Title: Milestone with wife
Post by: Julie -2010 on August 06, 2018, 10:27:23 PM
Last Sunday was a milestone for me.  My wife attended my church with me.  She has never gone out with me in our home state of Colorado.  She did go out with me in Las Vegas twice but was very uncomfortable.  She told me a about a month ago that she wanted to attend with me and meet some of my friends.  I told her anytime, but I still wasn't sure she would go through with it.  It went well and she gave me positive feedback about the church and how accepting they are.  I don't know if she will go again but it is a start.

I have a wedding this Saturday and she is going to attend with me so chalk up another in the plus column.  I'll have to let you know how it goes.

I'm very happy for you, I love hearing about couples making an effort to work through all of this, and on each other.
