There might still be hope for Dennis Quaid's third marriage! The actor's wife, Kimberly Buffington-Quaid, withdrew her petition for divorce last month after the couple took a trip to Telluride, Colo. to sort things out. How mature!
OK! NEWS: DENNIS QUAID'S THIRD WIFE FILES FOR DIVORCE CITING IRRECONCILABLE DIFFERENCES
A source tells E! News: "They have a very explosive relationship but they do love each other. They are rethinking the divorce and seeing if they can actually make it work. It's been a difficult path for both of them, but they don't want to make a mistake and divorce."
The couple, who married in 2004, have two children together: twins Zoe and Thomas, now 4. When the children were just eight days old, they accidentally received an overdose of heparin at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. Heparin is a blood-thinner and the overdose was potentially fatal. The experience bonded the Quaids and the couple became advocates for patient safety.

We hope Dennis and Kimberly summon the same strength they needed to get through that situation to save their marriage.
"Ultimately, they want to try and make things work, not just for the sake of the kids, but because they both still have very strong feelings for one another."
