Hi all. H and I went to Retrouvaille on Sept 15-17. Dialogued once the first week. WEnt to the first follow up. He then told me that the spark wasn't back and that he wanted to move out. I know he's been looking for an apt. I bet you he's going to tell me tonight that he found one and will move at the end of the month. That's where I'm at.
Re the religious aspect of Retrouvaille: it was too much for my H. We're catholic but not to the same extent as the REtrouvaille volunteers/leaders are. I must admit that I also found it a bit too religious myself. It's supposed to be for couples of all faith but it is very, very much catholic (at least where in my city).
Sorry if this is not what some of you wanted to hear. I think the Retrouvalle people do a wonderful job and I still recommend it to couples with Relationship problems. I just think it's better to be warned in advance as to how it may be. I also think that the emphasis on religion likely vary from one city to another.
To those of you who are doing the dialogue homework, keep up the good work. I wish I was in your shoes. M
