In 2012, some of my favorite celebrity couples divorced or are in the process of divorcing. It made me think back to a conversation I had with an older and more experienced mom a long time ago. She said, “It all comes back to your marriage. The best gift you can give to your kids is a happy marriage and a happy home.” I never forgot that statement. So periodically, I’ll be posting suggestions and tips for “date night” and how we can all keep it going for 2013 and beyond!
I agree. I think the worst thing to do is to be in a unhappy home.
This saddens me because I have a friend that is raising her baby with the father of the child and plan to get married.
They never had a connection, still don’t and never will. They fight everyday and there is NO love. Im very concerned for the baby. This is the worst environment to raise a child in.
There is only so much you can do as a friend. I can just hope for the best.
When I was younger, I used to think that it was all about two parent families and I am realizing now there is more to it than that. While, I still think that there are advantages for kids in two parent families, the family actually has to be happy. Raising your child in happy home is probably the most important thing we can do for our children and it probably has more of an impact development than anything. I hope everything works out for your friend and her baby. Thanks for your awesome comment!
