How to Rebuild Your Marriage during a Separation
If you’ve been through a separation, or you’re separated now, you already know that it is one of the most hurtful things you can go through. It’s incredibly painful to reach the point where you can no longer be with the person you thought was your forever.
It’s especially heart-wrenching when a part of you still wants to be together. Or maybe you know with all your heart that you want to save your marriage, but he has made it clear he’s done. It sure is easy to feel hopeless if you’re in that boat.
But is your situation hopeless? Can you see any signs that you’ll reconcile after all?
What are the signs, you ask?
Well, here are three big ones: 1) You’re exploring this podcast. 2) You want to reconcile. And 3) You’re willing to try something different.
On today’s episode of The Empowered Wife Podcast, we’re talking about how to rebuild your marriage during a separation:
- I’ll share a marriage reconciliation plan that works.
- My guest Kariel was devastated when her husband was flirting with a female friend while she was pregnant and then again when they separated. Years went by, but she never gave up hope of reconciling. Then she discovered a new way to interact with her husband, and he returned–and gave her back the wedding ring she had thrown at him. Today she says her marriage is smooth and intimate. She’s going to tell us how she did it!
- The worst advice of the week award goes to an article about the 15 things your partner will never do if you’re in a healthy relationship, and I’m thinking your partner would have to be a Golden Retriever to measure up to this definition of a healthy relationship.
I love the testimony but I find it hard to hear no discussion on accountability for the husband. He left her unsupported. That’s great that he changed but how to know he is changed without accountability. It sounds like it’s mostly on the woman to change herself completely (even though for the better) without any discussion on accountability. He cheated on her but she’s supposed to measure her words for someone unwilling to be a good human. I guess I have to read and listen to more on this topic because it sounds like overfunctioning.
Hi Felicia,
I’m so happy to hear you are enjoying the podcast. It sounds like something is going missing for sure. You shouldn’t have to feel like you’re overfunctioning to have a great relationship. That does not sound empowering and has not been my experience! I have more time, more ease and feel more adored than ever before and my husband changed too and became more accountable.
I’d love to invite you to check out The Adored Wife Roadmap for more tips to feel cherished and well-cared for.
You deserve that. Every woman does.
Standing for you,
Coach Brenda
