In my heart I know if my ex and I put our efforts we could save our marriage. Does it take 1 or 2 people to make it work? This may sound stupid but if anyone saw the movie "Fireproof" you would know where I’m coming from.

    In that movie, they both worked to destroy the marriage, the husband more so than the wife. It was when the husband owned up to his side of the problem and showed the wife he was serious about changing that she reconsidered and they both decided to make it work.

    It takes two in the long run, but in "Fireproof", when the husband changed his behavior, it gave the wife a chance to change hers as well.

    You could do everything on your side to show your commitment. If he still walks away then you know you did everything in your power to save the marriage and make it better. If he allows your actions to affect him, his barriers may come down and he may decide to give it another good try.

    Common sense says : 2.

  3. mimi Says :

    i truly believe it takes 2 to save a marriage. but it can take 1 to make the first move to save the marriage, because if both person are stubborn then it can take 1 to make the move, but at the end of the day, they both have to want this, or it wont work.

    I tried desperately to save my 24 year marriage…he didn’t try at all. We’ve been divorced since 2005.

    Does that answer your question?

  5. Helen S Says :

    It takes two people to make a marriage work. They both have to want it badly enough,

  6. punchbuggy Says :

    Takes 2 people and hard work

  7. Keith Says :

    IT takes 2 unless there is only 1 person to blame for its failure.
    For example, if the husband works and comes home everyday and the wife just nags at him even though he’s trying to make her happy, then it’s up to the wife to show some love and respect her husband.

    No sweetie it takes both of you .
    You can want it all you like but if he dont ??
    You may aswell call it a day .

    It takes two. Think of the marriage as a canoe being paddled across a lake. If just one person is paddling on one side of the canoe, how well will it travel across that lake? Sure, the one person paddling can switch the oar from one side to the other and back, but s/he is doing all the work.

  10. NICKY Says :

    It takes 2

  11. KAL Says :

    It definitely takes 2 – both must want it to be saved.

    However, sometimes it takes 1 "to get the ball rolling." However, if the 1 tries and the other does not join in, then it will not ever work.

  12. Marilyn Says :

    it could work even if the other has 1%, build on that.

  13. Sue C Says :

    Honey, marriage is like a team. You need BOTH on the same team pulling in the same direction in order to make things happen. If one person is going to do all the work, the other is doing nothing, you’re just not going to have the full support of the whole team working together. IF you’re both working twds. the SAME goals, pulling in the same direction, together you CAN make things happen, IF he’s willing to do his 1/2 of the work on it you’ll then have 100% support instead of 50%. So you need BOTH of you working twds. the very same things, the same goals in order to win in the game of life, the "game" of marriage. YES, it CAN be done if you BOTH give it your all. You’ll BOTH come out winners…best to you…:)

    2

  15. Enticing_Raspberry Says :

    All relationships take two to make it work.

  16. Rudi A Says :

    Takes two to save a marriage,but only 1 to start.

  17. Chanda Lynn *mommy to be* Says :

    It takes 2 people to save a marriage.

  18. MissE Says :

    It takes two to tango but one to make the first move.
    If one makes the first move and the other does not move then things cannot be worked out. Communication is a two-way street. And not one announcer and one receiver.
    That means it takes two to make things work.
