what is your perception of people who claim to have “saved” each other through their relationship?

Read an article this morning on two celebrities that went like this:
Him”She saved me”
Her “We saved each other”
So, people still think like this? I think of it as codependency. I don’t think we can save other people and vice versa. I think we can work on ourselves and improve, though.
But, then I think, if these people believe they are happy, who am I to judge? if they’re not hurting anyone?
What do you think of the concept of saving and being saved in relationships?

      @Lucifer Rising some people believe they were depressed or unhappy with their lives, or that they were not doing well in life, not living to the fullest, and that someone came along and saved them from all that. That is what I gathered from these two celebrities, but I have come to believe that we can only save ourselves and sometimes not even that!

    I don’t think anyone can “save” another person. Just like no one can change you. You have to change yourself. You have to live your own life. It is nice to share live and living with another —– but that other did not “save” you.

      @ladybarbara yes, that is what I think. I think I used to believe and want to save others, but now I recognize it as poppycock. Me and my beau were just discussing this the other day that neither of us saved each other, and that is a good thing.
