Allright, I guess I will weigh in with the change in my pocket.

Personally, I understand divorce and why some people get divorced, BUT ... I also think many people enter marriage today, knowing that is always an option and children who come from divorce are at much higher risk of getting divorced themselves.

But, marriage is not the white gown and the big party and the honeymoon. That's a week. Marriage is the ups and downs and knowing the difference between a "down" and an "out" are very important.

Marriages don't just go through bad weeks or months, sometimes they go through bad years. Ask a senior who has been married 50+ years and see if they ever had any tough times in their marriage. If they don't say yes, either there is little passion or they are damn lucky.

Staying together for the kids is also not the best move, BUT, it should make the decision process all the more important.When you decide to divorce, you are agreeing to breaking up a family and you'd better be damn sure it's EXACTLY the right thing to do.

That's my opinion, not saying it's right.
