My sister is a teacher in middle school and half of the kids in class are from divorced families. On the other hand, I don't think it has to do much with Christianity. Morality, yes, that is missing a lot in CR right now. But here in Midwest evrybody is Christian, and I still hear about people cheating or getting divorced for the third time.To Kimmie: Please, don't watch Nova, that TV station is part of the reason why Czech culture is so low nowadays ( was by the way introduced and financed by an american company first). And these "pruzkumy mineni", don't know the word in English, nobody I know ever was asked any question, like about radar or if their cheating or not. So I don't understand where do these agencies get their "relevant data" and I wouldn't really trust it all that much ;) Yes, the divorce rate isn’t very optimistic, that’s true.

I also read somewhere that the Czechs have one of the highest marriage rates but also very high divorce rates...It all falls into the picture, right? You get married, husband cheats on you, you get divorced, then you find the "true love", you marry him, he cheats on you, then you get divorced again..... That’s terrible!

Last night on NOVA they did a story about cheating here in Czech. They said 60% of married men and 40% of married women are cheating here. :( Hey, since we are on the subject.

I keep hearing the same thing from my friends in Czech. Isn't it bad enough that they spend most of their time in a pub? You are right though, they must feel so empty inside...without God.

I'm living it as a "foreigner" in Czech. I have had a very hard time here. And, I agree that the women do not get a chance to do their best. What I have seen is married women are either home taking care of the house (while there husband is drinking at the pub or having a mistress) or single women are showing everything they have got to married men(I have dealt with this several times myself, the women act like I don't exist when I'm with my husband). I think women here feel they need to do that to get what they want. I always have said and I will tell my daughter that your body will only be perfect for so long. But, your mind will be with you forever!!! And, put God first. You are weaker without him. I know this, because I have not gone to church here and became sad and angry. But, when I started reading the bible again my life is full of joy now. The nature is what I can't get enough of here. I wish I could put it in my luggage when we go back to the US.
