Should I Keep Trying to Work It Out?

There was a couple, who met in their 20, who fell in love. His family was not a member of the church and didn´t understand the son´s position on serving on a mission. She was the oldest of a big family. she used to support the family income.
She waited him for two years while he was serving his mission. When he returned home, they decided to married. His family never approved those decisions. After a few months they had their first son The now parent was under a lot of pressure, he had to make a decision: he wasn´t having enough time to get the income needed to support his family so, he quit his university studies.
They were trying to work things out, to manage time effectively. Serving their callings, working, spending time and taking care with the child. But, apparently they were never able to talk and communicate effectively with each other. 
A job offer for him made him move to another state, away from the family. Later on, the family followed him. The second child was born and there was so much more pressure on both spouses.
With no communication, a poor quality life and a very stressed lifestyle. The husband started to react violently towards the family. He started to connect with another woman and this bring so many problems for the family.
The thought of divorce entered in the story very strong.

Elder Dallin H. Oaks testifies 

that the Atonement of Jesus Christ can heal the pain 

of a troubled or broken marriage for all who humbly seek His help.

I wish that story could have had a happy ending. Sometimes things don´t go as we want or have planned. One thing I know for sure:

"Somehow forgiveness, with love and tolerance, accomplishes miracles that can happen in no other way."
 -President Gordon B. Hinckley

This can´t be accomplished if we don´t seek for the Lord´s help and inspiration

"Some divorces are necessary and just, and may actually serve to clarify the moral boundaries of marriage by identifying behavior that seriously violates marriage covenants. But both spiritual principles and secular learning should motivate us to do all we can do to keep our marital covenants. If we find ourselvesat the crossroads of divorce, the best path is usually to seek divine help to change course and repair marriage." (Hawkins, 2012. P. 85.)
