Actually, I think the stats bear out that kids do better if their parents were married and divorced than if they never married. People mature really quickly when they are forced to be responsible.

In my case the stat is true.My husband's parents were divorced when he was young.He was the oldest and looked out for his younger siblings.We were married when we were both 18,and I believe his maturity is the reason we are celebrating 35 years of marriage today.

Congratulations! We will celebrate 33 this year. It has gone by so fast, and I cannot imagine having spent those years with a better person! We need to celebrate long term marriages instead of the garbage that Hollywood throws at us daily. (a little off topic, but I couldn’t help myself). :)
