[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think kids (or things related to the kids) cause 99% of the problems for most people. I don’t think we had one fight in the four years before we had kids. We had plenty of money, time, fun, etc. [/quote]

In some ways I can see this. The biggest recurring fight we have is who is doing more with the kids and house. HOWEVER, that said, I also think having the kids gives us more meaning and purpose in life than we'd have without them.

In a way, raising them is a like a shared hobby but it's more than that. It's nice to live with the one person who is as interested in them as I am. They bring us together more than push us apart.

You're the exception rather than the norm from my experience as a divorce attorney.[/quote]
But if you're a divorce attorney you're mostly seeing the couples that are divorcing.  You don't get to see the happy couples.  Skewed sample.  More relevant are the stats posted  earlier that childless couples divorce at a higher rate (and many probably don't even bother with a divorce attorney, so you don't see as many of those either, also skewing your sample).[/quote]
