[QUOTE="Mountain Man, post: 196867, member: 14411"] Great point. I am a psychotherapist and I see so many couples that lose the focus in their marriage and stay together just for the kids. What tends to happen is that the lack of sexual connection either morphs into something they are both ok with, or the couple suffer when it’s back to just the two of them and all the years of built up resentment leads to one or both not caring enough to stay together. Some do stay, remaining miserable the rest of their life. The couple changes from lovers, to parents, to roommates. Some couples accept it and are ok with it, others end up miserable and blame the other. Each in the couple is responsible for themselves and these issues need to be discussed at all levels and stages of the marriage. Plenty of marriages end late and some are unfulfilling for the duration. The 10 year mark is even less impressive to the couple if they have children because it isn’t all about the couple at that stage, it is about the family. Family moves on, different ballgame for sure.
