What does it mean to stay for the children?

This entry describes staying for the children as the stated reason for remaining in a marriage one or both people would otherwise leave. It lists what that reason does not settle: how the children live with the conflict, what each adult is waiting for, and whether the stay is a plan or a delay.

What this entry does not do

It does not say parents should stay or should leave, and it is not a safety plan for a household where someone is being harmed.
