Marriage Statistic

Recently I was informed about this positive statistic:

1 out of 1,246 marriages ended in divorce when the couple: prays together, read their Bibles together, and attends church together- Harvard Study -

Some negative statistics that I also found were that:

70% of males have an affair; 60% of women have an affair throughout their marriage years

50% of marriages won't last longer than 14 years

Conclusion:

So doing those 3 positive actions stated above with your spouse reduces the chance of divorce from 50% to .001%!

God is SO VITAL in relationships!

Even if you are not married, set yourself up to "win" once you are married (if this is God's plan for your life). There are so many ways to do this, one of which is to have a consistent character in life. A definition of character is: who you are when no one is looking. So when you are alone, are you glorifying God with what you are doing with your time? If you do things that build your relationship with God, you are setting yourself up for once you are married, having a consistent Christ-honoring character which will overflow onto the love you have for your spouse. And if you are married and you are reading this blog- PRAY with your spouse, READ and WRESTLE in God's Word, and GO to church to have fellowship with other fellow believers.

As it says in 1 Corinthians 7, be content on where God has called you- whether your single or married, give God your all in which He will provide everything that you could ever want in your life plus so much more! (Matthew 6:33)
