When the getting gets rough, does your faith help you with staying together, not cheating, more understanding, more compassion, or you just going and doing the same way if you were not a Christian. In other words, does it really matter to have that for your children and spouse?
I think it does, how about you? Any stories to tell about that>

I definitely thinks it makes the bond even deeper. When my wife & I pray together it is a closeness that I really can't explain. We also enjoy doing Bible reading together then we discuss what we read. It's awesome and gives you a sense of closeness that I've never had in my life before.

A strong and healthy spirituality is something that a couple can share and use in their lives for so much. Having the same core beliefs adds strength to the foundation of any relationship. When all is well marriage is a breeze, but life throws curve balls at all of us and it is at these times that we find out what we believe in and what gives us strength. I know that being able to talk openly about God with my wife helps us to stay the course on so many levels. You might not always understand life's challenges but I could not imagine sharing my life with someone who did not truly believe that everything happens for a reason and if we continue to do what we believe is right things will work out and at some point we will understand each and every step of the journey that we share together.

I know for a hundred and ten percent fact that if God wasn't the number one thing in our marriage, we would have no marriage. We went through a lot of hard years trying to make the marriage work on our own. Once we finally got our hearts and minds right with God, our marriage changed completely. Let me tell you, God CAN change a boring, luke-warm marriage into something so incredible that words don't describe it.
A lot of people claim to be "Christian" but deep down, they are just going through the motions. A person has to take responsibility for their own lives and emotions and have a personal, one on one relationship with Jesus before they can exprerience a truly amazing marriage.

If the two of you are committed to living your lives according to the dictates of the Bible, you are on the right track. Marriage can be challenging whether you are a Christian or not, but if you love one another you will overcome all obstacles that try to hinder your peace. Stay close to one another and stay close to God and your marriage will be a loving and permanent legacy to leave your children and the generations to come. Hold on and keep looking up!

Nationwide studies have shown that there is NO DIFFERENCE in marriage situations and/or divorce rates when related to religion; however, these studies DID show that the more conservative the state --- especially the South and the Midwest, for example --- the higher the divorce rate.

no i do not think so my husband and i have been together almost 10 years and we have had our problems.......i think being able to talk to the other peson, lettting go of the little things instead of fight over them and really loving that person are more important than faith and the christian way. we are not christians.

i think being a christain helps but we all fall short and sin so i think christaians have a better chance than non christians.
