Would you stay married for your children even if you aren't happy ?

I have seen and heard a lot of cases of married couples that they aren't happy, that have lost their love for each other, but they have decided to stay together for their children. Now I believe that doing this is still going to affect the children because they are going to see that their parents aren't happy and they are probably going to think that is their fault.
Now what you think a married couple should do ? Divorce or Stay Together ?

I think that a married couple should exhaust all of their resources before heading to the court house for divorce when children are involved, but if counseling does not work and the relationship is at a cross roads, if all you do is fight then staying to gether will not benefit the child in any way, it will in fact hurt the child worse.

I tried that with my first husband. It was a mistake. That was over 20 years ago and my kids are grown now. Kids are tougher than we think and usually will be better off without all the discord between parents. The key is for the parents to divorce each other but not the kids. The kids need to know that both parents will continue to love them. I would say divorce- staying in an unhappy marriage does no-one any good.
