«Some things are not necessary, but the unity of marriage is
a treasure that cannot be put at risk. In times when we do not have
these feelings, when the years go by and we discover each other’s
faults, it is necessary to rely on the willpower, on the love for each
other and for the children. Children who have parents that are not
separated are already have half of their future secured. When you see
the progress of a marriage like this, you realize that it is worth the
struggle to achieve this unity» .
