Kenneth and Carla, a married couple, were initially in love. However, they grew emotionally apart over the years, but have decided to remain together for the sake of their children. Identify, and explain the type of marriage present in this scenario
What will be an ideal response?
This scenario is an example of a devitalized marriage. In a devitalized marriage, the partners were deeply in love when they married. As the years go by, they spend time together—raising the children, entertaining, and meeting community responsibilities—but begin to do so out of obligation rather than love. They get along and, as a result, don't want a divorce. One or both partners may be unhappy, but they are both committed to staying married.
