Very good post my friend....You have come a long way from the day OP and I pulled you out of newcomers...a long way;

[/quote]In the end, your success is defined by your choices and how they align with your core.[quote]
That statement is the truth of human life. Whether it is in marriage, friendships, or business ventures. We are each unique and special individuals who need to be who we are. Who we are is addressed by our core principles and off of those principles we develop values that ensure we live by our principles. The irony of that is marriages cause change that lead us to hide our principles to maintain a happy relationship.
The truth though is.....we shouldn't have to hide our principles to be married. A marriage should be a celebration of those principles......or two sets of principles joined together equally to create a better world for both spouses.
In the end an LBS needs to do only one thing to succeed (and that is not defined by saving the marriage) and that is to listen to the advice of others, but to follow the core principles in our heart. Following that route, which we define, will always find the right road for us to follow.
