Oh my God - are you serious?
It's not that the counseling was better - the sanctions were worse! (both applied by society and family, not to mention the law)
Divorce should probably be even more common than it is right now - people shouldn't stay in unhappy marriages. In the past, they did. It's not rocket science.
ETA: EE-BO's point on choice is spot-on
