Line 8: − </blockquote> − − ''In 1917, The American Medical Association passes a resolution declaring that "sexual continence is compatible with health and is the best prevention of venereal infections," and one of the methods for controlling syphilis is by controlling alcohol. Secretary of the Navy Josephus Daniels prohibits the practice of distributing contraceptives to sailors bound on shore leave, and Congress passes laws setting up "dry and decent zones" around military camps. "Many barkeepers are fined for selling liquor to men in uniform. Only at Coney Island could soldiers and sailors change into the grateful anonymity of bathing suits and drink without molestation from patriotic passers-by."'' <ref>[http://www.sodaknorml.org/history.htm A History of Drug Use and Prohibition]</ref> − − ==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. Sometimes they live together and find out if they are totally compatible before making a longterm commitment and starting a family. In that case when a relationship breaks up the break happens without children involved.

''"We are getting married anyway." - Great!! Then surely you must want to build your marriage on a foundation of obedience to the Lord and respect for one another. If you are a Christian and you love your spouse-to-be, you must want the best for him or her and following God's commands is always the best. A healthy Christian marriage consists of two people who are committed to obedience to Christ above all. God cannot bless sin so if you choose to build your marriage on sin rather than on obedience to Christ, you will reap the consequences of that sin rather than enjoy the blessings of God.'' <ref>[http://www.zyworld.com/PURENHART2/purity.htm Sexual purity]</ref>
