I wish I knew exactly....I believe it is because I did exactly what she asked me to do....gave her "time and space"....and I used that time to work on myself! I set goals using the acronym SPIES....in the areas of:

  • Spiritual - Read my bible daily...and other books like Max Lucado's "Facing Your Giants
  • Physical - Exercised daily....lost 70 lbs
  • Intellectual - quit watching TV...replaced it with other books
  • Emotional - Focused on my old "bad" behaviors...being needy, clingy, moody, pouty, etc...Mostly dealt with this on my knees
  • Social - established a new network of friends and spent my time GAL

Notice that none of these have anything to do with my W....I think God did a work in her...while he was doing a work in me. I know we all want to know what we can do to "FIX" our spouses. Sometimes the best thing we can do for them is fix ourselves. Hope this helps!
