Question 2: How are children affected by difficult marriages?

Answer: Children are affected by difficult marriages in many different ways. Children are looking for love between their parents and when this is not present, children feel that there are the reasons for their parent’s unhappiness. The marriage maybe verbally and physically abuse which may affect the development of a child. Children can be scared from these abuses which may cause them to grow up and believe that this behavior is acceptable. The child may act out at school and other social setting in this manner because this is the type of training that is displayed at home. Children may also develop mental, physical and emotional issue from their childhood experience which can cause lack of communication and future problems like a dangerous life style.  A child may turn to drugs, sex and even suicide to escape these issues in their life. The child may develop the same life style when he or she grows up because their believe that the only way of life.

Question 3: Is it acceptable today to stay in a marriage just for the sake of the children?

Answer: In my opinion I don’t believe that it is acceptable for one to stay in a difficult marriage just for the sake of the children. However there is more than one point of view to this issue. The reason for saying I don’t believe that anyone should stay in a difficult marriage just for the sake of their children is because, of the type of difficult that may be occurring in the marriage. I don’t think a woman should stay in a marriage when her husband is cheating and not supporting his children. I also think that if a marriage is abusive whether verbal or physical they should not stay in those surroundings.  On the other hand one may remain in a difficult marriage because he/she doesn’t have anywhere else to turn. The person may also stay in it the because of religion. One may have also experience the same difficult marriage as a child and think that’s how it should be.
