The trial divorce or separation that you mentioned is already being practiced in other countries. Many times, the husband or the wife would leave home to cool things off. One woman I know left her husband who was having an affair. They separated for 8 months. She already filed for the divorce and then backtracked to give their marriage another chance. After they got back together, she realized that his extramarital affair never stopped so in the end she regretted that she even backtracked on the divorce proceedings. Many, many couples would try to talk to their local pastors or even pay a lot of money for marriage counseling, but these seldom work. In the case mentioned, the only way the marriage could have been saved was if the husband stopped his affairs or the wife put up with his affairs.

Just because you see an intact marriage doesn’t mean that things are fine and dandy. One guy I know is very unhappy with his wife of 28 years because he said she is cheating on him, but he is trying his best not to divorce her. When asked why, he said, “Because she is going to get half of everything.” Everything here means a $1,200,000 in retirement savings, a nice house, a boat and two SUVs. In this case, the only thing that is keeping the marriage together is money and material things. Does that mean that they have a better marriage than those couples who eventually divorced?

One couple I know has two preteen kids, married for 14 years. The husband is an alcoholic. The wife left with their children to live temporarily in her parent’s house. After a few weeks, they would get back together thinking that things would work out. I already lost count how many times they did this routine. The wife said things are not getting better and worse, the kids are seeing what is happening. Even the 11-year old son asked his father to stop drinking. The father answered, “That’s not gonna happen, son. Your mom is boring; she just wants to stay home. I like to drink and party.”
