That may be true and it is a pity if that is the reason. I know I speak to the issue whenever and wherever it encounter it. Abuse is wrong,using the Bible to do it still doesnt stop it from being sin.

I don't personally like that term Protestant, though. There's Bible believing, or not. I've always understood Luther and a large company as Protestants, and realize that is a label for things non-Catholic, but believe just the label imparts some relevance to Catholicism I've never actually known. In our time, we were born into a world with Bibles in our languages protesters fought for, but I learned real Christianity in a nondenominational fashion, from the Bible. To say I'm living in a state of protest of one cult of error, more than any other cult considered Protestant, is to give these things weight they've never had, in my life. I'm not fighting the Reformation over, are you? So, that term Protestant I don't really relate to. There's no raging Catholic controversy going on in the churches of my life, wherever I've been, rather out of sight and out of mind. I think Catholics would like to think they're so injected into things they have protesters anymore, but it's only forum fodder. Unless you hang out with them, is it really relevant to you, personally? Does that make sense? No? Well, alright, carry on.

I think I'd rather bear the label a Sola Scriptura, just cut to the chase. The catholic church is the body of Spirit-filled believers, of the true gospel of Jesus Christ and the apostles, of holy scripture.

And yet, it was the Man God held accountable first, lone before the woman. And it's also possible the man was standing right next to her, since it says she gave some to her husband, depending on your how you interpret Chapter 3.

From what I've seen, it's even worse. Some of the supposedly Biblically based marriages are some of the most dysfunctional, with, like, a husband tyrant who carries his giant Bible to church and downloads porn, who, as often as not, is doing things on the side. It seems when you see the Bible thumping, until the table is jumping, it's always, "Look out below!" Actually, I like quiet, faithful people, but don't much like noisy, religious people.

You need to get out more. Most of the marriage I know -- of born-again people -- are good and loving. There lives aren't always easy, but the relationship is good and biblical.

For those who think marriage is tough, or think there are no good Christian marriages, might I recommend something that will knock your perceptions on its ear? Sonship by Jack Miller. It's not a course about marriage, although marriage is in it. It's how to live in Jesus with the right mentality. When you have a truly biblical mentality, it affects everything from marriages, to jobs, to helping others, to helping the church and the world.

I seriously didn't know any bad marriages in my last church, because the people got this. We are partners in Christ and with each other. He's the senior partner, and we're junior partners.

Marriage has never been hard on us. The rest of life has been overbearing, but because we are united in Christ, we persevere and flourish. It's not some kind of royal mess, it's a way of thinking that enables us to see God and want to do what he wants us to do. Not perfectly, but at least there's a want.

I honestly have no idea how marriage can be hard work. Not being married would be hard work to me. Check out the Internet for what Sonship is, and you'll get some idea what I mean. If it doesn't blow your mind, something already did. lol
