I never thought that I would perceive myself as a stupid husband simply because I had a troubled marriage that needed fixing, but I did.

But really, they rightfully called me an idiot for the way I allowed my marriage to get out of control.

I admit that I have made many mistakes in my marriage.

The mistakes I made to create a troubled marriage…

At first, these errors were all insignificant and trivial. The mistakes I made were actually those mistakes that you wouldn’t really label as a big deal. Thinking that I was not actually committing major sins against my wife, I kept repeating the same mistakes. That’s when my wife decided that I was getting worse. Then came the time when she started hating me for what she had made me.

Now I know that I was a very bad example of a spouse. I had hurt and neglected my wife’s feelings and these were just some of the mistakes I was making in my marriage.

But still, even with these realizations, it was hard for me to stop the cycle and be a good husband to her. It got to a point where my wife almost decided to leave me. She says that she couldn’t take it anymore and that she wanted a divorce. I was called.

On the other hand, I think what she did was also a good thing because that had also been my wake-up call. I knew then that I had to change myself and fix a troubled marriage, or else I really would lose my wife.

It wasn’t easy for me to accept my mistakes, but it was a great first step in changing me from the person I had become to a husband who can truly be called a partner.

The first thing I did was accept the fact that I had to change my life to convince my wife that I was really a different man and not the stupid husband I had been acting out.

I did this by researching the situation and trying to get help from other people. He knew very well that many other couples were having marital problems and that there were some specialists who had experience in these matters.

I was doing my best to find someone who could help me through my troubled marriage; someone who could help me recover the lost love and affection that my wife had for me. Fortunately, I was able to find some books and materials online, which led to a change of heart and a renewed sense of what I really wanted: I wanted a happy and fruitful relationship with my wife again.

Finding that I could get help if I looked for it and that I could make things work for me, I decided to change ME. I changed my mindset and learned to deviate from the things that made my wife leave me in the first place. This wasn’t that easy at first, in fact, it was quite a difficult thing for me…and for both of us really.

But I finally got the hang of it. For her part, my wife decided to give me another chance when she realized I was serious about making up. She, too, stared at the things she could change to fix a troubled marriage we had created.
