At the end, MC gave us two assignments:

1. Come up with items that you want forgiveness from your spouse for. Meet after the kids go to bed and ask for forgiveness for each item, taking turns. At the end, if there is a big one you think she missed, mention it and give her a chance to respond.

2. He asked us for each of us to pick one thing we would like to do with the other over the next week. My wife said she is really looking forward to going out, just the two of us, to a new restaraunt for my birthday Friday and that if we weren't, she would have picked that. I said that I miss the two of us sitting down a couple nights a week with a bottle of wine after the kids go to bed and just talking. He said both were great ideas so last night we sat down and talked for an hour. Some was surface level but a lot was beyond that and she talked about her plans for her Milwaukee trip next weekend. It was a great talk, just like the old days. We talked a lot in our MC about how much we missed each other and how she had found emotional escape with her close friends, and into her kindle and phone. This felt great and I am really looking forward to tonight.
