The people I know that had really rocky marriages benefited from a move to another state, another city. Sometimes it really is a toxic environment (work, friends, other influences) more so than a poisoned relationship. One dude couldn't NOT talk about his wife every time we
went out after work, but they moved out to LA, now they're good.
