By no means do I feel like 'the article' was the sole action that 'saved' my marriage. For one thing, as far as I'm concerned, I'm not "out of the woods" just yet, at least as far as I know. The relative quickness of this "turnaround" is not lost on me.
It's good that you realize this. As you already know, they can change their minds at the drop of a hat.
Like you said, you've been through this before, you know what to expect and what you need to do.
