- They believed that their main focus was on saving money not saving the traditional family
- Feminists believe that the rise in divorce rates can be beneficial to women as it means they can escape the abuse men
- Rapoports 1989
- He believed that family diversity was a good thing as it gives people greater freedom and allows people to find a family type that suits them
