JOLLYBLOGGER: Statistics on Christian Marriages

Here’s an article speaking against the claims that Christians are just as likely to divorce as non-Christians. Why am I not surprised that these numbers were not telling the whole story. For example,

I estimate between 35 and 50 percent less likely than Americans who attend church just nominally, just once or twice a year, or who don’t attend church at all. It is true that people who say they’ve had a born-again experience are about as likely to divorce as people who are completely secular. But if you look at this through the lens of church attendance, you see a very different story.

It’s like when it was stated that 50% of marriages end in divorce, but that was based on the math equation of “number of marriages that year” compared to “number of divorces” and there were more divorces than marriages… therefore they assumed more than 50% of marriages end in divorce… we need to be careful what we believe!
