"kids generally weaken marriages"

What is the basis of such a sweeping generalization?

I am aghast at such an utterly irresponsible statement to a writer who bravely bared her soul with truth and honesty to be smacked with such unfounded undocumented advice.

I have nothing but pride and warmth for my children and what they have done and the people they have become, and what is most essential is to see the beautiful traits of my partner reflected in them - nothing could make me happier nor more humble.

Your attitude toward children may be something that 'you do not like to admit,' but do not speak for all from your pulpit of one.
