Help, I Married the Wrong Person!

As I explained in my previous post, the Christian article, and book it uses for reference, use a counting method that significantly under measures the divorce rate (as I showed by demonstration). Basically, these "Christians" are lying about the divorce rate, and then these "Christians" lie again when they tell people that the 50% divorce rate is "just unfounded rumours and hearsay".

I haven't checked out her methodology. But I think you should make some allowances for the idea that some people are bad at math.

Any man who marries a feminist is almost certainly going to end up divorced. Women, by nature, want strong men. Feminists, by philosophy, want men to be weak. Either way, a married feminist is not going to be happy with any man, not to mention feminism also has a strong misandric undercurrent.

I think there are a lot of individual issues that can contribute toward feeling happy besides feminism, but I suspect you are right that feminism does not tend to lead to happy marriages.

Not all groups of women initiate divorce at the same rate. You can guess which groups greatly pulls up that statistic.

Do you know of any studies that show that feminists divorce more than other groups? That would be interesting.

I've been married a lot longer than any of you, and I am a feminist. I would say the rise of misogyny probably has contributed more to divorce than any other factor.

If we are throwing around unsubstantiated opinions, mine is as valid as any thrown out in this thread!

Hatred of women and Feminism could both contribute to higher divorce rates.

It's not bad math, it's dishonesty, as I have already explained in a previous post. The honest way is to count marriages vs. divorces. The dishonest way, the way to deflate the real divorce rate, is to count married people vs. divorced people.

Do you know of any studies that show that feminists divorce more than other groups? That would be interesting.

Nothing directly about feminism vs. divorce, but career women vs. divorce. Women initiate almost 2 of 3 divorces. That approaches 9 of 10 for career women.

I will never pray for someone to find another husband or a better wife. In fact, I pray that God keeps them there so that they could learn a thing or two about love not seeking its own. If you can't love your husband/wife when they're a mess, perhaps you should look a bit harder at how God loved you when you were screwed up (or ARE screwed up). How do you expect to manifest His glory to a world that you do not love?

Oops! Feminism is not biblical. Neither is misogyny!

Women and men are interdependent. The ruling over and being ruled over is because of the fall. It is a curse.

feminism ?? .... i was once a feminist (im 75) i now see that the equality (that was once rightfully demanded) became the right to live in the same way as the men who they were fighting.

My mother,s generation has super low divorce rate! It is a big thing! No virgin are deemed as dis graceful. I could imagine what would I do, if I would be with another man! I am scared! I married my husband , whom I had a crush on since I was eight. He is my chosen husband. I did not see him until I was in my twenties, and after both parents agreed, we dated.
i think married as virgins have more steadier marriage.
Many families fought really hard, or are easy to get a divorce, because one or both party are non virgins!
I am asian.
my generation, if a man knows a wife is not a virgin, he will not love her so much.

sadly that all is true dear (im 75 so i can call you dear). that may have once been true, but after 8 years in china dealing with chinese college students, it is no longer true ........ sadly

I think couples enter into marriage too lightly all the while knowing there's an option to split should things get difficult. I also think that if both parties are Christian it is more likely they will stick with it.

If they are true Christians. They are becoming extinct.
