The heated emotions aroused by one person’s divorce can be transferred like a virus, causing others to divorce, researchers found.
Not only can the risk of divorce spread from one couple to their friends or family, it can also affect relationships at least two degrees of separation away from the original couple splitting up, according to the findings of sociologists and psychologists from three North American universities.
The researchers have called it “divorce clustering” and found that a split up between immediate friends increases a person’s own chances of of getting divorced by 75 per cent....

Therefore submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake, whether to the king as supreme, or to governors, as to those who are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers and for the praise of those who do good. Mark 6:17 For Herod himself had sent and laid hold of John, and bound him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife; for he had married her.
I like to think about those scriptures. Look what happened at the satanic birthday party. Just another reason to abstain from the worldly, selfish celebration of one's birth into this sick world.
And the prior scriptures clearly indicate that the King should punish those who celebrate satanic birthdays since they are evildoers!
Written in Heaven wrote: Getting "married" with permission from the false church called the State is contagious, for so many ignorant ones do so and are therefore polygamists!, being that the State is the third "person" in the so-called marriage ordained by man. Most cases of divorce are a non-issue because the man and woman are not truly married to begin with!

Malachi 2:16 “ For the LORD God of Israel says That He hates divorce, For it covers one’s garment with violence,” Says the LORD of hosts. “ Therefore take heed to your spirit, That you do not deal treacherously.”
Being around people who are trying to convince you of why they need to be divorced for unbiblical reasons: This is being around a bad example.
1 Corinthians 15:33 Do not be deceived: “Evil company corrupts good habits.”

On the contrary, John. It is the perfect answer to a difficult question. After all, we are only interested in what God says about each and every issue, not what fallible men say.
So tell me, what does God say to do in this situation?
Ah, but first you have to ascertain how God speaks to us today: audibly, through his word, by his Spirit, by instinct, by revelation, through ministers, through ordinary Christians, through creeds or commentaries? Which?

My parents 40th wedding anniversary is this month: Also, my husband and I will be having our 20th wedding anniversary in August, God willing!
I have a letter from The Prime Minister of Canada, with his signature and official seal, for my parents 40th wedding anniversary!
I can understand the contagion concerning divorce: But I see it especially in The Church. I know from my own life, seeing Christians divorce and remarry is a stumbling block for me. All their excuses why they have the right to divorce and remarry: These may echo in my mind when my husband and I are going through a rough time. I end up feeling angry and wonder why I work so hard at my marriage: This, while they have orchestrated the end of their marriage, and have also construed these actions in confidence of their total righteousness.
Even when my parents have been having a rough time in their marriage, I have had comfort knowing they are together.
Divorce on Trial has always been noticed in this country, at least since the days of Andrew Jackson. But sin has been systemic to the human race, since our great, great...great grandparents Adam and Eve. There is only one way to ... Have Victory Over Sin and that is to believe in the redeeming actions of Christ.
