A recent study published in the American Journal of Sociology shows that the divorce rate is especially high in places like Alabama and among religious fundamentalists. High divorce rates were found in couples who believe that the Bible is the literal truth.
The reasons these marriages fail, apparently, is that fundamentalists tend to marry too young, before they know who they are, and to oppose contraception. They have many small children, tension grows, and the now-adult couple comes to understand that they don't belong together.
