I am desperately trying to win my wife's heart back before our divorce is final. We have been communicating better now for the past few weeks then we have in a long time. I love her with all my heart and I know that she is confused right now just like me but one thing I am not confused about is my love for her and that I truly want to spend the rest of my life with her. Things did get nasty through the divorce process but I don't want to sign the paper work I want so much to work things out with her and am willing to do anything that I can within my power. She is the love of my life and I truly believe we were meant for each other. Do I just let her go for now and see what happens or keep fighting for her? I am afraid that letting her go will send the wrong message but I know she is confused as to what she wants but she won't tell me. I have a dinner date with her tomorrow night in an attempt to find out these things. But I am willing, ready and determined to make this marriage work with whatever I have to do. Any help would be great here.
I love you Shannon!!!!!

It sounds like your marriage is salvagable. Don't make the mistake all too many couples make and give up too early! Check out this website: http://www.nationalmarriage.com/. Look into their "Intensives" counseling. It's not your typical 'meet with a counselor once a week' counseling. most people attend with the last ditch "this isn't going to work, but I'll go so I can say I tried everything" attitude, but the success rate of keeping couples together is in the 90% range. My husband left me and refused to try anything, but I am convinced that if I could have gotten him to attend one of these intensives our marriage could have been saved. It's a little expensive, but she's worth it. Don't wait until the divorce is over, do everything you can to fight the divorce. If your wife knows how desperately you are fighting for her she may be willing to consider going with you to an intensive. Do the research and ask her to think about going at your dinner date. Whatever you do, don't give up on her or your marriage! Good luck!!!

I just noticed that you are in Kennesaw, GA. They offer this Intensives program I was telling you about right there in Atlanta. Look into it.

Did she file, or did you?? What were the reasons for filing in the first place? Do you have a chance to change the problems that caused either one of you to get to this point in the first place?
Considering all that....you know the old saying, "It ain't over till it's over".
It's a positive sign that you are so determined to make it right. Hopefully, she'll see this and respond to the efforts you are making.
Good luck!!

A mediator, besides handling divorces quickly, could also help you two resolve your disputes and get in really good communication and understanding. I know Jean Brasel who can mediate by phone anywhere in the U.S. her website is medationshandled.com

I really feel your desperation. Why are you getting a divorce in the first place? Did she file or you? What kind of issues, your infidelity or hers? If yours maybe you can prove yourself over time. If hers, I think it's over.
