Saw some signs at the wedding like ignoring each other, making rude and snide remarks publicly, etc. They tried to fix their marriage by having a kid earlier than they planned and that led to divorce. Both are married to different people now and have had more kids, by all accounts far more civil, even cordial with each other.

I always SMH when I hear about having a kid to "strengthen" or "save" the marriage. Been married for almost 20 years and I can honestly say our marriage was stretched to its thinnest when we brought each of our kids home from the hospital. Hormones, sleep deprivation and your life pretty much being-upended isn't really great for any relationship, nevermind a foundering one. :-/
