Thanks Hope... I think he does. I know we've got a long road ahead, but I think he does. It is encouraging to hear that from someone else too.
Lotus, I have brought that idea up. My H has an issue with it having a Catholic "base" to it, even though I've explained to him that is not the focus, nor is that pushed. I think it would be great for us, and am hoping he will soften to the idea in time.

On another note, today is the 22nd anniversary of our very first date. I started to say something about it this a.m. and H jumped in and finished for me, saying... "do you think I wouldn't remember Dec. 18th?" He gave me a hug and we had a nice nostalgic moment together. I think he does get it.
