Once again ---I respectfully --but totally disagree with Braveheart's analysis of MLC. Yes --short-term you do not see many turn arounds with the MLC spouse --in fact they look to be getting worse or certainly no better. However all of us keep forgetting that MLC in many ways is a second puberty --and if you will remember puberty can take a long time to complete. Yes, I know of one spouse who returned home after four years and was fine --but many others seem to take far longer --depending on their inner issues. And of course we are talking about MLC'ers who were of decent character before they started this journey back to youth. Otherwise MLC will simply compound the loose values that were already there.

The deeper the issues the longer the time it takes for them to be resolved. That's why it takes guidance from above to keep the left behind spouse focused on this long and difficult path.

For those of you who are still standing for your spouse ---stay encouraged.
