Miseryloveseldrs, your topic yesterday (marry only in the Lord)
made me think.
We have heard the saying, A family that pray togather stay
togather, I believe in Psalms or Proverbs we are told, marry
A woman 10yrs plus 7yrs younger, something like that. There are all
kinds of counsel for A successful marriage within the Christians
community. Hey folks it coming from God.
Well lets take A look.
Statistics taken from Religions Tolerance, U.S. divorce rates
for various faith groups.
Barna's results verified finding of earlier poll. That conservative
Protestant Christians, on average have the highest divorce rate,
while mainline Christians have A much lower rate.. Now check this
out, they found some new information as well; that Atheist and
Agnostics have A much lower rate of all, humm, how is that possible?
Donald Hughes, author of the" Divorce Reality" said, "In the churches
people have A superstitious view that Christianty will keep them
from divorce, but they are sudject to the same problems as
everyone else, and that include A lack of relationship skills...
Just being born again is not A rabbit foot. Hughes claim that
90% of divorces among born-again couples occur after
they have been saved.
Non-denominational 34%--Baptists 29%---Mainline Protestant 25%
Mormons 24%---Catholic 21%--Lutherain 21% ---JW,s ??????
Whats the conclusion, no one even God have A clue , why some
marriage work and others do not.
