9:58 PM The couples retreat seemed to go very well. I spoke three times, on "Respect: The Foundation of a Strong Marriage," "A Judgmental Spirit: The Enemy of a Happy Marriage," and "Commitment: The Key to a Lasting Marriage." There was lots of chatter and laughter before and after the sessions, and a good bit of give-and-take during my talks. I hadn't done a couples conference in almost twenty years so it was fun for Marlene and me to be there. Afterwards we went out with Phil and Karen Newton for lunch and spent several hours laughing and talking and sharing stories together.
