Do you think Amy and Nick both believed in their marriage?
Do you think Amy and Nick both believe in their marriage at the outset?
This is a tough one. I'm not sure. I think they both are used to acting and not being themselves, thus not investing fully in the marriage. On the other hand, both seemed a little heartbroken over time which suggests the marriage meant something to them. What do you think?

Later on, they both completely lose interest in their marriage hence Amy's desire to get out of it, though in her own twisted way.
In the end, I think that to some extent they regained belief in their marriage in that they understood how to deal with theirs.

The excitement of it all was gone. Nick got bored and Amy, trying so hard finally snapped. Even at the end of the story they worked up so well into hating each other for what they were doing that I think they both became beyond obsessively crazy from all the drama that was happening and trauma they experienced that they felt that what each other did was out of love. Yes, Nick was scared of Amy when she finally came home and he moved back in, but over time it seemed that he justified her actions to rationalize their relationship as normal. People will do anything for love. Which, in that sense, and what she did, no shows no sign of what it means to believe in marriage, a healthy one that is.
