Wow, as posted in the Newcomers forum it's been a little of 6 months, but seems like 6 years. I truly think that Retrouvaille and dialogue saved our marriage.

Right now, W and I are beginning our new marriage together after being together for 22 years. God has performed a miracle on us. It won't be easy all the time, but I have learned to be a better man through all of this and for that I'm grateful!

W and I are going on a vacation this week and it should be great. I'll post more later, but thanks to all at DB for your support. I wouldn't have made it without all of you and your advice/experience. Later, J

Since last post we spent a week on vacation together. It went really well and things are very good for us now. We've missed some dialogues, but talk a lot about things and pray together often, so I think it's ok. It's almost like I got a new wife or the alien decided to go back home from her body. Cannot really describe it any other way, but want to keep positive.

We are celebrating our 15th anniversary tomorrow. Things have been good, thanks to DB and Retrouvaille, which saved our marriage. We went to 1 post session dinner, but felt too much like the "kids" in class that were there, so I don't know if we'll be back, but it was good for us. There is always hope! J
