Answer
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad 
is His slave and Messenger.
Divorce is only effective with the clear words of divorce or with metaphors of divorce while having the intention of divorce, as regards a husband saying to his wife ‘I am in full sense’ and he does not utter divorcing her, then this does not lead to divorce even if he wanted to utter it but did not utter it, so let alone if he did not intend to divorce her at all.
Therefore, your wife is still your wife.
It should be noted that both spouses should avoid disputes, and if any problems occur, they should endeavour to solve them with wisdom and reason.
