As noted in the initial post, the sociologist Durkheiem did show that people living with a partner and children were less inclined to suicide. But I wouldn't build an advice from it. In a similar way, I've seen a few couples making a baby in order to patch their vanishing relationship. It never ended well. I've also known two fathers that ended their life despite the love of their wives and children. Having a family reduces the rate of suicide, but it also increase its potential damage. I don't think it should be recommended as a therapy.
