Despite their ”Bible Belt” status, Mississippi and other southern states have a higher rate of divorce than states in the Northeast. Surprising, right? Click here to read an article regarding the divorce findings of a U.S. Census Bureau report.
Some theorize that the South’s higher divorce rate is caused by getting married too young. While I disagree with the writer’s underlying agenda to discredit the sexual values instilled by Christianity, the statistical variance between Southern divorce rates and Northeastern divorce rates should be studied. There may be a lesson to be learned from Northeasterner’s who routinely marry much later in life, the theory being that with age comes maturity, education, and a realistic approach to marriage. No one can argue that maturity, education and realism are necessary equipment for a successful marriage.
