The results of the poll on religion in marriage have arrived.
The first one doesn’t really surprise me, as a lot of my readers are LDS, and most of us tend to marry within our faith. I’d be interested in knowing what percentage of those people were LDS. If I were a professional pollster, I probably [...]
