Staying Married for the Kids

After my infidelity came out. We decided to stay together and work it out for the children.  Some couples choose to stay together for the sake of the children.  There are consequences to divorcing and staying together.

The short answer is yes, however, if the marriage is chronically troubled it may not be the best option.  Children thrive when in a secure family model in which the parent love each other and love the children.  Try your best to make the marriage work, but if you or your partner are unhappy don’t stay together for the sake of the children.

Separation is unsettling, stressful, and destabilizing unless there is parental abuse or conflict. Research shows that what can really be damaging for the kids is conflict.
