Somebody writing in the Times today has raised an interesting point. With so many people now being forced to spend much of the day at home instead of at their places of work, what will be the result for married couples?
More babies or more divorces?

In our home, I'd say this is the opportunity for family bonding.

@bagarad that should be in the home but I know some kids would be bored to stay indoor the whole day. Parents should be creative.

@Alexandoy And some kids would rather play video games, etc. inside than set foot outside.

As every retired couple knows, it's a hard adjustment when there is no privacy between periods of togetherness. Usually my husband would be making trips to the gym several times a week to swim. I escape to my office to write and shut the door. We've also had more time to adjust to each other's quirks over the years and learned to be more patients and when to keep quiet. That was not true when we were younger and my husband was laid off for several weeks before finding a new job. Being unemployed made him tense and kind of hard to live with. But we got through it.



. For what I heard in China a couple has only to go to a city hall and tell that they want to divorce. Even when a couple agrees it is more long and expensive in Europe.
