    I think it's an interesting idea and therapy maybe can help some couples, but also why does it matter if people are getting divorced?

    In my home state (NC) you have to live separately for at least a year before filing for divorce, so instant divorce seems a bit crazy to me.

    Until recently Danes could divorce by filling out a simple online form. But under a package of legislation that came into force in April, couples determined to split must wait three months and undergo counselling before their marriage can be dissolved.
