Would there be a bigger benefit to the children to?

I grew up in a home where parents stayed together until we were in college then divorced. They didn't fight outwardly so much, but my dad was not faithful and was caught a couple times when we were teenagers. Our lives were less affected than some in that situation.

My wife and I have had our problems while our kids were growing up. We've been in counseling nearly a year and a half now and are in a much better place and our sons are now both teenagers. Hopefully we've turned the corner toward solving our issues for good and have saved our marriage.

To me that's the key. We've both had to change, because we were both at fault. Our kids saw us stick it out, make changes for each other that hopefully keep us together and happy. We've talked with them about the mistakes we've made. I am hoping those lessons and the memory of how much better things are as a result of us working it out makes it the right choice for us ... and for them.
