it before. again, we talked about you were the one had kept the marriage together. ted would have happily pulled the plug and drained the water and you said, no, i m going to stay and people of america asked before when you were on, what is it inside of you that said i want this to work. the choices that i made were really rooted in my faith, and i believed that what ted needed from me and what our marriage needed was for me to forgive him and that would open the door for healing in our marriage. and i don t think, i don t think you were willingly wanting to leave the marriage, i think he really thought it was best for me and for our children, but i saw through that and i knew that he was going through a struggle, but that his whole life spoke to him being so much more than the struggle he was going through and i felt as though he was worth fighting for and everything that i cared about that was being challenged at the time was really worth fighting for. mike: we have a lot more to
out from one that s on their way down. you should never lose that. and one of the reasons why i like being in the u.s. and being around americans is that, you know, whatever the issues, and sometimes you guys don t understand us and we don t understand you, but that optimism and that sort of exuberance of the human spirit, it s a great thing.

joining me now ted and gayle haggard. ted, good to have you. [ applause ] mike: gayle, good to have you back. thank you, governor. mike: we had a tremendous outpouring of response to your appearance, gayle. one of the things that people were, i think, truly amazed by was your sense of forgiveness, your sense of wanting not this to be the end of your marriage, but to continue on. and i asked you that question. what would it take for you to leave? ted, i want to ask you, was there a time when you thought marriage is over? i m getting out? well, i did. because i thought i had become so toxic, it would be best for gayle and the children for me to be gone. so i asked gayle to divorce me. and she said she would not. and the decisions that she and the children made to love me unconditionally, provided an atmosphere within which i could be healed. and so it was amazing because i was making bad decisions and their good decisions opened the
