All for one reason - their children!

That's dumb.

I wish my parents didn't stay together. If they just divorced when their relationship first got violent, I'm sure I wouldn't be so screwed up.

considering size differences and the fact that there really isn't a system for divorce in the majority of Indian faiths that's a rather poor comparison

In the Marines any one who gets married his first term of service is highly likely to go 1. AWOL (Absent With Out Leave), 2. Divorce, 3. Both

young marines tend to be in that 20-24 range but after that first term Marines marriges tend to stay there

This kind of situation happens. Perhaps for the benefits of their children. Most parents do not wish their seperation will affect their children's life. Thus, they are together to work things out. All for one reason - their children!

Divorce rates in the US have actually gone down over the last couple years, because people are skipping the marriage part and just moving in together. I don't know if that's an improvement, but it's a fact.
