Sadly my W insisted we leave at the end of day two so as I said it weeds out those who aren't ready.
I feel like I should caution you to keep your expectations low. I think you should be encouraged by her apparent change in commitment but this was won in an environment and spirit of support and healing very different from your daily life.
You have to remain commited to piecing the marriage back together and don't get discouraged if she pulls back.
It may take her longer...than just a weekend is my point.
Don't pressure her. Remember what has gotten you here. Remember your DBing.
Crimson- I went when I was very much separated from the church ( I was raised Catholic) and i was very concerned it was going to be a Bible thumping party.
It was not at all.
There was a priest there but he was not there do give spiritual guidance he was there as a witness to his own failed relationship to his vows as a priest. He was a recovering alcoholic. Very interesting as it related to anyone putting on a mask in a marriage and disquising and hiding themsleves from their true commitment.
I think it is a very powerful program, it difuses conflict and helps couples communicate in a safe and non threatening manner.
J I think the follow on sessions will be very important for you to attend as well.
Keep your courage and your eye on the prize. This is a positive step I think but one of many down a path hopefully to your goal.
My goal is to some day be the person my dog thinks I am
