Do live-in arrangements pay off in long-lasting, satisfying relationships? Consider the following:<\/p>\n\n<p> Couples who live together before marrying have nearly an 80 percent higher divorce rate than those who do not (recent National Bureau of Economic Research survey).<\/p>\n\n<p> Couples who live together before marriage are less happy in their marriages (National Council on Family Relations 1983 study).<\/p>\n\n<p> 40 percent of women in live-in arrangements said they had endured a kind of sex they didn&#8217;t want or enjoy (New Woman magazine 1986 survey).<\/p>\n\n<p>&#8211; Reported in Single Adult Ministries Journal, July-August, 1988<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-article-subhead1\">Favorite Hymns<\/h2>\n\n<p>Which hymns do Americans most enjoy singing? The Gallup Organization reported these were the top five:<\/p>\n\n<p>1. Amazing Grace<\/p>\n\n<p>2. How Great Thou Art<\/p>\n\n<p>3. Rock of Ages<\/p>\n\n<p>4. Battle Hymn of the Republic<\/p>\n\n<p>5. The Old Rugged Cross<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-article-subhead1\">Alcoholism<\/h2>\n\n<p>Alcoholic beverages get a lot of positive attention on weekend commercials. But those ads don&#8217;t mention the devastating consequences of alcoholism:<\/p>\n\n<p> Alcoholism is our third worst national health problem, following only cancer and heart disease.<\/p>\n\n<p> Heavy drinking contributes to an estimated 80 percent of fire and drowning accidents, 60 percent of violent crimes, and 30 percent of suicides.<\/p>\n\n<p> Someone dies because of drunken driving every twenty-two minutes.<\/p>\n\n<p>An estimated ten million Americans suffer from alcoholism. Add in the family members and close friends of these alcoholics, and you find that one-fifth of the American population is severely impacted by alcoholism.<\/p>\n\n<p>Sources &#8211; Afterlife: The Gallup Report, 5\/85; Roper Organization study for Public Opinion magazine, reported in Psychology Today, 9\/88.
