beleive what you will...however, it has been proven that couples who have a faith in the church and God have less divorces then couples who do not.

Actually, it's the exact opposite. Do your research before you make biased assumptions.

If they researched or reasoned, their faith wouldn't be blind.

I'm gathering he thinks you are still reading his posts to you, since he posted a response to this same one I'm responding to, of yours.  

Then you'd be "gathering" incorrectly since I clearly stated that the ignore button's use doesn't include continuing to post specious gossip about those whom you're supposedly ignoring.  It doesn't actually "block" others from reading posts which one member is not-ignoring. It's characterized as an 'ostrich button' for those who remain ignorant of what the term "ignore" actually means.
Not disagreeing with you, just said it differently.  I will change the first part of the wording to say that I am gathering that she will still read what you have to say - some can't always resist keeping the Ignore Button on, no matter who they may be ignoring...

In today's society, I totally agree.  In my grandparents' day, whether Christian or not, divorce was rare.  With my parents, divorce happened a little more often, but many tried to work through their issues, also Christian or not.  Today?  Christians and dis-believers both separate and/or divorce; while many live together without marrying (which includes Christians, as well.)

Nevertheless, neither reading posts of those being "ignored", nor talking about those being "ignored" constitute ignoring.  Such are the opposite of 'ignoring' and would be using the "ignore button" in ignorance.

I see what you are saying.  Some, however, just "want" whoever it is being "ignored" to "know" they are being "ignored" by them.  If I personally, was going to ignore someone, I would do just that - ignore and not speak of them, but not everyone is the same with that thought.

Wanting someone being not-ignored to know that they're being not-ignored remains not ignoring and more than a little passive-aggressive ignorance, however.

I guess it's every person to their own way of handling it!

True; some use the "ignore button" to not ignore and gossip anyway, (the much-used 'ostrich function' of the "ignore button"), and some few actually ignore.

A happy marriage Hum, I like what someone said put the Lord first and evey thing sould fall in it's place, (a verse from the bible). The other is communition with your spouse is a key factor; At lease one of them.   :angel11:

Specious religious clap-trap based upon blind faith, false attributions and no evidence doesn't lead to a happy marriage.  Even superstitious mutual self-deception/shared deceptions don't and can't lead anywhere 'good'/beneficial.

The other is communition with your spouse is a key factor; At lease one of them.   :angel11:

Preferably verbal, rather than written "communition"?

This thread applies more to Christians from a Bible perspective. What advice do you have that you can share for a happy marriage. Please lets keep it as nice and respectable comments. Thanks a bunch.

I agree about "Fireproof" being a good movie to watch.  :)

It figures why the already indoctrinated would like such a xtian propagandizing film.

Have you seen it, and agree with the quote from your personal experience of seeing the movie?
