Re: Kids may hurt marriages
When my oldest was born, my mother advised me to always take care of my husband, because some day my children would grow up, and so many couples separate after their children leave for college because the only relationship they have left is that of co-parents. We still go on date night a couple of times a month. You need to remember that you and your husband form the nucleus of a stable family, and that the children are in the periphery. It isn't healthy for them or for the family relationship to base everything on the needs and wants of the children.
