NO, GOING FOR A PRE-MARITAL SPIN IN THE RED VOLVO DOES NOT INCREASE YOUR CHANCES OF A SUCCESSFUL MARRIAGE

Hate to say it, because I would not want to break the bubble of the intellectuals who know SO much more than God's servants.......

But yeah, those little test-drives before marriage do NOT work.  The magic bullet of a virgin marrying a virgin, may be something so simple as you simply do not know what you are missing if your sweetie is kind of bland under the sheets..... and never quite figures out which buttons to push to get the engine of that Swedish car to roar to life.....  But, hey ignorance CAN be bliss.  When it comes to certain things, that is.....

My roomie and I were talking yesterday and mocking those jaunts by BYU students down to Vegas back in the 1980s for the quickie weekend weddings so they could fornicate "legally" for a few days before annulling and heading back to the BYU Ethics 205 course the next Monday.  I have to wonder if that slew of people who were in on that fad are now the same crew that shows up in the monster divorce rate in the Church?  Or amongst the swingers of dRaper (soon to be Draper Lake).....  I can only imagine.  We have fallen so far.  The cleansing will be a nice diversion from what we are dealing with now.  Time to hop off the "All is Well in Zion" pleasure cruise for a sailing on the HMS Reality....

Here is the article that spelled out the trends so nicely:

I love someone who can make a nice graph come alive.
