Hello!
I recently attended your seminar in St. Louis, Missouri. What fun! And most importantly, you have given me HOPE!
Before your seminar, I was deeply depressed about my 12-year marriage. I was very unhappy and it was running over into all areas of my life. Communication with my husband was next to impossible. I didn’t know where to turn next and believed that all the problems were mine. I even started seeing a psychiatrist shortly before your seminar.
When I saw your brochure, I decided to present it to my husband and see if he might consider going. I’ve done this many times before and the answer has always been no – he doesn’t need any help. The way you described the seminar was very non-threatening for him and gave him the idea that it might even be entertaining. Reluctantly he agreed to go on Friday night. Of course, I didn’t tell him it was for two days.
When Mark announced Friday night that part two was on Saturday my husband quickly told me he couldn’t/wouldn’t attend Saturday. He said he had a full day’s worth of work to do. I said that was fine and that I was just glad he came on Friday night. (We arrived in separate cars.)
Much to my surprise, not only did my husband enjoy the seminar, he actually listened and had a great time. We had a good conversation that evening and he told me he would take me again on Saturday – a miracle! After Saturday’s conference, he ended up spending the majority of the weekend with me – something that hasn’t happened in years. We had several good–very good–conversations and we are both open to working things out. My husband even is interested in doing the Flag Page and asked me to buy the book and two codes!
The thing that Mark had us say to each other at the end of the seminar was just icing on the cake. My husband has NEVER apologized for anything nor admitted that he is less than perfect in any area. My hat is off to you guys! I’m not at all saying that I’m the world’s greatest wife, but now I have a place to begin with my husband – a common ground, so to speak, for us to start. Thank You!!! (You even made him cry at the end and I’ve never seen him cry.)
I very much want to support and share your ministry in any way I can. I have already shared your DVD with many couples and they can’t wait until you guys come back to St. Louis!
Blessings to all of you,
Mary Blue
