Actually the proof is in the pudding. If we read this situation all the way back, we see where Denver started and where he is now. I completely agree that becoming too comfortable would be detrimental. However, I don't see that to be the case right now AT ALL. He IS an example of how to get this thing done. (This is not to take away from anyone who is not able to achieve reconciliation. Sometimes, unfortunately, there is no saving it)
Additionally, that he is going to be doing marriage counseling says to me that he is taking this reconciliation business DEADLY SERIOUS. Listen, I've been down this road and screwed it up beyond all recognition. I'm living proof of the WRONG WAY. And, Denver has chosen the careful, introspective path. And he has every right to be proud of that. I have been with Denver from the beginning, he's no dummy. He understands that he is about to start the hard work.
Denver, sorry about talking to you as if you are not in the room. I am proud of you, sweetie.
