“I want to save my marriage,” she told me, “but can it actually be worth it? If I do the work, and we don’t get divorced, will our marriage ever be good?”
I’ve had this same question many times in my career. I replied with my same response, “I am not here to simply stop a divorce. It isn’t worth it to save a marriage, only for it to be a miserable relationship. Yes, your marriage can heal. Yes, you can have a marriage you can treasure — both of you can treasure. But only after you heal.”
Marriages are not like machines — once a part is broken, it’s done. Marriages are more organic. More like a human body. If your body is injured by something, it will heal. Sure, there may be a scar. But sometimes, scars are stronger than what was there before.
Not overnight, but your marriage CAN heal, and CAN be a relationship you both will treasure. It can be warm, loving, respectful, and strong. It just takes some time and healing.
