Honestly I don't think it is luck.

It is a pride issue.

For them to actually be able to say I screwed up and I want to come home.....is HUGE!!

Many times they feel that too much damage has been done and they will never be able to be forgiven for their bad behavior.

Even when my Husband decided to come home again it took him another 6 months to actually do it.

There can be no testimony without a test.
I am praying to go through this test and come out the other end with a new and better marriage then before.
