That is so true. I don’t understand why one should put up with a hopeless marriage just because the couple has children. It does more bad than good for the emotional well being of the offspring if you have constant bickering, quarrels etc in your house. And, lets face it, all the frustration, remorse, anger and so on that inevitavly accompany a dysfunctional marriage are likely to take a hefty toll on the upbringing of children as well.
