I don't disagree with everything you've just posted. The divorce rate is higher among Christians. Why? I don't know, but we'll have to agree to disagree, because I still think a couple should work through the tribulations, and through Christ it can be done. I can't speak for the Christians who get a divorce, but I know a lot that stay married.
Divorce rate is higher among evangelical Protestants. Catholics and Lutherans (who are still Christian!) have the lowest divorce rates of everyone. Don't throw all your Christians in one basket.

I really think this problem could be fixed if people would stop getting married just to have sex or because the girl is knocked up, but that would probably require some pastors to acknowledge that people still do it even after signing that True Love Waits card.

This is a good topic. I think the bottom line is if you aren't willing to sacrifice, then don't get married. Period.

I can't agree more. Of course there is more to it than that.

My parents have been married for 44 years. When my brother got married my dad just told him that if he's not willing to sacrifice, don't get married. That't who I got that from.
