“Churches should hesitate or even refuse to marry a couple unless they show an understanding and acceptance of the Christian values of matrimony.”

Agree whole heartedly! Divorce is common because marriage is so easy to fall in to. We must emphaisze the permanence of marriage and encourage people to take their time in choosing a person they choose to join for life in the eyes of God.

When the founder of Chic-fil-a spoke out against homosexual marriage we all cheered, but few remember in that same comment, he also spoke out against divorce. We have to return to ALL of our traditions, that includes the premise that marriage is sacred and divorce is wrong.

Agreed. If it hadn't been for no-fault divorce and the waves of divorce among heteros, gay marriage would not have gained a foothold.

Best news, however, is that divorce rates have been in a slow and steady decline. This is one of society’s problems that we may be able to do something about. So many have been adversely effected by divorce that there is little support for it.

It's just that the rates of cohabitation have gone up. Fewer marriages has equalled fewer divorces, but now up to 40% of children are born out of wedlock. Tragic.

That's why women are so nosy and controlling. They are supposed to use those skills to control their OWN children until the kids are 18 years old.

I liked her dress as well. A little low in the front, but she's younger than I am so.... I did find a dress with short sleeves and a neckline. The priest was very pleased.

I think that modesty during a wedding is very important for all people attending. It's not a cocktail party.

I was never into it. But I knew girls that used to come to school in mother approved clothing and then change. My mother always went shopping with my sister and I for clothes. She would just tell us that something was or was not attractive and we believed her. So I agree the mom's need to be paying attention to what their girls are wearing.

Plus, she doesn't have big bazooms pushed all up and hanging all out over the strapless top. Strapless is not a good look unless the dress is very well fitted and corseted and the wearer is very fit, with no underarm or back fat -- about 5% of the brides who choose strapless, from the looks of it. Cannot even watch "Say Yes to the Dress" any more.

LOL! I know what you mean.
