I think the question of whether or not two former lovers can rekindle their relationship is a tricky one. They may have changed a lot in the meantime, and that can be a good or a bad thing. That is, they might not have much in common anymore; on the other hand, they may have become more mature and strong enough to handle things they couldn't handle before.

My husband was deployed a lot. Each homecoming was a mini honeymoon. But many along the way divorced. The maturity wasn't there. They'd married for storybook love, that Hollywood gibberish, and lacked the commitment that comes with love.Kittie Howardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07756250649095903317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3869854312562524230.post-46799079281694780262013-10-07T16:26:57.506+01:002013-10-07T16:26:57.506+01:00Congrats on the release of your second book, Paul....Congrats on the release of your second book, Paul.
