Saving a marriage and saving mental health shouldn't be at odds. If someone has to choose between a marriage and their mental health then their marriage can't be saved. It would be doomed to fail.

A marriage should be the priority if there are children unless one of the parents is abusive towards the children That is the entire function of marriage is raising children people might do it for other reasons but the actual function is to create a stable way to raise children Once you have a child you're not the priority If the child is being abused that is the best reason to end the marriage All other reasons must be weighed against the damage it will do to the children
