Thanks. Yes she is trying and actually doing things. It will be interesting to see if she goes beyond sex once a week or if the therapist needs to step in and work with us on that.
It will also be interesting to see how the couples weekend goes It is the Gottman Institute workshop and one of their things is the 5 hours a week thing about connecting at the start of each day, when we see each other at night and then just prior to going to sleep. I think that routine, could be a great quality time bonding ritual. http://artofmanliness.com/2009/07/08/diy-marriage-counseling/
I will let everyone know how the weekend goes.
I hope that you and your wife find the break through you are looking for.
