question

[renewed21]

Wife left months ago, will divorce. Common reason.
Does anyone have an idea of the percentage of women who return after divorce and restore the marriage?

I know all is possible in and with God. And I know that people also make choices. I plan to follow God's Word on the matter, but I would like to know or hear of any testamony or evidence that a hard hearted divorcee will turn soft.
Thanks, God Bless

I do not know anything about numbers, but there is a thread in Psychology Today by Rachel Clark, who divorced her husband, and then found out she had made a BIG mistake and chucked out her paramour, and then reconciled with and remarried her husband. I think it is worth a read.

A good story. My wife is the 100% raw emotion, I won't let reason get in the way of a good arguement type. Psychology Today by Rachel Clark, she appears to have some maturity and some intellegence.

I have no idea of the precentages of wives that return to marry their EX. Seems like it would be the same precentage as men who return .... lol

But I do hear of people remarrying. I'm thinking no higher than 5%. Total guess.

We all need to remember that the plural of anecdote is not data.

I wonder how many are prevented from remarrying by pride, either their own or their partner's, rather than any other block?

Been there. Done that. Smoked the cheap, smelly cigar.

It was twenty years between the marriages, the last one lasted two years before the second divorce. The second marriage confirmed that the first divorce was for a good reason. Being cheated on, lied to, lied about and abused is no way to go through life, but I suppose it works for some people.

Sorry about that mj. I can see how that can leave a cheap cigar taste in your mouth. So no disire whatsoever to get married again?
