"Massachusetts, home to same-sex marriages, has the nation's lowest divorce rate, with marriages coming apart at roughly half the rate as in the red and more born-again states..."
It truly brings shame to the church when "born again" Christians are indistinguishable from unbelievers. Is sin no longer sin? What part of "God hates divorce" or "go forth and sin no more" do Christians not understand? That isn't a call for anything less than total commitment in marriage!
In order to get divorced one first has to be married. People who shack up without getting married and then separate don't get included in the divorce statistics. Massachussetts has a low divorce rate precisely because it has a low marriage rate. It has high rates of never married singles. It also has the lowest birthrate in the US. Fertility rates are highly correlated with voting Republican. Ninety-seven of the one-hundred fastest growing counties were carried by George W. Bush in 2004.
