Marriage links for the week  

Pastors in Cleburne County, Arkansas are taking steps to fight the highest state-wide divorce rate in the country (75%).

We shouldn't need Marriage Protection Week, but we do.

If God doesn't exist, then nothing makes sense—especially marriage. To me, marriage is a sacred lifelong commitment between a man and a woman. Still, there are still practical, non-spiritual benefits to marriage.

A study from a sociologist at my alma mater, The University of Texas, indicates that married couples experience joy and happiness on their wedding day, then enter into a gradual, irreversible decline toward dissatisfaction and regret. Whatta loada crap. In matters of human will, statistics are irrelevant.

This is so cool. Family history working its way into family future. Awesome.
