Maybe it came as a surprise.
You just found out that your spouse wants a divorce.
Whatever, the problem, is or was, it has brewed over into your partner getting ready to end the relationship for good.
You still have a chance at saving your marriage.
The question is, whether or not, you are prepared for the work that is now cut out for you.
You can win your way back into the love of your life's heart! Whether you are physically separated or not, right now, is not the question.
Obviously, something is terribly wrong, otherwise your spouse would not be threatening divorce.
Now is the time to step back and allow yourself and your ex some breathing room.
Emotions are running high on both sides of the table.
It is better to step back and stop talking right now.
You are both likely, to lash out again at one another because of anger.
Take this opportunity to collect your emotions and calm down.
Space is the best gift you can give your spouse right now.
Occupy your time by catching up with your friends and those relationships you may have neglected while you were involved with your love.
This is your opportunity to develop those traits your spouse first fell in love with.
When was the last time you acknowledged appreciation for your spouse? Many times in a long-term relationship, people tend to neglect, or take for granted, the person you fell in love with.
Have you said, 'I love you' lately? Why did you fall for this person in the first place? Take this time to cultivate in yourself, the traits that made your spouse fall for you to begin with.
Avoid the 'blame game'.
You both made mistakes.
Your job, is to take responsibility for your mistakes.
Take this time and opportunity to decide what you could have done differently and better.
And then, more importantly do those things you should have been doing in the first place!
