According to enrichment journal on the divorce rate in America:
The divorce rate in America for first marriage is 41%
The divorce rate in America for second marriage is 60%
The divorce rate in America for third marriage is 73%
41+60+73=174...174/3= 58..
I stand corrected...58% on average
Thanks cricket

The modern way is the "cafeteria approach" to religion. You take what you like and you ignore the rest dear.

Divorce is a big problem for Christians. There is more than one place in the bible that refers to divorce. One of the passages says that you shall not divorce except for adultery. Many marriages fail because of emotional immaturity. The parties do not understand what it means to have a life long commitment. They also do not understand the meaning of fidelity. That also means sexual integrity. They also do not seem to know that marriage and sex is about children. Many couples have a problem with their own ego. They become angry. It degenerates into verbal and physical abuse. In these cases, often the woman engages in the verbal abuse and the man is guilty of physical abuse.

yeah, ur right, it doesn't make any sense.
But i guess then that they've made up there own commandments and said that being with someone u no longer love is a sin.
Who knows, I don't believe in sins and all that stuff so i couldn't tell u how they feel about it.
Nice pic by the way

You are correct.
Peoples actions show that they are not truly following the rules and guidelines that God has set for Christians to follow.
Instead they show that they are following the spirit of the world.
The world which is being run by Satan.
God hates divorce but makes certain provisions to depart from a person that by their actions prove that they do not want to live by Gods standard on marriage.

You don't have to believe in everything in the Bible. You best believe in yourself first and trust in the almighty unseen in your day until at night in your dream.

Your statistics are incorrect.
Look at this:

Besides, most of those in the US who profess to be Christians only do so because they hold Christian beliefs.
Anyway, what's your question?
