I received a call back this evening from I guess the person who runs this. Right now, my wife and her family hate me. Wife will not forgive although I have forgiven her. She has a lot of anger issues stemming from childhood. Their family dynamics are full of pride. When my wife was 6 yrs old, her grandfather, (who made himself very wealthy) was teaching her the piano. My wife kept making a mistake and he got so frustrated, he put her over his knee while her mother (mom's dad) did nothing.
To this day, they expect perfection. Were married 20 yrs as this past May but love hasn't existed for a long, long time. I would be willing to do this, but I know my wife will not. We tried marriage counsing 3 separate times but my wife would only go once. She is not willing to hear constructive criticism. I've made mistakes and I asked the Lord to help me change myself. I work very hard and now I do not let people get me angry because the only one who can get me angry is me.
My wife is always angry. For years, we wouldn't talk. She yelled and cursed at me, a few times she hit me in front of our 2 children and has to be in control of me. She has treated me like an idiot and I have resented that, held it in, then exploded. Her family always interferes. For over 17 yrs, I told my wife to speak to her Dad because he would get angry at me if I didn't agree that Jesus, His Passion and the Gospel is full of SHI@. My wife refused to do nothing.
The women on the phone from Retrouvaille is mailing me a flyer and told me there is one session a year, the next one in September here in New Jersey. When this flyer comes in, how do I sell this to my wife? The woman I spoke to said the session challanges you to make changes and only by a miracle from God will that happen.
