work.

I'm not talking about seriously problematic marriages, where one or two of the adults involved are chronically failing in their responsibility. Separation is sometimes necessary. But the Marxists and their sympathizers constantly drove the machine of govt and law in a way that is destructive and hostile to people actually establishing long-lasting marriages and the family environment that healthy, normal human beings benefit most from.

Govt must serve the People, not abuse them. And laws that governments make MUST uphold the well-being of the People, and should therefore promote healthy and responsible families, not make it easier for them to collapse and one or two of the spouses involved to bail ship.

Too many laws of the past 100 years have been destructive to families, where they should be uplifting and reinforcing families.
