This is not a question of semantics. Bishop Tiny Muskens is trying to "make nice" with the muslim community by compromising the truth.

I think the real problem here, as with any failed relationship, the two of forgot the Biblical principle of putting others before ourself. They got selfish and didn't minister to each other and instead fed their selfish desires.

The divorce rate for christians may be higher, but christians are more likely to get married. The website you reference, citizen, also states that less people get married today than in the past (due to common law marriages and such).
{"There is consensus that the overall U.S. divorce rate had a brief spurt after WW2, followed by a decline, then started rising in the 1960s and even more quickly in the 1970s, then leveled off [in the] 1980s and [has since] declined slightly." 7 However, such gross statistics are misleading. There are a number of factors involved that obscure the real data:
bullet The normal lifestyle of American young adults is to live together for a period of time in a type of informal trial marriage. These relationships frequently do not endure.
bullet Couples enter into their first marriage at a older age than in the past.
bullet A growing percentage of committed couples have decided to live in a common-law relationship rather than get married. This is particularly true among some elderly who fear reduction in government support payments.}
It is possible that christians get divorced more often simply because more of them get married.
