re: How do people cope with separation or divorce?

Marriage is hard. Unless there was a cheating spouse involved or one spouse has a dangerous habit, almost all marriages should be fixable. The problem is divorce has become the acceptable thing to do these days when times get tough.

My wife is my best friend. There were times in our marriage where I thought divorce was the only way I could be happy. I looked at myself and asked if I was being the best husband I could be. The answer was no. Most of the time, it is you that is the problem, not the other spouse. Once you fix you, the marriage fixes itself.

Been married 29 years and it is work everyday. Fortunately, my best friend, my wife, is there to help me get through the tough times.
