There Are All Manner of Interesting Stats to Be Considered...

and you brought up some good ones! :)

You're correct that Christians don't look particularly good in terms of divorce stats. But there is controversy in those numbers as well. Figures, when it comes to such things, there will be very divergent accounts of reality.

How a cohort is defined effects the statistical results. I wondered if there had been discussion of how the "Christian" population was defined in Barna's research, and I found some objecting to it; see link in which research out of the University of Virginia found that Americans who worship regularly several times a month (which sounds like "all the time" to me) had 35% lower divorce rate than those with no religious affiliation.

Figures, eh? Ask one expert and you get this answer, ask another and you get that answer! Almost sounds like Audiophiles!

Either way, divorce is brutal, and I wish for all couples struggling to get counseling and do their utmost to make marriage work.
