Dave,

Glad to see Retrouvaille was helpful to you. I agree with you, it is good for any relationship. Too bad we don't learn to listen to each other and care about the other person's feelings when we get married instead of years later when we feel like failures. But as you see, it's never too late to improve things. I hope you will be able to get to the Post sessions. They are very worthwhile. And they go beyond simply dialoguing. Near the end of the sessions they teach the conflict resolution technique. Dialogue is good for understanding, but when you hit a true area of disagreement, it's not enough. You need the conflict resolution technique too.
