If you’re a husband who’s recently been separated from your wife and still loves her, I want you to know: there is a path forward. And it starts with the hardest - but most important step: taking full responsibility for your actions.

When a relationship breaks down, it’s easy to fall into blame. You might feel tempted to point to your wife’s behavior, decisions, or even the way she handled the separation. But if you want to rebuild trust and connection, you have to own your part in the breakdown - without excuses, defensiveness, and without expecting immediate forgiveness.
