As an unfaithful wife, I knew going into EMS weekend that I'd be in the minority of the attendees. But that also meant that my betrayed husband would be in the minority too. He already felt incredibly isolated before EMS since only a very small number of people in our life even knew what was happening with us. And I had quite a bit of uncertainty about how the weekend would go as well.
So how did it go! Wow....we were both shown grace, we were loved on, we learned so much and were challenged through the lectures and exercises, and grew in ways that we hadn't imagined possible. We also came away with a new group of friends who we continue to grow with and talk to on a daily basis. We've finished Beyond EMS together and have just launched into Married for Life. All five couples in our small group from EMS have chosen to continue on with this rocky, incredible journey. It means so much to be able to walk it with them.
Something else...we really loved getting to talk with the mentor couple who came and shared their story. There's a lot of hope in seeing someone who is a little further down the road in recovery, knowing that they are doing much more than just surviving, they are actually thriving. It's possible!
Incredible weekend
