[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't have an answer for you but I agree with you. (I'm a woman, FWIW, no kids, don't want them.) It just so often seems like a woman wants to get married now because she's madly in love with her husband, but because the husband is a means to an end (children). Then the children come and the husband is secondary, always. I don't get it. Your spouse is supposed to be your number one teammate and life partner. And don't you want your kids to have a marriage to someone they are madly in love with? Don't you want to set an example of what true love looks like? I'm with you OP. [/quote]

You don't have kids, you are not qualified to comment on this thread. [/quote]

Meh, you don't need to have kids to recognize an extremely common dynamic. I see so many of my girlfriends ignore their marriages for the kids and then wonder why their marriages fall apart. It's like they've bought into this silly notion that unless they sacrifice their own happiness on every level they aren't good mothers. The ones who prioritize their marriages are happy, have calmer children, and enjoy family life. Same for the dads. Kids need the stability of knowing their parents put each other first. I'm qualified to say this because I saw it with my own parents. They loved us to death but put each other first. I had a tremendously secure and happy childhood.
