Could it possibly be because Conservative Protestants are the biggest group still getting married, while the ungodly are shacking up? I’m sure the Leftist researcher at ut in Austin never gave that a thought.
Exactly.
Another possible factor is that many people find the church after the divorce. I doubt that the researcher accounted for that either.
Since they’re comparing those already married to those already married, those who aren’t married aren’t an issue

That was my first thought also.
Good Point!
Good point.
Exactly. If one never marries in the first place, how can he or she get divorced?
