(I would say fewer, just a guess).
What are the statistics for child success in a dual parent Christian home?
And for you Christians out there, would you Marry a Non-Christian? Like I said, I would not.
I would be very careful with suggestions for some of these statistics Bluevette. First of all Christianity in itself is made of differeing sects, maybe you have to start breaking christianity down into differing sects such as Orthodoxy, Catholicism, Protestant, Evangelism, Mormonism and other cults that exist out there before you can pegion hole the entire religious sector. Even Orthodoxy and Catholicism in their own right differ greatly. I understand what you are trying to say, but there are so many other forces in play in this and your suggestion for statistics (Not provided dare I say) are not enough to sustain the assumption that two christian parents would make a better couple (I.e. lower divorce rate) than other couples out there.
Maybe an investigation into other religions and demographic statistics of other countries would help you to exapnd your thoughts on this. In your search for statistics on long lasting marriage differing between non Christian couples and Christian couples, maybe you can also include mixed religion couples, Budhist couples, Muslim couples, Jewish couples, Hindu couples etc... It may make you reach some very interesting conclusions and ask yourself some very interesting questions. E.g. what will your view on Christianity be if you find for example that Muslims have a lower divorce rate than Christians?
For myself I really don't care that much for religious beliefs of my partner as long as both personalities are compatible together. Having said that, I have always been lucky enough to find a woman with similar beliefs as I.
Don't cry, don't regret and don't blame
Weak find the whip, willing find freedom
Towards the sun, carry your name
In warm hands you are given
Ask the wind for the way
Uncertainty's gone, your path will unravel
Accept all as it is and do not blame
God or the Devil
