Hi Sam,
It takes a lot of determination and persistance to continue when you feel that your partner doesn't quite seem to have their whole heart into the R yet. (I was there through out much of last summer.)

Continue to concentrate on keeping your PMA. In order to help maintain your PMA, remind yourself that while you are "piecing" (and your wife has chosen to be with you now, so you ARE "piecing"...), you have yet to arrive at where you want to be. You are still on the journey, striving for M to be better, and "piecing" is just one more leg of the journey, but one that is definately one level closer to where you want to be. Last weekend's getaway is just one more step along the journey and who knows? ... after some more time the next time you go, it may even be better.

'til later,
KAW
