Saus and HIC,

once again, many thanks. very reassuring thoughts from both of you.

when I brought up the intensive w/W I was so worried that I created an enormous setback. She immediatley perceived it as an attempt to pursue more marriage counseling and was quite skeptical and a bit frustrated . So, at that point I had to share DR w/her and did use the advice Virginia provided for trying encourage W to go. She took the book with her and agreed to consider attending an intensive. It's been about 9 days and we've had a couple brief, but friendly phone conversations, but DR or the intensive has not been brought up. So, not sure what she's thinking or if she's even reading the book.

Now I'm looking for the appropriate time to discuss it w/her again. Don't want to be too pushy with her. It's even more challenging since she has OM in her life. I'm sure much of her reluctance is related to the possibility of losing OM if she goes through with this.

Again, I am so very thankful for what both of you are sharing, and will continue to keep ya'll in my prayers. I hope I can be as helpful and inspirational as the two of you have been and I'm sure will continue to be.
