But then, who +knows? The authors noted the discrepancy. As for my own experience with heterosexual marriages... my wife(marginally Christian) and I(non-Christian) have been married 12 years; her three sisters all divorced and Christian to various degrees. Conclusion, Christians have a greater divorce rate than me. My wife does wedding photos and again a number, (more than 5), were divorce within a few years all 'church' weddings with various degrees of religiousness. To further darken the waters I'm not a proponent of monogamy nor do I consider that only heterosexuals should be allowed to form legally recognized 'marital' bonds. My wife feels otherwise relative to monogamy. -- John Clark jclark@ucsd.edu
