Divorce Rate: Christian Marriages vs. Secular Marriages


I've known for a while that Christians divorce at an identical rate to secular couples. Honestly, it's sad because Christians are to be examples of how to have lasting marriages. When I read this article, one thing stuck out to me: Some Christian couples have forgotten how to love unconditionally. When you love unconditionally, you're able to overlook your partner's flaws & vice versa. Granted, some issues you can't let ride: Adultery & abuse of any kind (physical, verbal, emotional, sexual, etc.), but if the matters are small enough to be resolved, why not fix them? Something else that stuck out to me was how Christians are no different than the rest of the world, meaning they have guidelines of what they will (not) deal with in marriage, and by right they should. Of the Christian marriages that have weathered life's storms, God was at the center of their marriage. Couples prayed and spent time in the Word together. How many divorced Christian couples can say that? I'll wait.
