Yup, all the more reason why you should know who you are marrying and not be miserable.
Remember, the kids don't choose who you decide to conceive them with, they are stuck with it. Parents on the other have the opportunity to change the rules as they go along.
And misery is a choice. You can get along with anyone if you try hard enough.
And there you have it! We sometimes don't agree, I have noticed. But we are in line on this one.
The MARRIAGE is the core, kids are, for lack of a better word, byproducts. Don't slam me for the terminology. I have 4 kids plus 2 stepkids. When the kids steer the marriage, the marriage is over. For all practical purposes.
