Hi Luke. So, lots of stuff happening, yea? So glad the retreat weekend went well. As I said, you are right there so you needed to decide what was best regarding whether to go or not.

Happy it gave you tools for comunicating. That really was my hope for you.

So, just a couple things I want to put out there, if I may. I don't like labels. Never have. Dont like the lbs one because I wasn't left behind. smile. I know they have their place as points of reference though. But I dont think I would think in terms of piecing. That just sets you up to fail, in my opinion. I think you should continue on your path and see where it leads you. You are building some great roads with your wife. The hope is that these roads lead to a a strong foundation and a new relationship if that's what you want.

I think that your renewed faith and all your inner work allowed you to really hear what you needed to during that weekend. Had you not had all of that, it would have been a different outcome.

Keep going, Luke. Keep learning and growing. Try to remember that her crisis was a deep one. She needs to figure out what brought her to it.

Im so very happy that you seem at peace.
