Honest Reflections — My Role in a Failed Marriage as a Priest

<p>Welcome back to&nbsp;<em>The Monday Memoi</em>r, where we have reached the second half of 2012.</p> <p>We are now in the weeds of my marriage break up and its place in my ministry as a priest in the Church of England.</p> <p>Last week, I discussed how I found out that my wife wanted to leave and set herself up in the independent life that &mdash; unbeknown to me &mdash; she had wanted for a long time.</p> <p>Thanks for the feedback on that piece. I think I shed a few readers, but there we go &mdash; honesty and reality don&rsquo;t always go over well for some people.</p> <h2>How did it come to this?</h2> <p>I want to use this instalment of the Monday Memoir to press a pause button on the hectic narrative we&rsquo;ve followed so far and reflect on what happened in those early months of 2012.</p> <p>Before we progress any further along the timeline, I want to be honest and not sugarcoat my mistakes.</p> <h2>It takes two people to make a marriage.</h2> <p>A successful, thriving, growing marriage needs two people who are both willing to put in the time and commitment to overcome obstacles and solve problems.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/inspire-believe-grow/honest-reflections-my-role-in-a-failed-marriage-as-a-priest-1a17a9f4fd28">Visit Now</a></p>
