Just another way of saying that the statistics don't tell the whole story.

I would agree. When it comes to divorce I think the statistics are all over the board. I don't think it's possible to get a clear statistical picture on this.

That being said, our Lord Jesus stated the reason people get divorce is because of the hardness of their hearts (except for adultery). It's interesting in my mind to see divorce becoming acceptable to Christians because it indicates our hearts are being hardened against God's word and will.

A very astute yet poignant observation. One can't help but be reminded of St. Paul's warning in Chapter 11 of his Letter to the Romans.

"Note then the kindness and the severity of God: severity toward those who have fallen, but God's kindness to you, provided you continue in his kindness; otherwise you too will be cut off."
