I Want My Wife Back - I Do not Want Divorce

By Kim Sanchez

Do you know that 50% percent of first marriages, 67% of second and 74% of third marriages end in divorce? This is a sad fact, but you have to realize that there is still a way to prevent divorce when your marriage is on the rocks.

Humans are just not perfect. We screw up a lot of times in our lives. There is just no manual for life or for a good marriage. These things take a lot of experience and fiddling if you want to really be good at it. But is there really a way for you to stop divorce and get your wife back?

When you really want to stop divorce then you have to practice humility. I believe that humility, as a virtue, is more important than the virtue of patience. You have to swallow your pride and bow your head if you want forgiveness. Especially if you are the one at fault. There is no other way to get her forgiveness if you do not ask for it. So apologize to her - sincerely and honestly.

An apology consists of two parts. One, the act of asking forgiveness or saying that you are sorry for what you did. Two, saying that you will make it up to her and telling her that you will never make the same mistake again. "I apologize for the things that I did. I will never do it again and I promise to make it up to you." That is the most basic apology. However, you really have to follow up on your promise that you will never repeat the same mistake again.

When you are on speaking terms with your wife again be sure to listen to what she has to say. Do not cover up your mistakes by arguing with her. Just listen to her and really listen to her. Hear out whatever issues she has with you. Do not belittle her feelings by saying that your mistake is no big deal, because obviously it is.

If you have anger management problems, alcohol and drug abuse problems, I suggest that you seek help from professionals. Seek counseling at once before you apologize to your wife. Seeking help will make her believe that you are really changing your ways. Only through action and initiative will make her believe that you are ready to change your ways. - 16892
