I'm afraid it would be an instant turn off for my wife. Maybe if we prayed really naughty things to Lascivia, the goddess of erotic passion, she might get a kick out of it. 😵

Dr. Phil was on TBN.

They where talking about relationships and Dr. Phil said that 1 in 2 marriages end in a devorice. But he also said that in marriages that the couples pray together 1 in 10,000 get a devorice.

I wonder if that is true whatever their religion.

Those statistics also mean that >50% of married people do not pray with their spouse. That makes me think that they are either atheist or really bad theists.

There are of course many possible reasons for the original statistic (if it is genuine).
1. It shows that there is at least some communication, so those marriages that are essentially destined for divorce anyway will not pray together thus the prayer is a result not a cause.
2. Very religious people often do not divorce for social reasons even when the people in question would probably be better off divorcing.
3. If you believe that divorce is against your religion then you are less likely to go through with it. That doesn't seem to stop people having affairs or living apart etc even though such action is presumably even more against their religion. This makes it look like the social aspect is the true reason.
4. Praying together does help a marriage in various ways but it is not the only way to achieve the same result. In fact Dr. Phil suggests quite a lot of ways to improve communication etc in a marriage and I don't remember him putting prayer at the top of the list.

Before I was married, someone told me to pray before having sex. So I have done it both praying and not praying. Praying I last longer and it is a lot better. P.S. a lot is two words.

Which position most glorifies God? The missionary position? The cross position?

All good points. I get tired of enumerating them everytime I see suspect statistics. Thus, I skip straight to "sounds like BS" where "BS" can have its usual meaning or, if more appropriate, can mean "Bad Statistics."

Whatever is Biblical glorifies God.

You should try Kegel exercises. They work even better than prayer.

Dr. Phil is a charlatan. Do you know what a charlatan is, RBHILL? A good way to recognize them is noticing that they use the title Doctor with a first name or a nickname. Dr. Dino is another good example.

That's a last name. Another example is Dr. Laura.

Oh, and a pretty good player of the Smith-Morra gambit I might add.

The number one cause for divorce is marriage
