Yes, sadly.

And Christians (of all flavors) at essentially the same rate as non-christians.

Perhaps we should start a new poll Mack?

How many marriages have you had?
What chance is there of a divorce ever occuring?
Why?

I suspect that we may get an interesting result from this group.

0%

Why?

Early in our marriage we told each other that divorce would not be an option for either of us. Still married after almost 12 years.

One. That is an answer to the question, but I will go on. It is my wife's second. She married in haste to escape her parents house and married a soldier right before (like days before) he went to Desert Storm. He came back "touched" and never treated her right, cheated on her, was abusive, etc. There was obviously no sincere committment on his part to a marriage.

When my wife an I were just friends, her ex wanted her cooperation in obtaining an annullment. She was not sure how to respond and I counselled her to go ahead and cooperate, cause you never know when you might need it. (She was not Catholic at the time.)

Little did I know at the time that the "you never know" would be for my own wedding.

What chance is there of a divorce ever occuring?

Zero, one should say, right?

Why?

Both her and I come from stable families where the parents are still together. So we dont' have a family history of cutting and running. Her earlier problem was truly a matter of youthful poor decision making. We are both committed to swim against the tide.

One and only one...twenty years on March 6.

What chance is there of a divorce ever occuring?

0.00%.

Why?

It's never really been an option and in the last 10 years we've grown closer and closer every day. Now that I've let God in I can't even imagine the possiblity.

One.

Nope.

Why?

Because my wife and I both believe in the sanctity of marriage and value it deeply.
That, and we love each other very much. :o)
