Waiting, Waiting

Last night Mrs. Ray told me she had been to the counselor. But she still is keeping her option open to move on, rather than work on rebuilding. But I believe the counselor, “Agnes”, is also working on rebuilding, but in her way. (Mrs. Ray said Agnes is working to help Mrs. Ray work through Mrs. Ray's own issues, but I think they also talk about my issues, as far as they relate to Mrs. Ray, too!)

Mrs. Ray already wanted to straighten out the arrangement when we go to Retrouvaille. We will be in the same hotel room for two nights, probably with one bed. But no hanky panky, now!

And she brought up the classic "How is a Catholic priest going to help us with marriage issues?*" I understand from Retrouvaille's web site that the weekend retreat is very powerful in rebuilding marriages. They focus on communication. So, for now, I'm just waiting for the next two weeks to go by, until we get to the retreat.

*The Retrouvaille session leaders also include three couples who have been through a breakup and reconciliation.
