Type, “Can One Spouse Save a Marriage?” into Google and in less than a quarter of a second it returns over two million links. Some lead to articles, others to “sure fire” products that promise to solve all marriage problems, and others to blogs that say one can and others that say one cannot.
Employing the slightest logic proves that one spouse cannot save a marriage. If a marriage involved only one person, then one person could save it. By its very definition, marriage is a bond between two people.
Therefore if one leaves the bonds, the marriage is over–no matter how much the remaining spouse wants their marriage to continue.
Should the spouse wanting to save a marriage then give up all hope? Absolutely not.
