Meanwhile, where God is at the center of a marriage, and the goal is to grow in being Christlike, and more selfless, more giving, more loving, marriages are thriving.
In contrast to the “Me! Me! Me!” marriages of the unbelieving, these marriages even get better every year - in every way. Yes, even in the sex. Why should it too not get better as a couple that love God and one another grow in knowing one another and understanding one another?
Where “May He increase, may I decrease...” is a way of life, marriage is not perfect, but is on a non-stop path toward becoming perfect. The perfect will never be attained of course, until we see His face. But we are on the path.
God is good.
In the universe of nominal Christians the divorce rate is 47%, a statistically insignificant 3% below national average.
Amongst devout, regularly practicing Christians the divorce rate is somewhere around 26%.....significantly lower but still shockingly high.
