The key...is to get your spouse there. When..and if... you can...I have heard that Retrouvaille CAN save marriages.
Go forward and enjoy. You are in the 5% group here. Congrats.

If you get to see this message Orich, please stay strong through the next few months - this is also for others going for future weekends. Much like you, Retrouvaille was a near miracle that helped give me and my W a chance to save our M. However, as the facilitators are quick to remind, you often leave the weekend on a high, and can come crashing down amidst reality in the next few weeks, sometimes as quickly as the next day (as it did for me).
Remember, it gave you hope and new life, there will continue to be ups and downs but stay the course and hold onto the new strength and purpose you have found.

I am happy for you and your wife, Orich. Continue the work at home and at the Post sessions. I always had confidence that you would have a good result.
