An interesting article discusses the phenomenon of the increasing number of "repeat divorces".
A couple of questions come to mind.
1) Why do we have the throwaway society?
2) Why are people such poor judges of character?
3) Would marriages built on true dependence on Jesus Christ reduce this trend?
4) Why ask why?
Questions number 1 and 2 are pretty easy to answer I think; our sin nature. We want what we think will make us feel good now and we don’t want to listen to God to see what he says about the topic.
I think the fact that in the Christian community the divorce rate is the same as the non Christian world does not argue against question #3. Instead it would argue that many in the Christian community are not really Christians or at the very least not living a life that is dependent upon God.

About waynem
As a Minnesota based photographer and artist I have been greatly influenced by the Upper Midwest. I focus my skills and energies on portraits, landscapes, cityscapes, architectural and fine art work.
My best work comes from images first painted in my mind. I mull over a prospective image for weeks or months, seeing it from different angles and perspectives, then finally deciding what to capture. The result is images that deeply touch people's emotions and powerfully evoke memories and dreams.
My images are used commercially by companies and organizations ranging from Financial Services firms, mom and pop Ice Cream shops and The Basilica of St Mary to communicate their shared vision and values. Book and magazine publishers have featured my images on their covers. My photographs also grace and enhance the decor of many fine homes.
