Reconciliation: Couple Reconcile Seven Years after Separation

A divorce can only mark the end of a marriage legally but most times it doesn’t mark the end of the love felt by the couple.  As long as the love lives on, then a reconciliation after a divorce is always possible.

The story of Steph and Ricky is a typical example of a love that overcame all obstacles and stood the test of time. We will like to repost their story as shared by Ivelisse Agostini. We hope that you get encouraged after reading.

Steph and Ricky worked as executives of an American Company. While working in the same company they discovered that they liked each other. It turned out that they were both victims of a failed marriage and each had a child from the previous marriage.

After four years of knowing each other, they decided to get married. Their wedding ceremony was great and so the marriage kicked off. At that time Steph had become a housewife while the husband had opened a business of his own.

Due to Ricky’s business, he was always away from home. Although he was able to provide all of Steph’s financial needs, she wasn’t satisfied. She needed more than material things. She needed him to spend more time with her. Gradually, an emotional distance was created and this led to constant misunderstandings. After four years of their marriage, they decided to get a divorce while still in love with each other.

The Separation: Seven Years of Learning

After the divorce, the couple started a new life. Ricky said he got into another relationship one year after his divorce but unfortunately, he couldn’t find satisfaction in his new partner. He said he was always comparing her to Steph.

Through their mutual friends, he kept spying on his ex-wife. He wanted to know if she was dating someone new and how she was faring. He found out that she dated a couple of guys but the relationship didn’t last long.

Meanwhile, Steph said: “After the divorce, I sort for professional help to assist me in recovering. Then I dedicated myself to organizing my life and building a business of my own.  I was working really hard so I had fewer distractions. After a while, I decided to date some guys but the relationship didn’t last because I was always comparing them to Ricky. I was missing him a lot.”

The Reunion:

After six years of separation, although Ricky was dating someone else, he was still feeling unhappy. He wanted to get back to Steph. Then one day, he met her on the road. They greeted each other and he requested for a lunch date.

While at the restaurant he told her how much he had missed her. He expressed the feelings he was holding back all those years. They found out that despite being apart for so long, the chemistry between them was stronger than ever. From that day, they started talking on the phone, sending text messages and meeting each other.

Reconciliation: Together and better than ever before

After a few months, they had a second wedding and that marked the continuation of their love story. This time, the love and intimacy became great. According to them, the separation made them realize that what they feel for each other is very strong.

“I signed up for a marriage counseling, to learn to communicate better and understand how to handle different conflicting situations that might arise in our marriage,” said Ricky. He also explained that the reunion made them so happy and as a couple, they are constantly working towards making their marriage last forever.
