only if they BOTH work at it. You need to review the major reasons you were so close to divorce, and the key factor(s) that made you both decide to cancel it. Obviously, there is SOMETHING there which, like a small spark, can again blaze into a big love fire. Both of you needed to ask yourselves the "Dear Abby" question:
"Am I better off with or without my current mate?" Since you both know each other's answers, you know what to do, and the chances are, since you both answered WITH to the above, the chances are better that it can last.

Id think so.. it takes alot to realize that theres a problem and although they got close to giving up they chose not to.. they chose to fight for their marriage rather then give up on it.. so i think that show alot of character about both of them.. Marriage is hard.. there are days that u want to throw in the towel.. but tomorrow is always another day, and anything worth having takes work, and if 25 years from now the couple is still together , they will look back at this moment and laugh...I think any couple that is willing to go above and beyond to save their marriage has more of a chance of surving then any other marriage.. anyone that has been married for 25 years or more that says they never had problems is a lying.., marriage is one of the hardest commitments to keep, and takes alot of love, patience, courage, repect, strength and preserverance.. to last..

Probably not. If they were talking about divorce and then cancel the divorce plans, it must have been serious problems in the marriage. They may stay together until the kids are grown or until parents die or until one of them has a better career but I doubt that they will stay together until death.

We talking about this the other day in one of my grad school classes. My professor said that studies indicate that if a couple was seperated, then their chances of staying together are very low. He also said that if a couple actually divorces and gets back together in the future that the chances of the marriage working are less than 10%.

No. The chance of them getting divorced in the future is greater than their chance of lasting till death.

Their chances are as good as any other couple. The biggest point, is that they are willing to work at keeping their marriage together and that is half the battle. Too many people give up too easily these days. Marriage is very hard work and something that is worth saving is worth putting forth a lot of effort.

Yes, if they choose to stay married it should be because they still love each other and want to work it out.

Yes, assuming they are communicating and trust one another. Have self confidence and know how to forgive..
