If you have been asking around; "my spouse asked for a divorce, what do I do now?" then you probably received a lot of different answers.
Some told you to fight this idea and try to save your marriage, some told you that the moment the "divorce" word is uttered a marriage is forever lost and you should just let it go.
Well, do you know which one is right? I know from my own personal experience that the first is.
If you love your spouse, you don't just let him or her go.
Fight and save your marriage, just like I did.
With the right things, you can definitely do this, however bad the situation might look.
Bear with me.
It happened to me, too - my spouse asked for a divorce.
I didn't know what to do.
The right thing to do at this moment is to respect your spouse's feelings.
If you try to sit down and have a heated argument about the issues (and divorce) and try to prove your spouse wrong by arguing; he or she will think that you are putting yourself above their feelings.
I have done that after my spouse asked for a divorce, and it was nearly ruining my marriage completely.
What you should do is to show respect for your spouse's feelings and not argue with them.
You can do this by offering a trial separation.
It sounds dangerous but it's such a great thing that I can say it's how I saved my marriage after my spouse asked for a divorce.
First of all, your spouse is expecting argument (and another reason to be mad at you, so that divorce is better justified).
What you are doing is, showing your respect for his or her feelings and even offering to take it to the next level.
What about the separation itself? Don't worry.
Your spouse has a feeling about how the separation will be.
But when it actually happens, he or she will realize that the grass is always greener on the other side.
Your spouse will have the time and space to think everything through, and an opportunity to actually miss you.
This saved my marriage, and if pulled off right, it will save yours.
