Men cause divorce....

I don't think this is particularly right. It depends on the situation. It can't be said in general

Some couples having children in their family should think deliberatively before they end their marriage in divorce; otherwise innocent children probably become victims for this situation. Although people trend to think carefully before they get marriage, the rates of divorce continuously rise nowadays.

That is totally true Kim.

I actually have a close friend who got married and ended up in divorce after 6 months of marriage! And guess what?

It wasn't his fault. He married a selfish women that felt no need to change. She ended up leaving him for a guy that had money. God bless her soul!

Women are by default thought to be more submissive than men and thus gain undue support even when they are at fault.

That is a myth?

Yes.

I am with TStevens, Singles Ward, as a satire (though of the friendly variety)of LDS culture is very relevant here.

Kim wrote in the post that the video "perpetuates the myth that women are the spiritual ones and men are the carnal ones." That is a myth? :)

Thatâ€s interesting, Rebecca. I donâ€t think I have ever heard anyone suggest women would be more inclined to be passive toward their husbandsâ€ inactivity.

If they showed a couple where the wife was the one who stopped going to church, they would have to show a couple already divorced.

I don't know actual statistics, but I do know that in my case, there is no way, NO WAY IN HELL, that my husband would let me getting away with just not going to church, even for one week, unless I got really good at faking leprosy. And that would just cause more problems than it was worth. No wonder most women don't try it.

I don't know how to say nicely, but I think this is less about which sex is supposedly more spiritual and more about which sex is better at "making" their spouses go to church with them and which is more inclined to respond to a spouse's church inactivity with passivity.

Singles Ward is made by and for LDS members. Ice Cream in a cup or in a cone is still Ice Cream.

The point still stands because they are making fun of the inherit bias in LDS thought when it comes to divorce. If it wasn't then it wouldn't be funny.

And yes, I do see the massive weakness in THAT argument.
