Marriage seems to be under attack as never before. The UK has the highest divorce rate in Europe. Statistics tell us that back in the 1930's only 4000 couples were divorcing each year. By 1981, this had risen to 27,000 couples, 75% on the grounds of adultery or unreasonable behaviour. By 1989, it was a staggering 164,000 couples a year. This has remained a constant figure ever since: 2001 recording 157,000 divorces and 160,000 in 2002, which means 400 children a day are affected by the break-up of their parents' marriage. Can marriage in the 21st Centaury really work? Recently featured in 'Wedding Ideas' "How to build a better marriage" provides a practical way for couples to keep their love alive. It is firmly based on Christian marriage principles, which may be applied to enrich any relationship.
