Two years ago we were asked by some friends to join them on a couples’ retreat. It was a sailing adventure hosted by Winshape Marriage. We’d never done anything like it before, but we’d heard great things. Not fully understanding what we were agreeing to, we said yes.
To say “it was an adventure of a lifetime” is so cliche’, but it’s true. Seeing creation from the unique vantage point of a catamaran made the ocean appear bluer and the glow of the sunrises more vivid. Drew and I had time to just be together, no real agenda or expectations. We talked about our future and hinted at dreams. We also snorkeled and hiked, things we typically didn’t do together, but discovered we really enjoyed.
