Six years ago today, my world began to fall apart piece by piece. I won't go into the particulars because it is all here somewhere, but I was unwilling to kick forty-two years of marriage and family to the curb. My straying husband and I worked like the dickens to recover a marriage that could so easily have been scrapped.

We did not do it alone. We found a local counselor within days who helped us through the initial impact and gave us direction; but as the days and weeks progressed and after-shocks rocked my world and subsequently my willing-to-recover-our-marriage husband's world, I sought advice from the MB Forum and found veterans and no-so-new newbies who gave me good advice. Dr. Harley's advice via an MB Weekend and his books kept us on track.

We didn't recover the same marriage, but we did re-build a stronger one.

Thank you to the MB Forum members out there who practiced their listening and advice-giving skills with patience and care to get me back on my feet and able to face a future without bitterness.

Thank you for sharing.

It's wonderful to hear about success stories.

You should definitely give yourself a huge pat on the back. You and your FWH did alot of hard work.

Good job!!
