Is it a good idea to have a child to save a marriage?

Live Mint  

Even in 2024, the age-old advice given to a couple in a troubled marriage is “have a child and everything will be sorted”. The assumption that a child will save a marriage is still deeply embedded in our psyche even now. The obsession with saving the marriage, coupled with the assumption that bringing a child into the world would be the best solution, is unfair to both the couple and the child. I urge parents, and anyone who gives this advice to a couple struggling to be together, to think about the child, who they are recommending to be brought into a troubled situation.
