Preferred term

staying married for children  

Definition

  • Although the stigma of divorce has lessened in recent years, families dealing with divorce have a history of being viewed as complicated environments or flawed social structures by media, mental health professionals, and the public. This view, depending on a couple's situation, may have a significant influence on the decision to stay in a marriage for the sake of the children.
