So my story is really long, but the short story is... My wife and I were married for 6 years, together a total of 8. I really really messed up, and I was not the man I should have been. She has been through a lot. There was a day this summer, the 'last straw' when my wife decided "Enough, I can't take anymore". And so we aren't together anymore. Divorced. But, an amazing experience happened shortly after, as I hit rock bottom in my life. A true revelation from God, and my eyes were opened to all I did, and what I needed to do. I knew our Savior on a personal level, for the first time ever. I was reborn. I know this sounds completely crazy, even clichéd, but I am not the man I used to be. (Click HERE if you have 15 minutes, you can read about what happened in great detail)
My questions are:
1. Can a marriage be saved?, especially a temple marriage. I love my (ex) wife so much, and I hurt so deeply, knowing the pain I've caused. I understand my covenants I made, finally. I want to be the husband I should have been. But it may be too late.
2. Anyone who has gone through divorce as a Latter-Day Saint, how have you survived? How is it possible to live again? How can a heart heal? Most days, I feel like my heart is literally going to tear itself apart. I go to sacrament (a different ward) and while I love church, I feel alone. All the talk of marriage, and families are forever, and husbands and wives, and I don't belong anywhere anymore. I know we all have trials, but I can't find my way, I'm lost. I don't know who to talk to, I've talked to my bishop, and he's nice, but he has enough to deal with. Who do I turn to (Earthly), I have no family, my kids won't talk to me, I have no friends anymore. Every day I'm on my knees begging the Lord for forgiveness and asking for help.

I can see why the Primary song would be controversial in some of the farther corners of the Church, but I have not heard anything about this particular case and then I read Kathryn's response to a poster in the comment section:
And so the battle comes to Primary where gender roles are taught as well as things like God the Father being the literal father of our spirits and the father of Jesus' physical body the same way our fathers are the fathers of our physical bodies, etc.

Here is an interesting perspective that seems to accept all science, accepts Theism, and questions Atheism. Pretty much my own world view except I haven't defended it this way:
I don't accept a 'God of the Gaps' dismisal of this because I don't believe that God acts or exists only in the 'gaps'.

If they can afford it? Can we as a society afford not to? Is a yearlong break enough to be a good mother? Maybe one is happier with a career. Is that short-sighted or selfish if one also has children? Obviously, some moms must work to make ends meet; I don't think this is about them directly.

I take great exception to that last sentiment. Dunst is showing a great deal of wisdom and courage to say the right thing here considering the social circles she probably runs in. Plus, no one needs to be paid to understand 'gender theory'.
The connection to LDS things like say, the Proclamation on the Family should be obvious.
