While waiting for _Finding Neverland_ to start this afternoon, he leaned
over and said this was our best year yet! <G> The Sweetie! >>
Congratulations! Wonderful.
Kelly, could you please tell again the marriage counselling outfit you and
Ben went to a while back? And is there a web link you could give? Irene might
not be the only one who could use it, and what a gift to give to children at
Christmas and all the time for their parents to be getting along!

Retrouvaille. _http://www.retrouvaille.org/_ (http://www.retrouvaille.org/)
It's Catholic-based, although you must not be Catholic to attend. They
even accepted this atheist! <g> It's a full weekend---intensive and exhausting.
But it's very powerful. If you *want* help, it's a great place to go. One
thing Ben and I realized after hearing others' situations was that *ours* wasn't
nearly as bad! <g>
Here's a blurb from their website. On the website, you can click on your
area of the country to see when the next session near you will be held.
I highly recommend it.

ABOUT THE RETROUVAILLE PROGRAM
Retrouvaille is a live-in weekend and post weekend program for married
couples. The emphasis is on a technique of communication between a husband and
wife. During the weekend, a series of in-depth presentations are given to you
and other couples like yourselves. Each presentation, given by one of three
married couples and a priest, focuses on a specific area of a marriage
relationship. After each presentation, you will have a chance to reflect on it by
yourself, then discuss it with your spouse in complete privacy. The weekend is
not a spiritual retreat, not a sensitivity group, not a seminar, nor is it a
social gathering. You will, however be encouraged, to put the past behind you
and start 'rediscovering' one another again. The weekend is not a 'miracle
cure', therefore, post-weekend sessions have been designed to continue the
marriage renewal begun on the weekend. These follow-ups review earlier concepts in
greater depth, present new ones and help you apply these concepts to your own
marriage.
HOW CAN YOU GET MORE INFORMATION?
If you wish to remain anonymous when calling for more information, you need
not identify yourself.
If you then wish to register on a program, please be assured that all names
are kept in strictest confidence.
For U.S.A. contacts, please call 800-470-2230
