It is very undesirable for a couple to quarrel viciously in front of their children. Even though children may seem to take no notice of what's going on, in fact they do. Through eyes that cannot be shut and through the pores of their delicate skin, children are extremely perceptive to subtle behaviors that they observe and then imbibe. Let us always bear this in mind.
