Christians and divorce

I’ve read repeatedly of research which found that Christians divorce as much as everyone else in America, and I simply accepted that. A researcher recently did a study that was a little different. What he found was that, yes, on average Christians divorce as much as persons who are not Christians. But he found that Christians who actually tried to live the Jesus way divorced significantly less, and Christians who were pretty much that in name only and weren’t really trying to pattern their lives after Christ actually divorced significantly more than the religiously non-affiliated. So, being a nominal Christian is actually dangerous to marriages. Now, that’s interesting.
