Why Are Christian Divorce Statistics So High?
The church has become very legalistic concerning roles in marriage, and divorce issues. The attempt to control families and keep marriages together by legalism is cultish and is backfiring terribly. This is the reason that we have the highest divorce rate.
.. Leaders need to grasp the Biblical truth that the law kills, but the Spirit brings life. Leaders have been heaping dump trucks of man-made doctrines on the Body, which violate the core relationships of couples and families. We have placed laws over love. Marriages should be based on and grounded in love. We know love is the greatest, yet the church does not take love seriously. We have called love wishy-washy and undependable even though the Bible says that love never fails.
.. We need to make people realize that marriages are breakable ! A bowl made of plastic is unbreakable, and therefore, may be kicked around. A fine porcelain bowl is breakable. Therefore, it is treated with care and respect.
