I am not familiar with the stats; however 50% more than 50% is only 75%.

(.5*.5)+.5=.75

I’m really confused by the statistic that living together before marriage increases divorce rates to 50%. Aren’t divorce rates already at 50% in America? And the church is no different…

Aren’t people who wait until their late 20’s + to get married for the first time less likely to get divorced? And no doubt many of those same couples lived together before marriage.

I’m really not pro-living together before marriage but I find people tend to use (or make up?) whatever statistic best suits their argument. It makes me wonder where they get their statistics.

The happy couple should tell everyone its none of their business. People who have different religious beliefs should keep it to themselves.

Not only is fornication a sin, but “living in sin” is also associated with far higher rates of domestic violence than marriage, as well as a much higher (50%) rate of divorce once marriage occurs. Cohabitation isn’t training for marriage, but rather training for jail and divorce. If you want the one you love to respect and cherish you, a great place to start is to tell him or her that sex will come after the ring and a marriage contract are completed.

Ben, foxnews is not a responsible news channel. However, they are not responsible for your whims either.

This column typically focuses on the rational discussion of human sexuality. Occasionally it steers towards the practice of sex and human relationships.

If you are uncomfortable with that, then you don’t need to read this website.

Richard Smith, I blieve the definition of fornication is voluntary sexual intercourse between two unmarried persons or a couple not married to one another. The person who wrote the inquiry did not state anything about having sex with their partner, so there for there is no proof that fornication is going on. So shut your yap and leave the preaching for church. If everything is going well in theri relationship, why wreck it. You wouldn’t fix your TV if it wasn’t broken, would you?

Fornication is a sin. The last post I put on here got deleted just like the rest. Maybe fox should think about taking this garbage off of here and people won’t be so mean. Why don’t you all email me a good reason for keeping this column on here. The first time you did a shady job and never answered my question. To JESUS the Glory.

Marriage is a moronic idea. It really should have no legal bearing on anything.

It is the brainchild of religion, if that tells you how bad the idea really is…
