Remaining Faithful - Part 1

Statistics

Recently, I was doing some research for a prep for marriage class. I was going over the topic of faithfulness in marriage.  I came across some statistics from a study done in 2010 in the United States.

  • Percentage of marriages where one or both spouses admit to infidelity, either physical or emotional: 41%

  • Percentage of men who admit to committing infidelity in any relationship they've had: 57%

  • Percentage of women who admit to committing infidelity in any relationship they've had: 54%

  • Percentage of men and women who admit to having an affair with a co-worker: 36%

  • Percentage of men and women who admit to infidelity on business trips: 36%

  • Percentage of men who say they would have an affair if they knew they would never get caught: 74%

  • Percentage of women who say they would have an affair if they knew they would never get caught: 68%

Over the next few blogs I will break down these stats and give you my thoughts.  Today, I want to know what you think. Do these statistics surprise you?  Do you feel they are an accurate reflection of our culture today? Do you think they hold true for Christians and non-Christians?
