Well my wife is returning home to me on June 11th.Its been a long time since i have seen her but our relationship has grown a lot since she has been gone.I have earned back her love she msses me a lot and ill try to earn her trust back once she gets here.I was the bad person in our relationship for those who dont remember my story.We are giving it another try and going to take it one day at a time.I love my wife with all my heart and will never neglect her again.Ive lerned a valuable lesson about meeting a womans needs and the consequences from it.We are starting over from day one and both of us look forward to our new life together.A new life in a new apartment in a new state.Everything is changing and hopefully my change is fo life. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

My friend, I'm glad to hear that your wife is returning. Really do wish you all the best of luck. But luck alone won't do it.
When a marriage gets into trouble, it doesn't happen overnight and it doesn't get fixed overnight. There just is no instant success and there is no instant recovery. I sure hope you will hang in here at MB and keep reading Dr. Harley's articles.
Bear in mind, you can't afford a relapse into the past behavior that led to the separation. If that happens, it will be much more difficult to get her back the next time.
The folks who come here briefly and leave with a "do it yourself kit" are nortoriously unsuccessful. The winners are the ones who hang in and keep working on trying to improve their marriages.
The only thing that stands in the way of a great marriage is a mediocure marriage. Please, don't settle for anything less than a plan to keep working every day toward that great marriage. Be good to her everyday.

Coming from someone who's marriage did not have a happy ending, never forget you are getting a gift that many, many people NEVER receive. You sound positive and that is great - just remember that we all tend to be creatures of habit, so do your best to replace your bad habits with new, more empowering ones!
Live with love in your heart and give thanks EACH morning for what you have in your life!
Good luck and God bless!
