C-Bart, you are so right. Lack of hope is a marriage killer. Good thing is, hope is contagious. I think it may be one reason Retrouvaille is effective.

But there they are, sitting in front of you, with tears in their eyes, holding hands while they tell their stories. If they can do it, you can too. That's the message that I heard.
