 From a former Family Research Council page
Research by social scientists Nick Stinnett and John DeFrain shows that one of the seven characteristics commonly found in strong, healthy families is the ability to deal effectively with conflict and crisis.
Indeed, research by University of Texas sociologist Norval Glenn shows that residential mobility (or, more precisely, the absence of social rootedness) is highly correlated with divorce.
Since research shows that many divorcees, looking back, often perceive that they gave up on their marriage too soon, longer waiting periods seem to make a great deal of sense.

 Analysis #2 of the Family Research Council Site
The Family Research Council (FRC) is an anti-gay website that uses religion and the bible to legitimize their stance against the homosexual lifestyle.
To further their cause, the FRC employs a type of scare tactic to politically propagate their disapproval of gay relationships by associating their understanding of biblical positions regarding homosexuality and drawing attention to societal chaos and degradation to the standard of life.
Finally, as an aspect of the FRC's concept of homosexual relations has been thoroughly refuted by modern sexological study and sociological analysis, the website stands firm in it's belief that all persons are "naturally" heterosexual and that homosexual persons have consciously and perversely chosen to abandon heterosexuality for homosexuality.
