"could a big factor be that mormons stay married because half of every mormon marriage - the woman - is depending on her husband to choose to call her name so that she will be resurrected someday? That would tend to keep you from making him mad. Add community pressure, which is great.

While community pressure may be a significant factor, They "stay married" because that is how a mormon is defined. If you divorce, you're out. Saying Mormons have a high rate of staying married is like saying farmers have a high rate of agriculture. There are plenty of divorced ex-mormons who are not included in the statistics.

cookcounty,
thanks for your addition to the discussion.

I know they also have the bizarre belief that the souls of unborn humans are lined up in heaven, waiting to be born - which is why they insist on large families - to rescue them and give them bodies.

The more you learn about their beliefs, the more you realize mormonism is not a Christian belief, but a polytheistic religion of many gods and non-Biblical ideas, stitched together. Quite different than what you see portrayed in their ads.

I’ve nothing against individual mormons. I several friends who were raised that way and just accept it all. It is mormonism itself that is the weird thing.
