Have you seen the latest news on marriage in the United States?
First of all, divorce stats are almost right at 1 in 2. Virtually a 50% failure rate.
Today, this hit the news: http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/nationworld/2003305384_married15.html
"Married couples, whose numbers have been declining for decades as a proportion of American households, have finally slipped into a minority, according to an analysis of new census figures by The New York Times. The American Community Survey, released this month by the Census Bureau, found that 49.7 percent, or 55.2 million, of the nation's 111.1 million households in 2005 were made up of married couples — with and without children — just shy of a majority and down from more than 52 percent five years earlier."
Christians can't even blame this on gays anymore, their big justification for blocking gay marriage. Is this waning institution really the backbone of America? Who can they blame this "marital decay" on now?
