IB,

Unfortunately, we are but few here, with at least half of marriages ending in divorce in the U.S. that includes all ages. It's no wonder in our 'throw away' society where if you don't like something, you get rid of it away and get a new one. Very few stop to think that maybe with some work on both parts that something old could be new again and worth saving.

What I think is unique and special about those that come to these boards is that they are looking for ways to save a marriage, compared to how many marriages end without much effort at saving it.

At least for most of those that take the time and interest to come here to try to save their marriage, end up saving themselves, and that IMO is the real success of these boards.
