Finally a step in the right direction

Yesterday,  my soon to be separated wife surprised me with a text message asking me out on a date. She continued to send me messages during her breaks at work, a noticeable increase in communication. I rushed to our home from work, blasted through a workout and run, showered and dressed to impress. She picked me up and we went to a nice romantic dinner at a restaurant of her choosing. During the conversation in which I managed to get her to laugh and smile more than usual she mentioned she could not get me off her mind all say. The sincerely thanked me for all the effort I've been putting into changes in myself and the home. She expressed amazement at the success and that my determination had not seemed to diminish at all. She then said words that made the ground quake beneath me, "I'm having doubts about going through with the separation. I've had to convince myself more than once today that I still need to do this to work on myself. I'm just so confused." 
 
She then asked if I might arrange for a week off in March. At one time we had planned on a family vacation in March but she had me cancel it due to the separation. I told her I can keep that week off my work schedule if she wants to do something. 
 
The rest of the evening was made up of enjoying an errand together buying groceries, a silly dance together at home while getting the kids ready for bed, and some passionate intimacy before fading off to sleep. Although the separation is still planned and she still has issues to work out, I feel my stubborn reluctance to give up hope has germinated. I can assure you I intend to put an abundance of TLC into helping it flourish. Prayers are needed and appreciated.
