Maybe because many married women are active in Church while dear hubby is working?
Could that skew the numbers?

Yikes! If Kinkade is art, Precious Moments is sculpture.

Sorry to hear that. I know it's a bitter pill right now.. but time changes things. (hard to conceive when you're going through the battle) Your son will grow up and see everything clearly for himself.....and she'll be the loser in the long run. Hang in there! You'll be in my prayers... :)

The quality of the art and the artist are often dependent upon the canvas.

A past girlfriend got a tattoo of a flower above her left breast, probably because she likes them, but just as likely to piss off her mom. A pregnancy plus a few decades of smoking and too much sun exposure later it is really hard to say what it is. I wouldn't call it art.

Some art forms grows more beautiful with age. Tattoos aren't one of them.

"Only about 30 percent of black women are living with a spouse, according to the Census Bureau, compared with about 49 percent of Hispanic women, 55 percent of non-Hispanic white women and more than 60 percent of Asian women."

I found the above interesting, I wonder how the breakdown goes as far as income with each of these groups.

Are the Asian woman in higher income brackets then non-hispanic necxt down and so on?

same here. I like my marriage. I would never bring kids into the world without a 2 parent household. So many families throw away marriage for what? Because someone claims not to be happy? If there is no violence and no infidelity, stick it out, it will make you a stronger person.

Re: The Naked Communist

Take note of point #25.

"25. Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce."

Check through the entire list. It's terrifying to see how much they've accomplished in American in a relatively short period of time.

Your post reminds me of a several folks I know. One stay-at-home college graduate delivered her second child and within months her husband was busy keeping himself happy with an employee. Shoot, now that I think about it, he may have been carousing around while his trophy was pregnant. Problem arose, so to speak, when employee/exemployee became preggers herself. I wonder if The Other Woman wishes she were a stay-at-home Mom nowadays, enjoying watching her children grow up.

After writing the above, it became clear why so many women are single. They either thought they had the perfect man and married him, only to find out later that he's not so perfect. Or they thought they had the perfect man who would divorce the stupid, stay-at-home ditz and marry the brainy, liberated Woman.

It is a sad state this world is in. And the next President of the United States will be . . .
