My husband and I have been together for 10 years now and married for 6. He left at the beginng of last month, saying that he was no longer happy in our marriage. I questioned him and he told me that there was no one else and that he still loved me. He also told me that he knows without a doubt that I love him. He's just not happy.

We have had some problems with my family and I think that has a lot to do with his leaving. Also, in the past year I've taken several trips with some of my girlfriends. He has know told me that it really bothered him that I had went. Since the first trip last June, we really started having more problems.

Slowly, we both started shutting down. He has told me that if he had to make a decision right now he would file for a divorce. I have asked him to give us some time to see if we can work things out and he has agreed.

I want to make him happy again. He feels that he's giving me more than enough chances and just doesn't know if things will ever change. I've prayed everyday since he has left for God to bring him back home. I love him and want our marriage to work out.

Is there any advice that you can give me to help bring him home? My best friend keeps telling me to give up and move on. But I believe that as long as there is love there is hope. I want to put our marriage on the right track. Please help if you can. I just need to know what I can do to turn his heart around and have him come home.

You might not want to take my advice, but I'll try to help you anyway. I think that you need to ask him what he needs and wants to come from your marriage. Maybe more affection, attention, etc. Try doing the things that you guys used to do when you fell in love. Go on dates where you used to go. It sounds like you really love him. I'm sorry that your going through this.
