How does Methodist church attendance affect the length of a heterosexual marriage?
Origins of Methodism
John Wesley breaking out from the Anglican church in the early 1600s
Methodism was meant to be a modern version of Christianity that combined reason and evangelicalism during the Enlightenment

All this to say that Methodist would be accepting to members who divorce because they do not follow the traditional conservative approach of isolating people who "sin" by separating from their partner.
Many people opposed this religion because of how accepting it was to minority groups such as women and homosexuals

Divorce
Culture War in the United States over taboo issues such as divorce
Why do people get divorced, and does religion have any affect on that?
People who go to church tend to have stronger connections in their communities and feel more connected, therefore, they may be less inclined to get a divorce

How strong ties in communities can prevent divorce
.“...members of religious groups want to cultivate a spiritual community of well-being” (Hoop, K. C. 2012, p. 106).
.“...social relationships and social capital are likely to contribute to human happiness and well-being much more meaningfully than increases in GDP per capita or personal income”(Jacquelyn Ann K. Kegley, 2016, p. 33).
Studying the Puritans, Smith found, “...people’s theological orientations do not necessarily predict their beliefs, let alone their behaviors, regarding divorce” (Smith, M. A. 2010).
