Her Divorce Story

I sometimes hear from wives who are gearing up to make a last ditch effort to save their marriages. Many times, they are looking for the perfect magical words and phrases to use to tell their husband how sorry they are and to reassure him that things are going to change. Sometimes, they even ask [...]

Yesterday, I received an email from a wife who was in a bit of a panic.  Her husband had told her that he needed “some space,” and some “time apart to think.”  Although she did admit that the marriage had been on shaky ground recently, she did not expect this.  She wanted to know if [...]

I wish that the reality was that couples facing martial problems go into it with both parties on board to work together to save the marriage, but in my experience, that’s rarely the case.

I often write about saving marriages that many believe are irretrievably broken. Sometimes, people write me and ask how they can tell if their spouse is changing their minds about the divorce. They want to know if certain behaviors that they are starting to see are good signs or if they are just seeing what [...]
