Mel RobbinsAmerican author, podcast host and former lawyer who hosts The Mel Robbins Podcast
Robbins suggests asking whether one would want one's own child in a marriage like one's own as a test of whether to stay.
“Would I be excited if my son was married to a person that treated him the way I'm being treated? Yeah. Or would I want him out of it? That's your answer”

Sexton argues that staying married does not protect children; it determines what lesson about marriage they learn.
