  • SANDUSKY, OH—Despite intense unhappiness and an ever-widening emotional rift between them, devout Christian couple Linda and Benjamin Dollinger told reporters Monday that they have decided to stay married for the sake of their only true lord, God. "We're afraid that if we get a divorce, He'll never forgive us," said Benjamin, 37, who admitted that he and Linda had recently started arguing in their car with the radio on so that God wouldn't hear them. "We try not to let on how bad things actually are, but I think that, at least on some level, He knows something is wrong." Linda said that she and Benjamin plan to stay committed to their loveless marriage "just until [they] die."
  • If necessary He would. Once married, always married, no matter what the cost. Read your Bible!
  • No, he/she does not exist and as such has NOTHING to do with my marriage. As for who keeps it together, I think most men will stand with me and say the wife does.
  • He actually brought us together.....thank goodness.....we both needed it!
  • only God. people dont think its true but i KNOW it is the only way to save a marriage. WHY?? the bible specifically talks about how a wife and huband should be towards each other. it gives you the fundamentals for a helathy relationship. imagine that you read the bibel in the morning with your spouse and later that day they yell at you or whatever. they won't be able to look you in the face then because the would KNOW they did something wrong. a lot of my relatives' marriage relationships are falling apart. it really is because they haven;t let God into their family. theyre too conserned with themselves.
  • I've been on this site long enough to see a pattern. All our social ills are God's fault. Everyone says God is love, well He is also freedom of choice. God does not force us to do anything, He does not need to help us screw things up. If you want God to help keep a marriage together, or anything else, you have ask. That's called PRAYER. " But He didn't answer my prayer", because you either wasn't sincere, or it wasn't the right thing for you at the time. How many times do we tell our kids they can't have everything, or wait til Christmas.
  • This question made me laugh. Oh, its not that I think it funny. But for me, there is no question that he is the one that held is together. Sure, it is possible for married folks to survive without God, but I sure cant see how they do it.
  • God provided a beautiful earth with much abundance of natural food. He didn't spoon feed it to us though, but left it up to us to decide what we ate and when we ate it. Relationships work on the same principle. God provides the people in our lives, but he leaves it up to us as to how we treat them. If we are on this earth it is for a reason and though God provides us the means to live and love .. we must provide and apply the wisdom and knowledge needed in order to appreciate respect and cherish such a gift :)
  • My wife believes in God and I'm unconvinced. However, I'm sure that we both believe that WE keep our marriage together.
  • No, the love me and my husband have for each other does, unsurprisingly.
  • So far so good. I married a person with the same religious faith and it is a great benefit.
  • If he does, it is only because he has a really weird sense of humor.
  • Hell no. But romps in his Super Man costume does. >shiver<
  • This is not his job, its your job.
  • Well I beleave in God, but our marriage has lasted 16 years because of our love for each other. Yes there is down times but making up is sooo much fun. I recommend that in every marriage don't forget the laughter even if you have to laugh at your self.
  • Yes, but for a deeper purpose beyond our initial commitment. I believe He uses marriage to mold us in such a way that we'll learn some lessons about ourselves from each other we otherwise wouldn't have learned. What many people don't want to hear are the tough hard spots that cause many to hit the divorce button. But to those who struggle through it, there's blessing. My understanding of Him has deepened as a result of struggle and pain.

  • A marriage should not be about God. It should be about the love between the spouses. Nothing else matters.
  • He let me down on that one, but overall, he's been pretty good to me.
  • yes and i m very thankful to god for it-my wife is a god gift for me from my god.she gave me wonderful kids who love me too much.i forgot everything in front of them.they gave me peace n happiness.i was an animal without my family.thanks god.5
  • i think God dose and the reason i think that is because if God wants it to work out he will let the marriage work if not it want and good look with the resolts because i no how you feel my moms marriage is not going the best and i would love for it to but i got to let God deside that one for me love all you :)
  • I think that is his goal.
  • Is that a typo? Did you mean to say "glue" instead?
  • A common belief in God helps to keep a marriage together. God puts the couple together. It is up to the couple to keep it together.
  • No He let it fall to shit actually... Wasted some perfectly good begging on that one.
