Reconciliation. Does it work?

I was pretty much convinced that I should get a divorce as my Wife seemed to value her friendships with other men more than our Relationship. She was traveling to Florida and seeing clients on the weekend more and more. I didn't believe that this was how a marriage should work so I suggested to my wife that we should get a divorce. She went to Florida once more to think this over. I was having dinner with the guys one Thursday night at our local hang out and who should walk into the restaurant but my estranged wife who had just flown in from Florida. She said she wanted to talk to me about our relationship so I agreed to meet at the house following dinner and she went ahead. I apologized to the guys for cutting the dinner short and headed up to the house. We stayed up until 5:30 am talking about our relationship and by that time had worked out our differences. Especially about maintaining relationships with old boyfriends (or so I thought). We made up, had great sex and proceeded to mend our relationship. I became somewhat euphoric having won my wife back and no longer was concerned about my wife having relationships with other men. We had a pretty good relationship for the next couple of years. We skied, played golf and tennis together often. I spent more time with her in Florida. I even got her to go to an Opera with me. Also during that time my wife was creating golf apparel selling it to golf stores and country clubs. I built her a production room in the house where she created her products and shipped them to her clients. She would also go to Florida(where else) to golf shows to sell her wares. So gradually the trips to Florida increased and also, strangely enough, her client appointments on the weekend in Colorado. I began to wonder why it was more important for her to meet with her clients on the weekend and especially, more important than going to church on Sunday(which I had expressed a wish to do). By this time, my wife had moved in with a partner in her Marriage Counseling business in Colorado. I appreciate that a relationship with a business partner deepens over time but began to wonder how deep this relationship had become after a few years. Not wishing to bring back old demons, I dismissed this thought and continued to worship the woman I had married and make the most of the time we spent together. However, the question remains, had we really established a loving, trusting relationship that was sustainable. That was the question that I began to wrestle with as our marriage went on.
