They have been married for 6 years prior to filing for divorce. However, now (11 months into a year manadatory separation) they are thinking of getting back together. Are there any statistics on the success rates of this reconciliation? Does dating other people during the separation impact the success rate?

Forget statistics, the only way a reconciliation can work is if both couples fully understand the problems they had prior to seperation and are commmited to working through it or have worked through it. cheers

Not sure of the stats, but I would be shocked if it worked out. At some point all the negativity that caused the divorce in the first place will creep back, and then they are right back to square one again. I can see the situation though. I remained friends with an ex-wife, and there have been times where I thought it could work, but quickly woke up. Some people are way better friends than they are spouses.

I don't know of any statistics but I think they may be irrelevant anyhow because it all depends upon the situation and the people involved. They should get some counseling if they are thinking of getting back together to figure out what made them file for divorce in the first place. It may be that it was a stupid reason for filing for the divorce and dating others during the separation may remind one or both of what they are losing as opposed to what they would gain by the divorce.

Sorry, but I don't have any statistics. I can tell you my ex and I reconciled after an 8 month separation but too much damage had been done. I have known couples who realize they can't live without each other and DO make it work.
I would guess that dating would decrease the chances of it working.

Any marriage counselor will tell you that people fall in and out of love with each other. You have to stick through the bad times and enjoy the good times. Unless there's abuse than get out and move on. I have a friend that went through the same thing and now his marriage is stronger because they have learned to respect each others opinions instead of blowing them off.

I don't think they should listen to what the success rate is because it will put an opinion in the back of their mind. They should look at just their particular situation and move forward with a positive outlook, saying "we are going to make it work!" Don't look at other people's situation because everyone is different.

One of the most common questions spouses ask when confronting a marriage crisis is this: How can I save my marriage if my partner doesn't want to help find a solution? How do I succeed I am trying to save my marriage on my own? Learn here https://tr.im/QiNVW
It is a typical enough story: one partner leaves, the other stays. One remains 'in love', the other is uncertain. Whatever it is that has caused a couple to be apart, the one person who remains bears the prospect, fear, doubt, desire, hope of saving his or her marriage' alone.

This is retarded,
Theres no percentage that can measure that. Its a marriage between two people that should love each other, and your letting a number factor in.. Obviously your not doing it for love, just seems like you are feeling obligated. Seriously if you love that person, Know you love them, not base it on math. Dont base it on the numbers game, if you do it this way your only doing an injustice to yourself and your partner. Love is the key, and if its not there than whats the point. Numbers.. percentages dude... thats disturbs me.. keep letting lawyers make money by asking questions like that.
