Non-biblical divorce has destroyed the nuclear family

Christian nation

How is it that there are several non Christian nations that are far far safer and have a much more obedient populace than we do here?

We need marriages like they had in the Old Testament. Multiple wives that are are basically the equivalent of house servants. And if they disobeyed, you could keep them in line with a good slap or two.

Sounds nuclear all right.

How many "Christians" are living in sin?

Every day. Even though I try to be a better person today than I was yesterday.

Luke 16:18: "Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery, and the man who marries a divorced woman commits adultery."

What about if the woman left the man and sought out a divorce? When I married, my intentions were to marry for the rest of my life. My only way out would have been adultery, physical, drug, alcohol, or sexual abuse --- and/or complete disrespect towards me.

As far as I know, none of those happened, but that didn't stop her from leaving, and never looking back.

It's fine now, and I will always respect her as a mother of our children. I do believe that divorce today is too easy, and that is because we live in a throwaway society. Marriages are not sacred or treasured as they once were.

And social media only complicates matters, and often times make it worse. Plus you have many disgruntled women in their relationships, and when they all come together, there is a toxicity like no other.

“Social media is designed to make you think: “Maybe I should be somewhere else, doing something else, with someone else. But if you always think your happiness is somewhere else, it will never be where you are.” - Steven Bartlett

respected the institution of marriage

From a secular standpoint, we've created a world where women don't need men. It all goes back to when birth control pills were put on the market. Now they can choose if they have children which frees them to work and earn their own living. There are no real outside threats that they need men to protect them from. Having a family and staying together is a luxury that you have to choose to hold onto. Being a Christian nation isn't going to change any of that. Christianity encourages people to make selfless choices like staying in marriages and taking care of children.

Sorry your wife left you, but it’s probably because you suck.

Wish we were still a Christian nation that respected the institution of marriage.

Yeah, all the worshipped Founding Fathers who respected marriage so much

One of the biggest predictors of children living in poverty is single parents.

The left loves the destruction of the nuclear family because it creates an entire army of people dependent on government for everything. It also destroys fatherhood. The nuclear family unit provides stability financially and socially and makes you not need the government, so naturally the left wants to destroy it.

The sad part is the anti religious folks on the libertarian right who worship “freedom” above all else buy right into the lie that marriage is old fashioned and not needed anymore, and just a contract like everything else. How is that working out for us?

Divorce? People aren't getting married in the first place. Illigitimacy is what destroyed the family. That and the government enabling that behavior through handouts.

When I was growing up, I was told that sex was a gift from God for married people. You can see the importance in the Bible. No premarital sex, no extramarital sex, punishment for those who do. If sex is so important and a gift from God, shouldn't this go both ways logically?

A guy told me that his wife hasn't put out since his kid was born. The kid turns 14 soon. If sex is so important that it should only be done within a marriage, then shouldn't a man be allowed to divorce a woman who doesn't perform her wifely duties? Should a good Christian be prevented from enjoying God's gift simply because his wife is frigid?

Logically, it should work both ways. If you can get a biblical divorce because your spouse sleeps around, then you should be able to get one for a sexless marriage. The problem with taking the Bible literally, and not thinking beyond what is written, is that no book can possibly cover every possible scenario in detail.

What if your wife doesn't sleep around but does get an abortion without your knowledge? The Bible doesn't mention that, but common sense should tell you that God would be OK with you leaving her.
