We were separated once for six months. I got my own place. We didn't even speak to each other for about two months. I think that helped. We both had time to shake our anger and reflect on what happened. We had time to miss each other. After that, we were able to go on without arguing. However, (Let this be a word of caution to ya.) nothing has changed. Except we don't fight about it anymore.

Yes. We have some years in our marriage (about 11+ years ago) where life had been like living in a pressure cooker. So many bad and stressful things had happened and were happening over about a 7 year period (my life threatening illness, our child's diagnosis, his child and court issues, job changes, moving from state to state, tornado damage, etc., etc.). We were having trouble handling it all. Our marriage was beaten terribly out of shape. We discussed the possibility of ending the marriage. We decided to go to counseling and are we ever glad we did. It only took about 3 months, once a week to get things on the right track. We adore each other (and always have really) and love spending our time together. Our kids are teens now and seem happy and well adjusted. We are a close family and very happy. Thank God we opted to go to counseling and work it out!

Yes. It was done by humbly working on my own failings and shortcomings, patiently waiting for a heart to turn, and being willing to forgive the seemingly unforgivable. It took a decision to love no matter what. It took having a commitment to the marriage even when the other person had none. It took a lot of prayer and faith in God and a commitment to doing right no matter what the outcome. It takes serious work after reconciliation to keep things on the right track. It takes two people both committing to each other and to marriage with no turning back.

I prayed and asked God to help me be a kinder, more committed person and then I rented the "Color Purple" movie with Oprah Winfrey and let him watch that. He was not like that man but he was controlling. When he gave his heart to God and saw some of his traits in that movie, we came back from the brink of divorce. Hang in there!

We were close to getting a divorce because we are both active duty navy and we had been seperated for two years. We were losing trust and love and it was getting almost impossible to stay married. We saw a marriage councelor and it's changed everything. We are better than ever and so far from getting divorced it's unreal.

Nope. When it's gone, it's gone. Resuscitating a corpse is hopeless. As a good friend of mine once said, "The only thing good reheated is stuffed cabbage." And if it included betrayal, it's over for sure....Terminal cancer to a marriage.

Yes, and to make a long story short, it did not work. Too much throwing things up in each others face. Was not worth the verbal fighting when I knew it was over.

Yes, we talked alot and from that point forward we agreed to leave nothing unsaid. Good, Bad or Indifferent. It's really comforting knowing exactly what the other one is thinking.

Yes sort of. My hubby is bipolar and one minute I am the best thing that happened to him, the next I am a money grubbing *****. So he throws me out every so often.
