Some issues with our blog. There are MML classes periodically in the Vallejo area. Best is to check at www.camarriage.com and click on the tab that says "classes & trainings", then click on "Classes". Contact me directly at bento@camarriage.com if you have any other questions. I'll be teaching an MML Facilitator Training in Stockton on Mar. 26-27-28 -- that's also listed at camarriage.com, "classes & trainings". Hope that helps, and again, sorry for the delay. - Bento Ed – sorry it took me so long to get back to you. Some issues with our blog. There are MML classes periodically in the Vallejo area.

]]> Comment on Listening with Deep Empathy – Doorway to the Heart by Bea Strickland http://mmlskills.com/2008/11/22/listening-with-deep-empathy-doorway-to-the-heart/#comment-284 Bea Strickland Tue, 13 Oct 2009 20:56:22 +0000 http://mmlskills.wordpress.com/?p=66#comment-284 Hi Bento, What a relief it is to be listened to! When Jim shows understanding I feel important to him, helped to express myself and problems disappear! It always amazes me. When will we all learn what a powerful skill active listening/ reflective listening/ showing understanding is? Wouldn't it change the world? It sure changed our relationship!

We completed the worksheet for Problem Solving about our second dialog. The problem was supposed to be a low impact one, but it turned out to be of a small part of a substantive, vital facet of our marriage. We had been to marriage counseling with three counselors over the years, and to marriage enrichment groups and seminars, but the MML followed by the phone coaching has helped us immeasurably! Perhaps even saving us from divorce. We were beleagured and unable to solve our problem, no matter what we tried, and ended up in argument many times. We were getting so tired of what was happening, that we were not even bothering to argue any more.( The emotional divorce had begun). Our thanks to the CAmarriage and to Ken and Irma for the instruction and especially the follow up phone coaching. Those follow ups kept us on purpose, and did not allow for procrastination, or letting things simply go undone! With deepest gratitude, Karen I would like to add my comments to Karen's to express my appreciation for the dedication and sensitive, caring work which Ken and Irma did in working with us as phone coaches, following up from our MML session earlier this year. Both Ken and Irma showed incredible sensitivity, understanding and expertise in working with us through our issues during the phone coaching sessions. When we hit a difficult patch during our forth session, Ken even volunteered to help us with an additional, fifth session. This session was an essential part in our work to improve our marriage. We thank you for the MML program in general and especially for the loving and beneficial help of Ken and Irma. God Bless you all and thanks.

Congratulations! Ken and I just completed the MML class with Don and Alex Flecky and are sincerely blessed with the increased depth of communication we are experiencing! We married late in life and had a stable relationship, yet this program enhanced our communications, our sense of closeness, our camaraderie and our fun. Thank you for offering Mastering the Mysteries of Love series! Not only will couples have richer marriages, but consider all the children who will have stable parenting because you took the time to teach their parents communication skills! The potential for good is incredible! Don and Alex were great trainers! Their genuineness helped open our hearts to the program. Sharing their own stories made us feel less intimidated. I’m so impressed with the work this program and Don and Alex are doing. Thank you! This is a lovely blog site! Congratulations!
