“I can tell you with absolute certainty that children DO NOT benefit from a couple staying together”
While it’s better that the children grow up in a peaceful environment, is it better that they be raised in a quarreling environment with a higher standard of living or one with a lower standard of living and possibly in foster care but peaceful.
How did these arguments start? Someone said something that offended the other and the other responded with something that offended the first person.Tactics such as verbal judo can defuse
the situation. Likewise reminding them how much they loved each other when they were first married may help save the marriage.
Almost every marriage can be saved if help is sought early enough. It maybe hard to realize they have a problem until it’s a full blown drawn out argument . By which time they are fighting without really having a reason. Like the Hatfields and the McCoys.
