Relationship Status Update

I don't know how people feel about posting personal stuff, and I'm not sure how I feel about it yet either, but when I think about posting this it only feels like it would be uplifting and maybe a little inspiring.
Ash and I got married over three years ago and we had no idea of the immediate problems or trials that we were about to encounter. To keep from getting too deep into it I'll just call it a sickness. We very quickly realized that something was wrong and we didn't know what it was or how to fix it. We tried everything we knew to try. We tried working on each others needs, we tried changing ourselves. We tried changing the scenario by moving to new places, closer to friends, away from friends, closer to family, or away from everyone. We sought professional help, spiritual help and help from family and friends. We even tried to ignore it, and in spite of all the efforts we made, with time, things seemed to get worse and worse for us. Eventually we felt the only thing we had left to try was a separation.
I am confused about how I feel about divorce. I know it's somewhat taboo in the Mormon Realm. And by that I just mean hard for people to accept that it might be the answer, or they don't know what to say about it all together. I personally have been humbled on the subject. I can no longer hear of a divorce and just believe they didn't work hard enough, or they were just too selfish, or that anyone is immune to it.
Ash and I got all the way to the point of hopelessness, which is a rough place to be. But even in that state we tried to keep doing what we believed to be right. We were separated for over nine months and had accepted that despite our honest and hardest efforts, it wasn't going to work. Luckily we were able to remain friends and keep a good opinion of each other. We just had a couple more things to do before we felt we could say we had done everything within our power to save our marriage.
Then all at once, everything started to come together. Ideas came to us that actually started to make differences. Within a short time we not only felt like we should try living together again but that it was going to work out. We are back together now and it's amazing to me.
Happiness in marriage feels like a gift to me now. I've always believed you have to work at it, but I don't know why our efforts are working so well now when we had worked so hard to no avail before. The main thing I know is that I'm extremely happy and hopeful, and I know Ashley is too. We both feel so blessed and like we are being given answers to our prayers. I hope everyone can find this happiness in their marriage. And when trials come our way, I hope we can all find a way to persevere over them in one way or another.
