[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I won't date anyone whose parents are married. They have unrealistic expectations of how easy marriage is, and won't put the work in to maintain a relationship. [/quote]

You are onto something.

Two of the three best fathers I know grew up with divorced parents.  My DH is the third and the exception. His parents are still together, but they are excellent at avoiding conflict: I couldn't last in that kind of marriage. My DH has learned from them and is trying to unlearn this dysfunction. If I ever leave him, it would be because of this conflict avoidance issue.

The other 2 men work their asses off to be excellent fathers and husbands. And they have written their own guide on what fathers and husbands should be. One of them literally has a daily affirmation for his family. These are 2 wonderful men who are equal partners if every aspect of their relationships with their wives and children( and they take time to look nice too). They don't take their wives/ families for granted.
