At first thought, it’s like well, sir, your marriage didn’t work. Why would I take marriage advice from you? But then you think about it some more and realize, hindsight is 20/20. It’s so much easier to look back and explain as opposed to making sense of the mess that you’re currently in. That said, this is some amazing advice from a divorcé after 16 years of marriage. Wow. Like, some bookmark, print it out and laminate it, read it once a month type advice. Head on over to the Love Story from a Male Perspective Blog to read “Beautiful Advice from a Divorced Man After 16 Years of Marriage.”
Some of my favorite pieces of advice that he gives are that “It’s not your job to change or fix her” and to “Fill her soul every day” while topping it all off with the ultimate challenge: Commit to being an EPIC LOVER.
And although he’s addressed it to husbands, there were parts where he was talking directly to me. As if he were all up in my business, tapping my phones, spying on my thoughts. Sigh. I hear ya…
All of that to say, heck yeah I’d take marriage advice from a divorcé – or at least this one anyway. So go ahead and see why; click here to read the rest.

Wholly Single 
there are definitely some good pieces of advice there to learn from…
i ran a similiar series on my blog a while back where i got a bunch of friends from strong marriages to share a piece of advice as to one thing that helped strengthen their marriage and came up with some excellent stuff worth passing on – http://brettfish.wordpress.com/2012/09/17/how-to-save-a-marriage-before-you-need-to-the-parts
with relationships it makes so much sense to not try and walk it alone but to journey alongside friends and family and whoever is safe in your life that you can trust and rely on and so learning from those who have successfully walked the road makes a lot of sense as well…
all the best
love brett fish
p.s. i see your blog is called ‘Wholly Single’ – i ran an incredible series on Singleness that was made up of stories of friends of mine who shared honestly and powerfully – if you’re interested you can check that out at http://brettfish.wordpress.com/2012/09/04/taboo-topics-singleness-intro
Hey Brett! Thanks for stopping by and linking to your (very cool) series – yep I’ve already checked some of them out. I think that’s such a cool idea. Maybe I’ll start asking others to share their voices on my site, too (and link to some of your posts). As they they say, smart people learn from their mistakes, wise people learn from the mistakes of others. I’m all about advice from those who’ve been there.
