what's this? what's this? (part 2)

i have been reading the myspace of someone that went through a divorce. she has been writing down her story in parts for a few weeks, and has been giving some interesting insight into her relationship. here is an exerpt:

"But after we married, something changed in me or in our relationship in general. Things quickly went from being focused on us and our relationship to being in ministry at our church and that was where all our energy and focus went. I think I got lonely really quick and I also started seeing him for all that he was (not that he is a bad person - just human). As I was being more and more unattended to by him, I became more and more attended to by a female friend at school."

you know the rest of the story. it is interesting to note how ministry replaces relationships for some people. this is severely unhealthy. the Church is only functioning correctly when everyone is involved and no one is ever spent to this point. the leadership of our churches need to be placed on check to ensure that they have enough time to spend with their spouses in order to have healthy relationships.

how's this for a depressing statistic? "Among married born again Christians, 35% have experienced a divorce. That figure is identical to the outcome among married adults who are not born again: 35%." (The Barna Group)

dang it guys, spend time with your wives!!!

i'm done. my stomach hurts...
