I really think it depends how you define success. IMO in EVERY thread (or situation) you can find success stories of individuals. People who have improved, become better people/friends/parents/siblings and have expanded their knowledge base and interests. I define that as a success.. especially when so much of this takes place during a major life crises.
If you are asking of the MAJORITY of marriages are "saved" I would say no, they are not. There are some but I bet even the people who saved their marriages would say they had to look to themselves first.
I didn't save my marriage but I did overcome (or am working to be totally free of it) a panic disorder. I went back to school. Totally revamped my business. Made lots of new friends and learned more than I ever thought possible about myself and R's in general AND survived to tell about it.
As I said...it's all about how you define success IMO.
