I post to celebrate. A year ago today, my wife dropped the bomb on me. Two months later, we were back together, only to have her drop it, on me, again a few months more down the road. For the past six and half months we have been separated, but then, something happened. I give all the credit to God, but in the process, I want to share that applied, along the way, was a lot of divorce busting principles, Ed Wheat's Married Life for Every Couple, and much more. Let's put it this way: it's been an incredible journey. For those into the nuts and bolts, just before my wife filed papers to divorce me, she took some time to think things over. In her words, after the separation, she had moved on with her life, and I was in the past. But then, she stopped, and considered some things...and what she saw, was a man who had been changed. You're right, divorce busting means changing the way we interact with our partner, because at the heart of divorcebusting is the change that takes place in us. It is the finding of who we really are. As my wife says, it's amazing how two people can lose each other in the course of a marriage. I encourage others, perserve, don't give up. And no matter what happens, celebrate you, and the changes that have led you to find you, the real you, the you you need to be for yourself...in finding that person in me, my wife was able to fall in love with that person who she first had fallen in love with. Most of all, I found me. Yes, there's still a lot of work ahead, but it's well worth it. Last night, we went and picked out a ring together, to symbolize our new beginning. Today, as I reflect back with what has transpired in the past year, I marvel at it all, and what God has done, is doing, and will do. I'm celebrating that...and wanted to celebrate it with my fellow divorcebusters, too. As you apply the various principles of divorcebusting, may you discover the real you, and live out the adventure of being who you really are!

If you do decide to post over in the Newcomers section, it might help to know what in particular seemed to work for you during the past year. Although everyone's situation is different and one person's path may not work for another, it might help us consider something that we haven't thought of.
Again, great to hear a success story as we approach Christmas and the New Year.
Great inspiration...I am slowly finding the new me, or should I say the me that has been lost somewhere.It is wonderful to hear about your success. I have found that God has plans for us all, and a reason for sending us on this journey to rediscover ourselves and our marriage. Sue
