[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Modeling a happy marriage. Both DH and I grew up with unhappily married parents (his never divorced, mine did several times without finding happier marriages along the way). A [b]happy marriage is the best foundation for a happy life.[/b] [/quote]

Eh, I don't agree with the bolded. Health insurance, having enough food, having a safe place to sleep, access to education - those are all more important and necessary in order to have a happy life. [b]Your statement implies (probably unintentionally) that children raised by single parents can't grow up to have happy lives[/b], and I'm sure you can agree that's not true. [/quote]

You're confused. I'm saying that my children, AS SPOUSES, will have the best chance at a happy life if they are happily married. [/quote]

Oh, so you're saying that they can't be happy if they separate, divorce or choose not to marry.  That staying married, even if the other person does crazy or dishonest things over and over, that's the only way to be happy.  Got it.[/quote]
