Dr. Kelly Flanagan's enlightening piece challenges the traditional either-or mindset by suggesting a both-and approach to balancing the importance of marriage and children in a family setting.

Quotes to ponder:
"Our kids should never be more important than our marriage, and they should never be less important. Family is about the constant on-going work of finding the balance."

"Can you imagine a world in which an entire generation of children, when asked 'Who mattered the most in your family?' could sincerely answer, 'We all did.'"
