Governor calls for cutting the state's and the nation's divorce rate.
Mike Huckabee will call for cutting the state's and the nation's divorce rate in half at the Governor's Conference on the Family, which will be held Saturday on the campus of Ouachita Baptist University at Arkadelphia. The first speakers after the governor Saturday morning will be Mike and Harriet McManus, co-chairmen of Marriage Savers, an organization that helped 24 cities cut divorce rates by convincing clergy from many denominations to adopt reforms to prepare couples for a lifelong marriage. There is only one community marriage policy in Arkansas. It is based in Springdale. I would like to see pastors in every city in Arkansas adopt a similar policy.
