Divorced-not done-But wondering ?

[JJAC2005]

I wanted to see/know if you had any statistics on remarrying your ex spouse?
I read somewhere that the statistics for divorce are (approx.) 52% for the 1st, 64%for the 2nd, and 73% for 3rd marriages….but the odds for a successful reunification with your former spouse shot up to a 74% chance of success, based on both partners doing their own work, changes and healing prospectively, as well as having a strong love bond to reconnect with.
Do you have any ideas, thoughts and or resources for this type of reconciliation?

Well, this weekend was filled with all sorts of interesting coincidences…
I had a faith filled weekend retreat….scheduled as a “Christ Renews” weekend, which was overflowing with personal testimony on how God and faith brought people thru various difficulties.
I have been exploring joining the Catholic Church since early January, and during this lent season it has been a particularly meaningful event for me.
There is a lot of correlation between the reconciliation with God, and within our relationships…. particularly my past marriage.
I see the need for forgiveness to be extended, asked for, internalized and utilized in every aspect of my ex’s actions over the past several months with any of my genuine efforts to maintain any sort of civility between us, and my efforts to maintain a relationship with my step-children.
It is almost as if God is playing a hand in any of my reconnecting efforts currently…he is either letting me know that…(1) I’m not in a place solid enough for reconnecting with my ex yet….(2) My ex is not in a place that she needs to be to reconnect with yet….or… (3) The entire reunion isn’t meant to be?
We all search for the answer…we all long to hear what we want to hear…and when it come to the unknown factors that be, we baulk at giving up control……and for any of you that are in a similar boat as I am….I have one little piece if advice for you in the form of a prayer.
God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.

Sometimes word really hit the mark!
Amen.
