==Divorce==
The divorce rate In the United States]] is slightly among committed Christians than in the general population. There are no statistics about the numbers of Christians who stay in unhappy and/or abusive marriages because they believe that divorce is sinful. By contrast atheists and agnostics are under no pressure to stay in unhappy relationships but they divorce less often. Secular websites argue that this is because they "try each other out" and find out if they are sexually compatible before marrying and starting a family.
