This is a sore subject in many modern churches, many refuse to ever address it during their sermons. In my own church the pastor was going verse by verse through the book of Mark and when he came to Mark 10 he told us that this was a contentious chapter and he was going to skip over and come back to it later. He never did come back to it, political correctness won out again.

Hi FT

 No problem Frank, the solution as easy as we see Americans have quit the whole idea of marriage.
More blacks are born out of wedlock then born with her father. This is a result of the democratic control of benefits which have  inslaved the blacks once again, they started the KKK to keep them in their place and have never let go.

Marriage has became a joke in America.
Those that fear the Lord must understand that the covenant is with both your spouse and God. Breaking that covenant with God will have to be addressed with Him.
