I really appreciated how you shared your own stories so we could better relate.  Your sense of humor and passion for this is great and made me feel very safe being here.  I also think (as you said) that this will work well (especially mirroring) in other relationships in my life, such as with my children and my employees.

The work Rod enables through his experience and teaching allows for the true purpose of a relationship to be identified: healing and growth.  We now have the tools to help each other be a more highly developed person.

 

 

I did not know what to expect but I was blown away with how the process works.  Rod made us feel normal and not ashamed that we had gotten stuck in our marriage. 

 

 

Considering marriage has been like standing on the bank of a wide river and watching so many couples drown and sink and waiting on my turn to jump and swim, and feeling a little helpless.  The tools and techniques we learned are a source of real hope that it can be done and can be done well.  I wish every couple could have this weekend.
