Does anyone think it's ok to stay married because of the kid's?

As the question is framed, it is certainly ok if you both are committed to keeping your issues to yourselfs and raising your children as if you are happily married. However, children are incredibly perceptive and will feel the tension if it is present. I agree with Kelso and the others that an unhappy household full of bitterness and resentment is a worse environment than two households where the parents are happier. The more important issue is how involved each parent will be in their children's lives whether they are in a two parent or separate environment.

I think the answer to that question is different for everyone & it will always be a subject of debate of what is right or wrong. It all comes down to what the parents feel is right & how they want to raise their kids.
Before my parents divorced I clearly saw that something was off, there was no happiness, they seemed irritated. They put smiles on their faces but I knew otherwise. A few months later they divorced. It was the best decision they could have ever made. They were happier, they actually got along way better than when they were married. Almost every weekend we would meet up in either my mom's place or dad's place & just have family night. At first I was a bit angry & sad that they divorced, but then I remembered it won't be so bad they still love me, I love them, who am I to keep my parents from being happy even if that meant they would no longer be together.
So the choice is yours and your other half, you need to think about both scenarios and how you think each one will turn out.

it's no one business but your own..everyone's marriages differ.
All i can tell you if a parent is unhappy..it reflects on the children.. a single happy stable parent is a healthier environment for the kids than 2 unhappy ones.

If you're able to stay civil and kind to one another, yes I believe it's the best thing to do.

It is the very best reason to try!!!! Single parent homes often come with extra hardship and it has a trickle down effect. Parents that don't get along need to evaluate their priorities and figure out how to make decisions based on the best interest of their children.

As long ar there are no huge issues like physical abuse,its perfectly ok to stay married.Kids do better when they have both dad and mom. but there has to be harmony between them otherwise kids will be wrecked.

Yes, while you raise the kids. If after they are grown up you split up then at least you gave your kids a foundation of a two person home, and they are older enough to understand what a break up is all about. Many young kids blame themselves for the parents breaking up. They carry this with them all their life.

What is your situation? Are there arguments have you really tried to make things work? Have you been married long? How old are the children? I was with my husband 9 years married for 7 of them, we split when our eldest was 3 and youngest 1. It's hell I often wonder which was worse this or living together. We've been apart 4 years its still awful I'm seeing a solicitor next month for advice.
