Should a woman or man keep the marriage for children when love already gone?

If you are in a marriage for over 10 years and have two children. The marriage was originally made for practical reasons without true love,and actually the couple have stopped making love for 4 years. The only reason to keep this marriage going is kids- not to hurt their feeling. Now you fall in love with another woman/man, what will you do? keep the marriage for kids or divorce for someone you fall in love?

That's a tough question. Years ago a couple stayed married no matter what. Now, divorce seems the thing to do with 1 out of every 2 marriages ending in divorce. It's a shame. But if the couple is truly unhappy, then it cant be healthy for the kids to see that daily either. A hard decision to divorce may have to be made.

Hi, i think that the problem it's the kids. The love it's important but the kids are more important than the love. If you fall in love for someone and he/she will leave you alone after 1 week/1 month or 1 year what you've done ? Nothing because your kids grown up without you and when they grown up they forget you. So be a good parent and a good partner and keep your family close.
