The 'quiet turbulence' of kids of divorce

A timely http://www.crosswalk.com report @ how attending revival meetings improves quality of life:-

Study Finds Attending Religious Revival Services Increases Family Harmony, Quality of Life

In the most recent issue of Education and Urban Society, William Jeynes, a
professor at California State University in Long Beach, conducted a study using three groups of randomly selected students to study the effects of
attending religious revival services at Brownsville Assembly of God in Pensacola, Florida.

According to the New York Times, the Brownsville Revival is the most significant event of its kind in the last half-century, with about 4 million attending since 1995.

Jeynes randomly selected 150 individuals - 50 who had attended the revival services, 50 who were waiting in line to attend the services, and 50 from across the country matched by zip code with those who attended the revival services.

Those who attended the revival services were much more likely than the General Control Group to report an increase in the quality of their lives and the quality of their family life. They were also more likely to report improvements in school behavior and a reduction in their use of illegal drugs and alcohol, though there was no discernable influence on a students' grade point average.
 
Not to jump the thread, but my lovely wife and I attended a fantastic marriage seminar a few months back with Dr. Emmerson.
