Don't Totally Blame
Yourself.
In seeking reconciliation, don't blame yourself for
the failure of your marriage. It's not totally your fault. On the other
hand, you're not perfect. Jesus said the place to begin is by confessing
your failure to your spouse and asking forgiveness. I suggest you ask God
to help you make a list of your failures. Write them down. Be as specific
as possible. Having asked God's forgiveness, ask Him to give you courage
to share the list with your spouse.
Admitting your wrongs and asking forgiveness will
not guarantee the restoration of your marriage, but it will give you a
clear conscience (Acts 24:16). You will never be free from guilt until you
admit your part in the marital failure. Your spouse may or may not forgive
you. He/she may or may not be open to reconciliation. However, when you
have asked forgiveness, you have taken the first step in healing the past.
Your failures cannot be erased. They can be confessed and forgiven. God is
always willing to forgive. Perhaps your spouse will also. You'll never
know until you confess and ask forgiveness.
