God showed up!
I went into the intensive with the goal of learning what I could do better to love my bride where she is at. To either understand her or learn to accept how she feels about certain buttons she has. I hoped that she would come to some clarity about the fact that I truly do cherish her and that we could bust down the roadblocks in our lives. Following some intense conversations on the eve of the first night and the next morning I was 80% sure I wasn't going to benefit from this process. I felt as though the whole thing was geared towards teaching me skills to help her and that I was an afterthought. Gradually as the 2nd morning went on I uncrossed my arms, then slowly adjusted my chair closer to her and before I knew it I was holding her hand then finally wishing we were on a couch instead of 2 separate chairs so I could sit closer to her. I started seeing her as a strong loving woman who needs me to speak her love language and just listen and affirm. We will truly both reap tremendous benefits from our intensive! Thank you JESUS!
