The Good News About the Bad News About Marriage
Ron: Half of all marriages end in divorce, right? Well, I’ve got good news.
Announcer: For FamilyLife Blended®, here’s Ron Deal.
Ron: The actual divorce rate is not nearly fifty percent and never has been. Yes, there is a risk of divorce that is real. About one third of couples in the U.S. who at one point tied the knot are divorced today. I should add that the risk of divorce for step couples is higher. But a lot of the negative messages given in our culture about marriage just aren’t true.
Here’s the bottom line. Most marriages last forever. And, most couples are happily married. That’s especially true for Christian couples. Yes, there is good news about marriage so be a couple who lives the good news. For FamilyLife Blended I’m Ron Deal.
