in my own personal, admittedly very limited experience,; kids really like to see their parents happy with each other. Not that that’s the only factor obviously. But they enjoy that a lot.so why be miserable. I think there’s always a way to get back to happiness if things don’t get too far off track. Moods change. Accept and tolerate.[/quote]
No doubt about that. Kids love to see their parents being loving toward one another. But I think that the choice outlined by SK is this: unhappily married parents in an intact home, OR divorced parents. Unless there is extreme abuse and/or constant, violent rages happening on a regular basis, I just don’t see how children would choose to live in a divorced family situation in most cases.[/quote]
I dispute that they have v to be unhappy. I refuse to accept the premise.[/quote]
I agree with you. Too many people are unwilling to change, even if just a little bit, to make their marriages not just bearable, but great. IMHO, it usually takes just small shifts in the way people think and act. Not really any major changes.
