  • It takes one to tango... hope for your marriage article   Most people believe that it takes two dedicated people to make a troubled marriage have any chance of success. Michele Weiner-Davis, internationally known relationship expert and author of the best selling book Divorce Busting, disagrees.  She believes if just one partner will "tango" there is hope for a marriage.
