What is getting lost here is that we are assuming all Christians have become able to let go of their lives so completely to God. This is an absolutely false assumption. Most of us are no where near that point, myself included.

surrendersacrifice's message is not that all Christians have come to this point already, but that this is a goal we ought to be aiming for.

Divorce rates and examples of bad behavior have nothing to do with the original post. They are simply evidence of the difficulty in trusting God completely.

Divorces are the evidence of Choice, not the evidence of not trusting God who is over there.. while we get on with things down here..

God rarely comes into why a person divorces but Christianity likes to say its because God was not in it, Gods laws, ways, rules were not valued or important.
