Churchgoers Have Lower Divorce Rate
It's commonly believed Christian marriages end in divorce just as often as non-Christian. But this is not true, according to University of Connecticut’s Bradley Wright and the use of General Social Survey data. According to the study, Christians who frequently attend church have relatively low divorce rates. The divorce rate among Christians who attend church once or more per week is 32%, vs. 41% among all Christians and 48% among non-Christians.
