A very good article on why encouraging bad marriages to continue is a bad plan.

Professor Kelly Musick and Dr Ann Meier of Cornell University have carried out a study of children whose parents stay together for the sake of the kids. We all know some: parents who can't stand each other, but have made a hard-headed decision to stay together nonetheless. They are exactly the kind of people who would be glued back together by Cameron's policies if they succeeded in their goal.

It turns out their children do worse than any other group - including those of divorcees or single mums.

While it is only one study, I believe further investigation will only support the conclusions.
