I have a friend who keeps hanging on the marriage because of children. She fights with her husband almost everyday. But, the worst is every time she wants to get divorce, her husband asks her not to do so because of children. I wonder is children a kind of glue that can tight married no matter how hard the relationship is? Do the parents realize the impact of this kind of relation?

yes they it's true to be together because of children. Children need both of their parents to grow up normally. But if they stay together because of children, they should try not to fight when children can see it. After being together for years love is going away in many families, but it doesn't mean they should divorce. They should try to be together because of their children, to give them future that they deserve. Because I think the main idea of our lives is to do everything for our countries, and to grow up children so that they can do everything for their(our) countries.

These parents aren't doing their children any favors by staying together in this kind of situation. They are not good role models as far as what a good relationship is and the children will most likely grow up to be in unhappy relationships as well. It would be healthier for the children for the fighting parents to separate and live apart so that they can show their children examples of happy lives and kindness.
