Is Your Marriage In Trouble - What Would Dr. Laura Tell You To Do? By Gail Dotson At Isnare.com Ezine Articles

Over the years, I've seen so many people give up on their marriage because it got a little rocky along the way. It astounds me how easily couples are willing to give up on their marriage without even trying to save the relationship.

That is why I've become a huge fan of Dr. Laura's daily radio show. She has good old-fashioned moral values that are sadly lacking with young couples today. Her advice is good common sense that is always spot on, in my opinion.

She believes in preserving a marriage at all costs if there are children involved. Children need a solid foundation on which to grow up and learn solid moral values themselves. Divorce is so common today, that parents often overlook how traumatic it is on their children. It is a devastating and frightening ordeal for young children and will affect them the rest of their lives. With that in mind, isn't it worth the extra work and effort it may take to save your marriage? I think the answer is a no-brainer. Kids need to feel secure as they are developing. They need that family unit. I cannot overemphasize that enough.

If your marital problems are causing you to be depressed, that is an issue you definitely should address. Women are more likely to seek treatment for depression and negative feelings that may be occurring, such as feelings of hopelessness or worthlessness, although increasing number of men are now seeking therapy sessions.

People who are unhappily married separated or divorced have high rates of major depression. The rates of major depression are considerably lower for those who are happily married. That alone should give you good reason to work on your marriage problems. You should also realize that your depression will seriously impact your children’s lives as well and can wreak havoc in their small and very vulnerable universe.
