For those of you wondering whether Retrouvaille is valuable and who might be still trying to convince your spouse to go-- Here is part of what my H wrote me today after our third day of dialogue since our Retro weekend. (We have been separated for six months plus.) I have deleted the more private info but wanted to give you a glimpse of what is possible--

H:"I am feeling more joyful about you. The feeling is like a smile that wants to come up on my face. If it were in nature it would be like a field of daisies in the morning sun. In terms of 1-10, I would say it's an 8."

Who knows where this will lead. No expectations. But it is nice to be on a paved and smoother road for a bit . . . I just wanted to show the folks here that there is always hope and that Retro is a really great program that can help improve marital communications greatly. Hang in there all.
