I understand the kids want to get together but ask yourself do you? remember what it was that seperated you, and think weither or not it was a real reason or a reason that could be solved with effort, because if your serious about getting back together your gonna have to work hard. now think.....
1. call her and discuss the situation-it might be hard for you, or it might not be. but first you need to be on the same page.
2. talk to your kids and tell them about your thoughts of getting back with mom. kids don't like to be left out and it's important for them to be clued in.
3. go out privately with mom and see if everything falls into place. was there the same magic as their was before the seperation, but remember there must be magic for her as well. if so proceed to step 4.
4.make sure she feels the same way then make arrangements for maybe you guys moving back in together for a weekend. did you expierence the same problems as before?
5. if everything went well move back in together and spend a weekend alone together to settle back in with eachother. then do everything as you used before you began expierencing problems.
I hope I helped, good luck. Casey, kisses.

Hi tigerman. I apologise Tigerman but before I answer your quetion I just would like to state that a lot of people who have answered have only pin pointed on your relationship with your wife. This is not the case as there is a family involved here. Why do people not read the question properly? if they have no answer then go to another section, bad advice can be damaging one way or another. Anyway back to your question. One way is to continue to do what your doing now and that is keeping the communication open. You give no reason as to why you fell out over the step children or how long this has been going on for. But the first family law is that a paternal parent will protect their siblings no matter what the cost. You could discuss what happened with the children and how you can make amends with them. I take it that you have no children so you could explain that you are inexperienced with children, you made a mistake and want to rectify the situation. The emphasis on this is not to make to much of an issue, swallow your pride and apologise not only to the mother and wife, but to the children asking for there help become a better and understanding parent than you have been in the past. I'm not suggesting that you did anything drastically wrong, but it must have been something to have caused the breakdown of the marriage. If you love her then do the right thing not only as a husband but a step father. Good luck.....David

There are steps you can take to actually build a strong, stable marriage and avoid divorce. Read here https://tr.im/OVgRo
Here are some key steps to apply to your marriage:
- Start by understanding and being informed.
You can never be too informed about tools, methods and studies about building successful marriages. Understand the risk factors like your age and maturity at marriage can determine how successful it will be, the anatomy of an affair and what you can do after infidelity. Understand the success factors like the personal and psychological circumstances that will influence your marriage, what are the tools and approaches available to you in dealing with conflict, and numerous other relevant data. All this information is readily available to you whether through self-help material, through a counselor, support group or other venues. In fact, we have made it our commitment to provide these to you in different formats to help you make the best marriage you can.
The thing is, remember, this is information is not available for you to begin hyper-psychoanalyzing your relationship, yourself and your partner. It's not a matter of spewing trivia for the sake of conversation ' information is there for you to ponder over and internalize to help you transform yourself and your marriage. That includes maturing to such a point that you become more competent in your knowledge but more prudent in approach.

Sometimes, letting go seems like the easiest thing to do. But think about this: you've invested so much of your time and energy into another person; you've made a solemn promise; and you still know there's love, even if it's hiding underneath the surface. This website will show you how to save a marriage and avoid divorce, even if you're the only one trying https://tr.im/VtHvK

From a woman's point of view' we like alot of talking , we are big on details. and explanations ..Ask her out on a date ....make sure she feels like you want her and that your interested in her and her alone..call her for no reason than just to hear her voice..give her , her favorite flower with a simple thinking of you card.. tell her how much you have missed her while you have been apart, and that it has been miserable for you ...Tell her you miss her smile , the way she smells , the way she laughs ...ect...
share you heart more than before draw her closer...
give her unexpected hugs and just hold her... play with her like she was your best friend ... bring her what you know to be her favorite 'treat' every once in awhile... and we love when you smile at us ! those knock me off my feet joyful smiles..
I could write a book here my friend but I will stop ... good luck to you ...I hope all goes well for you and her...
20 years and five children just gone for me and it's a sad ending that I am going thru and I saw your question and I thought of all the things I wish he would do for me .......but for me there is no hope ...

Tell her if she doesnt trust you to discipline them and she isnt going to make them behave then it is over.No step parent should be a door mat for the step kids, but also he sh/she should never abuse the duty of discipling them when they ened it.
If thats what the problem is.You didnt give much detail about it.However you might suggest counseling.

Give her space, don't push it or rush her. I would try to 'date' her again. Show her you mean business by giving her room to breathe and think but inbetween that take her out for lunch or dinner, don't try anything! Respect her feelings and when you think the time is right ask her if she would talk to you about things and really listen to her without getting angry or arguing. Talk and listen you have to find some common ground and a compromise if necessary. I assume they are her children? If so you may have to agree to disagree and talk about where you go from here.

talk, talk, talk that is I can say. You have to resolve the issues that you had together and then take it one step at a time. Find a solution to stop the situation escalating again.
