I learned a lot about myself and how to be a better listener and a soft-emotion talker. My husband did not participate but I feel it was still beneficial for me. I think if he participated some old hurts would have healed because the program helps you have a softened heart and gives you tools to work out differences.
I did find Bruce’s statement about what is not love is a misunderstanding true a lot of the time. An example ( my husband and I do not live together) my husband attended a retirement party for someone who did not pay their bill with my business office. I was greatly offended. He totally forget about it and said had he remembered he would not have attended. Before the program, I would have just been hurt. However, instead, we spoke about it and I no longer have any negative emotions.
