This past Saturday was the five year anniversary of the beginning of the end of our 16-month separation. With much reluctance Sharon joined me at a PAIRS (Practical Application of Intimate Relationship Skills) seminar led by Jeff and Jill Williams of www.graceandtruthrelationship.com. With Jesus’ help that was the day our marriage went from heading towards divorce to heading towards reconciliation. It took another two months for us to live together again, but after that day I had little doubt that our marriage would turn around.

This year on the anniversary, we participated in a RINGS training provided by the Marriage Resource Center of the Miami Valley (http://www.marriageresourcecenter.org/). Similar concepts, but we still learned new things about each other and grew closer.
