Last month, newly divorced motivational speaker Gerald Rogers took to Facebook and confessed the things he wished he'd done differently to save his marriage. And his heartfelt honesty has struck a chord around the world, scoring more than 98,000 shares and climbing.

Gerald starts by saying: "Obviously, I’m not a relationship expert. But there’s something about my divorce being finalised this week that gives me perspective of things I wish I would have done different… After losing a woman that I loved, and a marriage of almost 16 years, here’s the advice I wish I would have had..."

He concludes: "These are lessons I learned the hard way. These are lessons I learned too late." And he asks that it be shared with couples who "may have forgotten how to love".
