What about the innocent children?. Their needs should come above all others when they are still children.

As I said, childrens needs should come first. Not the personal lives of their parents.

Well as a mother myself I fail to see how forcing two people to drag a dead marriage around serves the needs of the children.  Children are happiest when their parents are happy.  The majority of children damaged by being the product of a broke home is due to the rancor and spite between the divorced parents, and is no greater that than the damage that would be done by the slow errosion of respect between parents forced to live a lie.  Wasn't that part of the whole message of BBM.  They lie hurts EVERYONE! No one is untouch least of all the not the children.

Well as a kid who grow up in a broken home I will say that two parents who  are mature enought to put their differences aside and concentrate on bringing up ther kids are much better off. Most people who get married take the vows "forsake all others, for better for worse" something that should not be taken lighty. It's unfortunate that with  todays divorce rate at over 50% far to many people do. If the two people making those vows decide they no longer want to thats one thing, however the  children those two have created, way different, its breaking up a  family.
What a mandoes in the Rabbiis story is keep his commitments. stay in the home and raise his famiy, putting his childrens needs before their own. Ennis did try and do this although not as well as he could have.
