a good excuse
“My husband tried for a year to get me to go to Retrouvaille. A weekend would come up and he would ask me again to attend. I would have an excuse (“a good excuse”) each time. In January, I had run out of excuses, he had heard of so many couples who went and he wanted that for us too!!! I decided it was a weekend away without the 3 kids, we should try it!!!! Yes, I was surprised and a bit embarrassed when I realised that it was an experience that he and I could go through together and learn so much. I thank GOD for getting us there and my husband for waiting for me.”
