Parents can simply not love each other anymore without being toxic to each other. I know people who stayed in loveless marriages where they were essentially best friends for years, denying themselves love and passion for the sake of the kids. There is no reason to waste your youth on a loveless marriage, even if it's amiable.
Possibly interestingly I would say it more important for a couple to be best friends than lovers.
At some point in a marriage the passion is going to fade - its what you have to replace it that determines whether you can be happy together thereafter.
