The answer

As long as you took your wife back during her iddah (waiting period) from a revocable divorce, she has returned to your marital bond. The validity of the return does not depend on intercourse. Rather, the fundamental principle for a return is through verbal declaration. So, if you uttered the words of return, it is valid.
