Re: Kids may hurt marriages
WF,
If couples stopped having children just so that they can keep the "fun" alive in their marriage.....then the human population will surely dwindle.
What about those relationships in which the couple has no children....and one of the partners is having an affair? In such a scenario, the kids are not the problem. I'm giving this example to point out that there are many factors that can derail a marriage besides having children.
And every marriage is different. There are many couples who become closer after having children, because they have a common goal, and they can share their happiness and sorrows with other additions to their family.
The key is to balance things out. Couples need time away from their kids to keep the spark in the marriage alive. And healthy couples make sure to arrange time for themselves and take a break from life's chores.
