Same thing with marriage counseling. Why should we go when I won't do that they suggest.


He has a point. yes?

So... prove to him, that you have changed now, for the better.
This can be an opportunity for you.

He asked you for proof. This is an opportunity for you to prove it.


"H, you asked me how you can know that I have changed. Here is a way that you can have proof of that.
I know that we have tried marriage weekends in the past... and I did not follow the suggestions from the program.
I am truely sorry about that. I should have.


I want the chance to prove that I have a different attitude about our marriage now. If you will go with me to a Retrouville weekend, I promise that I will follow all their suggestions with you. I will even put that in writing for you, if you like.

Please go to the weekend with me, and then see if I keep my word. If I don't, then I deserve your mistrust, and even divorce.

I know that I will follow through with this one, though. I am committed to you, our marriage, and our children, to do this now.
