However, about needing BOTH to be committed to the relationship, I believe this may cause frustrated expectation - each waiting for the other to make the change! I believe the relationship can still be salvaged, even if ONE is Committed, while the other is at least Neutral! Cheers. Hi ktangers

If I say I want this relationship (or anything for that matter) to work and believe I can do what it takes to do it, then I am more likely to indeed do what it takes. Stuart Yes.

Too often people rush to "greener pastures" without fixing the problems that got them into trouble in the first place. A marriage can only be saved if the two people in it are committed to caring enough to make the changes that are necessary. Too often is easy to blame the other person for the problems rather than do the hard work it takes to work out solutions.
