Quote:
if no reasonable effort is made to maintain a healthy relationship


I didn't say I'd run out the door if I didn't like things. But if I work and work, with all of the knowledge that I have gained here about communication and relationships and emotional issues, and there is NO REASONABLE EFFORT being made by my spouse, I'd be gone. I obviously would give time and serious effort before determining that there is no hope.

A reasonable effort is what makes the difference.
