Why am I not surprised that these people have the highest divorce rate? I have a friend who is Baptist and he met a woman during his college years and after only 3 months of dating they were engaged and 4 months later married. He said that this was the only way that the two of them could get laid legally in their religion.

How awful. Are you sure about this? I mean why would you make a commitment like this just to have sex? Geez if what you say is true then I just don’t know what to think of these guys anymore. Seriously if you want to get laid just do it don't use religion to get what you want how horrible

I am a roman catholic and if you divorce as a roman catholic you have no right to re marry. If you want to re marry you have to change to another religion because the church only accepts one commitment that you made in front of God for your whole life

Hmm never knew that part of Roman Catholics. Guess I have to change my views of them now. Anyway back to the topic. I don’t think that the real reason is religion here but the age at which they get married. You guys get more respect from me from now on ... I need to learn more about others before judging ...

You say age but I think that the speed at which their relationship went and the time frame that they had to know each other. To get married when you barely know the person is a mistake. I just don’t understand why youngsters these days are so much in rush to get married. They think they are ready but in fact they are now. I wonder what they are being taught in school these days

Mistake indeed. I knew a couple who knew each other for a year before getting married and well it didn’t last for 3 years. I guess there were parts of them that we never showed to each other and well it ended the marriage. I think that taking enough time to make a relationship is very important

Yup agreed. But you know Baptist are not the only one who divorce. It’s true they have a high rate of divorce but the real reason of divorce must be something else. We all have our reasons why it happened to us right? The divorce rate is very high in the U.S maybe something is wrong in the education of the couples

Hello sasha. I think you are right when you say that the divorce rate has considerably increased . I believe that the very meaning of marriage has changed in our world of today. People take marriage more as a legal contract which they break whenever they feel that they can no longer live it. it is so sad to say that the religious meaning of marriage is gradually being eroded in our society.
