The "stability" I referred to , is different from the sense in which these professionals are using it. they are referring to a "stormy" setup, whereas I am referring to stability in a more generic sense i.e in terms of the couple eventually going separate ways. Basically I am talking about the viability of the union itself rather than the presence/absence of domestic "peace". The advise of these professionals is based on the view that it is not advisable to raise kids in a vitiated and environment. however it is often seen that after couples have kids , things tend to settle down and a lot of the storminess goes away.

Possible.
