What did a recent poll find about newly married young couples expecting divorce?
A recent poll found that over 50% of young married couples who had been married within a month expected their marriage to end in divorce within the first year or two. This finding reflects an attitude of entering marriage with no commitment or moral foundation.
Les explains that he read a recent poll, though he did not know who took it, showing that over 50% of young married couples who had just been married within a month expected their marriage to end in divorce within the first year or two. He calls this shocking and says it reflects their attitude: they go in with no commitment. He attributes the problem to the Church failing to teach young people, so they no longer understand the Biblical promises of marriage, sex, and kids. Consequently, they enter marriage with no commitment, no moral foundation, and no anchor. Les contrasts this with the unchanging Biblical concept from Eden: God intended one man married for life to one woman, with remarriage only if death interrupted it; even Jesus' taunters raised Moses' writing of divorcement.
