How much longer in Separated?

[jon2911]

Monumental night last night. A friend heard a lot of hope in my sitch and counseled to try some very specific things with W. This guy actually specializes in helping bring marriages back together. After hearing that we talk 20-30 minutes a night, he offered these steps:

Unconditional Love - do not expect anything in return

Steps
1. Open with prayer

2. Ask her needs, spend 5-10 mins listening. Ask her about her emotions. Her pain. Her tears.

3. Repeat back to her what she said - assurance

"You are my best friend ever"

"I love you"

"I will be there for you no matter what"

4. What is going on in my life, 80% positives

5. Close in prayer


I took a deep breath, prayed and decided to give it a shot. And I can't believe what happened.
