Wise, wise counsel. Please pass it on. Mr. Belz writes: At its worst, that diminished target has prompted thousands of couples—and that includes Christians—to give up altogether on marriage and to add to the divorce statistics. As a result, the Christian community has been clobbered by family brokenness in embarrassing ways. Instead of standing out as a model for the rest of society to emulate, our divorce statistics are only a little better than those of the unbelieving world—and we have tended to reflect the very distress we were meant to prevent. It’s tough to look down a pew in a typical evangelical church these days without seeing marital brokenness scattered along the line. And a lot of that has come about simply because the bar going into marriage was set way too low.
