I don't think it's necessarily bad itself, especially depending upon the reason for the divorce (if it is to get rid of an abusive parent, I'd say that it's almost definitely a good thing) but in general, it's better to have a healthy home situation as opposed to an unhealthy one. Losing a parent, or having to constantly change homes, or to just go through a change from two parents to one can be very stressful and troubling for children, especially younger ones.

there are a ton of factors that would/could differ from each situation. overall...its probably bad. but i think the whole idiotic concept of marriage is more to blame. a child thats raised by 2 worthy adults, being separated from the start can turn out just good as a kid raised by unseparated married couple. when it comes to divorce, the father usually gets it the worse. but hey, the dumb fuck deserves it for getting married and not pulling out.

I do not mind that you believe the concept of marriage is more to blame for divorce situations, however it's certainly not idiotic "... the one thing men CANNOT do, is bear children, and the one thing women CANNOT do is day after day of actual HARD manual labour. so marriage was created, to trade our surplus labour for you're ability to bear children."

The debate is primarily concerned with how the divorcing of parents will affect their child mentally. There is nothing that implies a concern over any kids marrying each other within this discussion. As for my argument, although there are many factors that are dependent on the specific situation, it's generally bad for young children to experience one. Side: bad for kids
