My wife and I recently seperated a week ago whle going to counseling. It took that seperation for me to be honest to myself and her and to admit that I have created most of the problems. We are to meet back up with the counselor in 2 days to determine if we want to try a controlled seperation or get a divorce. I want more than anyting to try a controlled seperation but think she is leaning more towards a divorce. Before either of us make a decision, we are to sit down and express what it is that we want and why. Any advice as to what to say that could make her consider to try the controlled seperation if she has her mind set on Divorce?

Hi Jason, I have no idea why I am only receiving this message now. I imagine I am too late but I encourage you and your wife to attend a Retrouvaille weekend. For locations and registration go to http://www.retrouvaille.org.
If you and she are parents, I urge you to slow things down and really evaluate the impact a divorce will have on the lives of your children for the rest of their lives.
Ask yourself what changes you need to make personally and possibly professionally to make your wife want to try hard to save the marriage. Do you two keep a regular schedule of Date Nights? How is your courtship of her? Did all the romance disappear? How can you bring that back?

This is not a legal process. A couple enters into this agreement by mutual choice in hopes of restoring the marriage. I would never attempt to give any legal advice to anyone as all states are specific in their divorce laws. When a couple elects to create a controlled separation, both parties are called to a higher level of sensitivity and awareness of thier actions on thier spouse.
