TRACK 01 · SEPARATION
She just left or filed.
Separation Survival Guide
A six-month field manual for the decisions that cannot wait: the first night, necessary contact, children, and getting organized for counsel.
DEXTER MONTGOMERY · PRACTICAL GUIDANCE FOR MEN
The marriage changed.
What you do next
still matters.
She left. You’re trying to rebuild. Or the divorce is final and the house is quiet. Start with the work in front of you.
Three books. Three starting points. Read in the order your life needs.
WHICH PART ARE YOU LIVING THROUGH?
Start with the situation you’re in.
TRACK 02 · REBUILDING
I want to rebuild my marriage.
Win Back Your Wife
Stop making every move about her response. Build self-command, handle necessary contact, and examine what a real reconciliation would require from both of you.
TRACK 03 · LIFE AFTER DIVORCE
The divorce is final. What now?
The Second Act
The decree settles the case. It does not build your life. Take ownership of your home, money, friendships, fatherhood, and whoever comes next.
A DIFFERENT PLACE TO BEGIN
You can want your marriage back
and still take care of yourself.
When things fall apart, it’s tempting to look for the perfect words. One more conversation. One more message that might change her mind.
The 90-Day Protocol begins with what you can actually influence: how you respond, how you spend your days, and whether you follow through on the changes you need to make.
You may find a way back to each other. You may not. Either way, the work needs to matter in your own life.
THE 90-DAY FRAMEWORK · BOOK 2
Get steady. Follow through.
See what comes next.
The first month gives your days structure. The second turns intentions into habits. The third is a chance to look honestly at what has changed.
Ninety days organizes your work. It does not set a deadline for her decision.

Before you begin.
Will this save my marriage?
No book or plan can promise that. Reconciliation requires both people to want it and to address what went wrong. The protocol focuses on your own conduct and decisions.
Why 90 days?
It’s a way to organize the work into manageable stages. It is not a prediction of how long a separation will last or when your wife will want to reconnect.
What if we have children?
Giving each other space still needs to leave room for reliable parenting and necessary communication. Keep children out of relationship negotiations, and follow your existing obligations and professional advice.
Is this therapy?
No. This is educational material. A qualified professional can help with your specific situation, particularly when there are safety, legal, or mental health concerns.
What if she has already decided to leave?
You can acknowledge her decision and still need time to grieve. The work of rebuilding your routines, relationships, and judgment remains worthwhile even when reconciliation is not possible.
