Being a Christian who has gay friends (and loves them!) but doesn't support gay marriage, the answer to your question unfortunately is pretty simple. A lot of Christians are hypocrites. A lot of the Church is lukewarm, a lot of the Church does not really follow after God. If we did, then our divorce rate would reflect that. Sadly, it does not. 

God hates divorce and only permitted it under certain circumstances because of the hardness of our hearts. Of course, there are exceptions to divorce being unacceptable, like due to adultery or an abusive situation. (Although God can certainly mend the wounds caused by adultery IF we turn the situation over to Him.) Marriage was intended to be a lifelong expression of love that models God's perfect love for us and glorifies Him, but humanity, being very sinful, fails at that A LOT. The main reason many Christian marriages end in divorce is because either person does not have their relationship with God as a priority, and as a result they do not bear spiritual fruit (love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, gentleness, etc.) which is really what you absolutely need in a marriage relationship.

I come from a family of Christians, and my parents argue a lot. It sucks, and it misrepresents God. But the underlying problem is simply my parents' refusal to turn their issues over to God instead of acting pridefully and aggressively. 

If Christians followed after God the way they're supposed to, divorce wouldn't be a huge issue. But they don't so it is.

I'm convinced, though, that every Christian who truly seeks after God is capable of having a peaceful, lifelong marriage. That's a goal for me personally, if I ever happen to get married. But as a Christian I know it's only possible through God's power, not my own, which is why I need to keep growing closer to Him on a daily basis.

All in all, it's a very sad point you make, but it's simply a result of the fact that many Christians are not sincere in their faith.

Enjoy your senior year! High school was the best. I'm starting college now and it's a total shock, I have classes up to 3 hours long and, at the moment, no friends. It's tough!

Excited that The Living Tombstone's done with his service! I didn't even know he was in the military, but I'm glad he made it through alright and can work on more stuff now!

If you review stuff, make it all pony. Always pony. If you can find good fanfics and write some nice reviews on them, that would be great! I just got into reading stuff on FIMfiction recently and would love to have some good reads suggested for me.
