Even after months of concerted prayer and following Dr. Harley's advice, it seemed that separation and divorce were inevitable.<BR>The lowest day came when I left my home and family, because I could no longer endure the slow torture that my relationship with my wife was causing me. That night, I completely gave my problem to the Lord, and decided that my outcome was in HIS hands, and not ours. I prayed for peace, and for my wife's conversion, knowing that although I was going on with my life, I would always keep the door open for us. I felt an incredible serenity after surrendering my fate to God, and slept like a baby that night. I woke up the next morning a new creature, prepared to face my future with confidence and an unshakable faith in the Lord. I felt like I was 21 again.<P>Incredibly, within 24 hours of my departure, my wife phoned me under with the premise of needing to discuss financial issues. I was at work, so I couldn't talk, but something told me that there was more to her need to talk to me other than "finances".<P>I worked late that night, and didn't get home until about 11PM. I phoned my wife, and asked her in a caring but not anxious way what was on her mind. After about a minute or two of small talk she completely broke down, told me that she loved me more than anyone she's ever loved, that I "completed" her, and that she would do whatever it took<BR>(go to counseling, go back to church, make more time for eachother)if I would just come back home, and try again with her. Praise God! He moves swiftly when it is within his will and you have total faith! Whatever your heartache, when you surrender your problems to him and "let go" he will perform a miracle in your life!<P>I know we have a lot of work to do, but with God's help, Dr. Harley's concepts, and a competent counselor, we will prevail!<P>" If thou canst believe, ALL things are possible to him that believeth!"

Congratulations,<BR>I wish the best to you and your family and good luck on the reconciling. I to am in the same boat, only my wife has left but Im still doing like you and keeping the door open for her. She's a very stubborn lady and not prone to admitting if she's made a mistake or not. So I'll get on with my life and hope for the best. My thoughts are with you both, it good to hear some happy news for a change.
