Christians say the Big Guy loves you, but not your divorce. Consequently, a St. Louis area company decided to whip any divorce-pondering couples into marital shape by organizing the Institute of Marriage Boot Camp, reports the St. Louis American.
Okay, not so much a "boot camp," per se, as a series of lectures by Baptist pastors, bishops, and assorted church leaders; some serious bible quoting; and a gift bag. Our favorite sound bite:
"God hates divorce," Roach said. "God created marriage, marriage is good. The problem with marriage is the people."
The thing is, according to the article, one-third of Christians have been divorced at least once. In an attempt to salvage the remaining two-thirds of the Christian population, the Religious community reached out with the pro-marriage event.
Who knows? Maybe a few walked away inspired and relationships were rejuvenated. If anyone can work matrimonial miracles, it's, well, God. Or a good marriage counselor. Or a combination of the two.
