I think we did even though both of our parents were divorced.

Not at all, but it motivated us to be better.

I think we each did and didn't in certain ways. Most importantly though, is that we can choose to follow the good examples of those we grew up with, and choose not to repeat the mistakes that we've seen those same people make.

Not our parents, but grandparents were very good.

No! My parents both divorced and remarried like it was nothing special and his parent divorced when he was young. Maybe the both of us seeing that has helped make us stronger and understand the importance of staying together and being a family!

Yes

I never really thought about it until I was old enough to appreciate it. Now I think back and my grandparents always did chores together and were romantic even after 60 years. I love that.

No. I never saw a working relationship growing up. I never even saw my divorced mother date. I had a couple friends that had both parents but it always seemed "leave it to beaver" tv-ish. Never thought you would have to work at a relationship.

I believe my partner did, I love watching how close her parents are, I am amazed that after 25 years together they still cuddle and hold hands. My parents were not very good role models for a relationship, they stayed together for "us kids" but their unhappiness with their relationship spilled over to us growing up.

Yes I think so, if you take into consideration the generational gap

Yes, i think so.

No. I grew up with a family that was acrimonious toward each other and did not show affection.

No, but it made us realize we had to work hard to keep our marriage working.

Yes we did.

Bahaha...no way! My family is so disfunctional. That's probably why I'm 28 and still haven't figured my shit out.
