So the work it stable...being involved at church will add stability and regularity for the kids I would think. IC helps you with your personal stability.

And you're the one being stable for the kids.

I read a book once and forgot everything (including the title!) that was in it except for one quote that went something like this: "Marriage is not as much about finding the right person as it is about being the right person."

I think it fits nicely with 'be the kind of person only a fool would leave.'
