Whether or not sex is a poor excuse for divorce is only your opinion. Other people have different feelings on the matter. For you to tell them that they are wrong about it is another example of you bible thumpers trying to dictate to everybody what they should do. And you know where you can stick that.

First of all, I am anything but a Bible thumper. I am not religious at all. My point is that marriage isn't solely about sex. If it were our vows would center around all the sex we would provide to our partners anytime they wanted or needed it. It is about a lifetime commitment to that one person in good times and bad. Those good times and bad are caused by both our spouses and outside forces. We have to commit to our family and be an example to our children and our grandchildren so that we can bring back family values in this country. Someone said earlier that we are probably too far gone to fix it as a nation and unfortunately I agree with that.
I completely agree with that. You test drive a car before you buy it, why on earth anyone would not test drive a potential spouse is beyond my comprehension. Like I said earlier, my spouse and I live together for a year before we got married.
So that was the point I was trying to make with the whole sex being a reason for divorce. They can't have it both ways. Going blindly into a marriage not knowing that your partner never wants to have sex seems kind of dumb, but that's what they push. And then get mad because you get divorced over it.
Yeah I agree, doesn't make a lot of sense. I think we should all put a lot of thought and time into making the decision to get married to that one person. But once we do, understand that we are making a serious commitment to them, to ourselves and to our future children. We have all the time in the world that we want before marriage to be selfish and want what we want but once we involve others in our lives, we can't just toss them away at a whim.
My spouse and I have a sort of motto that we live by. We both entered into this marriage for life, not with the thought of well we can always get divorced. We removed the option of divorce out of our vocabulary long ago. But anyway the way we look at it is that none of us really know if our marriage overall is good or bad.
We personally define a good marriage as more good years than bad. A bad marriage is more bad years than good. We don't know where we are until one of us dies and we count them up and see how we did.
I will say that there were times where we could have stopped and counted those years and came up with the result that our marriage was bad and also years where we could have stopped and counted and saw that it was good.

True. It always takes two willing no matter what.

The irony of the the fundy christians here going on about the sanctity of marriage is found in the statistics of religious beliefs and divorce rates.

** Barna uses the term "non-denominational" to refer to Evangelical Fundamentalist Christian congregations that are not affiliated with a specific denomination. The vast majority are fundamentalist in their theological beliefs. More info.
And the winner is..... evangelical hypocrites.... errrr I mean christians.
There's an old saying about people that live in glass houses..... :wink:
Then there is the buy bull belt effect, the more people that follow fundy religions in an area, the higher the divorce rate...

They're just two (2) of the latest Antichrist trolls dedicated to flaunting their immorality as was prophesied concerning this Last Generation. Par for the course.

Seems to me like the little children can't handle adult conversations very well.They're just two (2) of the latest Antichrist trolls dedicated to flaunting their immorality as was prophesied concerning this Last Generation. Par for the course.

Quite to the contrary, only little children would consider your conversation as adult.

Prognosis: You are a rebellious little mama's boy that hate's you Daddy who was a Christian, but probably wasn't really.
I'm not sure of the definition of Momma's Boy, but I take it is supposed to be an insult. You're going to have to try harder than that. That's pretty weak. My father married another woman and moved away. I haven't seen him in over 25 years. I wouldn't say I hate him. It's more like ambivalence. I don't know if he is currently a Christian, but your are dead wrong about him not being a true one back then. He was a deacon, we went to church 3 times a week, prayed at every meal, and read from the bible before we could open Christmas presents. Your implying that my reason for being an atheist is anything other than than using my brain and realizing that religion is crap.
