This is my first time sharing here so please BARE with me. My wife (Hildy) and I were married young and like many young marrieds although we loved each other we had our problems.
Divorce was not an option for either of us but we did not know how to go about working through things. A friend of Hildy told her that this retreat has helped save their marriage so we signed up. It was a week long retreat, arriving Saturday afternoon and leaving Friday after lunch.
Arriving, we were instructed to leave our luggage on the front porch, check in and then go to the dining hall. In time there were 98 couples including Hildy and me. The hosts, a good looking couple in their mid 40s, and they told us a little about themselves and then had each couple stand up, introduce themselves, tell where we were from, what we did, why we were here and then something interesting about each other.
I told them that Hildy (5’7” with long red hair, green eyes and great legs) was the led cheerleader in high school long with the homecoming queen and prom queen. She told them I was the starting quarterback, homecoming king and prom king.
After everyone stood and spoke, we were led to dorm building and told that our luggage was waiting for us. The shock and surprise came when we all saw that the sleeping quarters was one large room with 8 double beds, each with our luggage on the one assigned to us.
Next was the bathroom which consisted of toilet stalls without doors along the left wall, urinals along the back wall and sinks along the right wall. The showers were next and it was one large room with 8 showers heads. The look on all of our faces showed the same shock and surprise.
As we gathered back into the communal dorm room, the hosts explained that accepting physical openness helps to embrace our other issues and work through them. Then we were left to ourselves to prepare for bed. Needless to say, we all slept in our clothes that night
Hildy and I are used to getting up early and working out, so we got up before the others and headed to the showers, but before we could finish, the others began pouring in until all 8 couples were naked together in the showers.
For the first several minutes, there was an awkward or uneasy silence that was eventually broken by the snickering of several of the wives as half of us men were sporting full erections. That was the beginning of what turned out to be a most memorable and impactful week.
