If our marriage would have survived without treatment?

No, I don't think so.

I don't think so.

I don't think it would have survived.

I have a friend that's been married for 30 years

to a Viet Marine Corpsman, and he's been in treatment,

and she's having a hard time right now.

So, I can't really say our marriage -- I mean, I didn't want

to get married to begin with [laughs], but he insisted,

and it's been the best thing that's ever happened to me.

But I don't know if it would've survived, it would have been

pretty rough [laughs] if he hadn't had treatment.
