I talked my husband into joining for in a course to strenghten our marriage that is provided by the church that sponsors my MOPS program. We have only attended one session, but I am so happy that we are going. James's view of religion is harsh, and I was worried we wouldn't make it through the first session without him walking out. We had a few moments where I could tell he was irritated, he rolled his eyes and made a few comments during the 2 hours, but he stayed for me... for us. AND, he's willing to go back. YAY!!
It is so easy to stop communicating in your marriage... this starts out as a crack but eventually lead to something close the grand canyon if it isn't fixed early on. I know that 7 weeks won't fix two years of a widening 'crack,' but I KNOW it will start to fill it and help us to fix things that we have lost control of.
I just want to say that the major point taken from our first session is 'marriage time.' No matter what, as a couple 1-2 hours a week needs to be set aside to focus on each other without our precious children stealing our attention. I have made a conscious effort to put away the computer, turn off the tv, close the book... just to spend quality time with my favorite man. :)
