Trust me, there isn't enough of that sort of business around to fill all your rooms, all year. We experimented with an ad in a Christian holidays brochure this year, we got precisely two enquiries out of it, and zero bookings. We haven't renewed our advert for 2014, much to the disappointment of the publisher, who all but told me he thought it was my duty to support his brochure to prevent it folding.
I don't think there are enough Christians in this country who are minded only to go on holiday to places run by Christians. I suspect anybody who was inclined to do that, would probably be so picky that they would spend their holiday finding fault with their hosts and questioning the standard of their Christian living.
I just don't see how the couple in question here could have had a functioning "marrieds only" policy in their double rooms. There aren't enough married couples any more and there aren't enough Christians who will only book a Christian holiday. I can't help thinking that, accidentally or otherwise, the only times they ended up enforcing their policy, was when it was blatantly obvious the couple couldn't have been married, I.e. when presented with two men or two women.
