Mountaintop,

30 couples at ours, have to say from what I saw and heard 28 were moving toward being together at the end and many that verbalized were already there.

Amazing experience. I agree with your analysis, 2D to 3D is perfect. Felt good to be somewhere with so many people going through the same thing. To hear from the presenters who went through very tough issues and got through it to successful marriages.

My beautiful wife, looks even prettier, the sky looks sharper, a fog that existed for 8 months is lifting.

A lot of work to do and go from here on out, but what a start.

I plan to tell as many people as I can, who need it, about retrouvaille. It truly cannot be explained, it must be experienced.

Lotus- thank you and you were spot on in your advice and answers.

mza8, if you read the websites, talk to people who went, etc, everyone says you must come with an open mind and open heart. I am sure the success rate would rise to some astronomic level if that were the case. I think even those not fully open minded nor hearted should be encouraged to go from what I saw.

I know that answer is a little vague and other than me saying it is worth the effort tenfold. I would say to your W, 19 years together is a lot of time, give it one weekend, heck we'll spend more time than that even dividing our stuff up. Good luck.
