Will having a baby make a couple stay together?

Hardly ever. Having a baby just brings more problems and worries to an already troubled situation. It wouldn't be fair to the baby to even consider having him or her for this reason. Just look around at all the couples you know who have split up. Most of them have children. I guarantee you, if children made the difference, the divorce rate would be much lower than it is.

This certainly isn't true. I was having problems with my ex and we had another baby and we still split up. It did temporarily make us closer but the problems were still there. Certainly having a baby to try and fix things when you don't already have any children would be a big mistake.
