Divorce in the Army

Pray for our soldiers' marriages. This article shows how divorce among our soldiers (especially the officers) is skyrocketing. Several factors contribute: the stress of separation, traumatic experiences, bonding with others, etc.

Idea: What if we sent soldiers and their wives to Family Life's Weedend to Remember? It's perhaps the best Christian Marriage Conference of which I know; some folks enjoy it so much they go every year. It seems like something churches would want to invest in, perhaps giving "scholarships" to military couples or marriages in crisis.
