You know I don't think putting a time limit on things is a good idea. Despite my situation I believe that a good marriage is worth fighting for, and to have a good marriage requires that both people in it are willing and ARE fighting for it.

So if counseling seems to be helping and she is working to bridge the gap then an arbitrary one year deadline seems counterproductive. On the other hand if she isn't willing to put in the work and counseling doesn't seem to be helping a year is a VERY long time to wait to start getting on with your life.

And either way, make sure you have a good handle on your finances.
