Does a couple simply get bored of each other over the years without the glue of children keeping them together?

I don't think children keep you together, in fact they can put alot of pressure on a relationship. If people stay together because of the children its for the wrong reason and barely ever works out.

Good morning C wave

I have to agree with Morgan on this one. On the whole having children shouldn't make any difference if you love each other bouquet

Having children is one of the most wonderful and precious things possible.

But it is life changing and the emphasis is on providing for another human being completely dependant on you.


Your relationship has to adapt and changes made, not always easy.

That may have been 50 years ago. We all have our income and social securities so we are free to leave. In the developed world are more the men the losers. They have to pay their lifelong, so they rather cheat on their wives and stay.doh

I definitely think marriages with children are more likely to break down compared to childless marriages.

The stresses of bringing up kids, not to mention the expense uh oh can be a recipe for breakup disaster.
