The couple seemed very healthy, but there were red flags. Couples shouldn’t hide their problems – they should seek therapy before things get worse.
The couple’s split is very recent, as a judge signed their divorce papers on June 6. After years of relying on each other while juggling the rather daunting tasks of parenthood, they have called it quits. Perhaps the pressures of raising so many children got to them. There are only so many hours in a day, and just relaxing together and laughing was probably next to impossible. Date nights probably weren’t too common. Children are wonderful, but parenting is very hard work.
