I recently asked my husband of 12 years to attend a Marriage Builders seminar with me in November. We have been going through some rough times and I am at the end of my rope. This is my last effort to save our marriage. His answer to my question about attending was "I don't know". I just don't know how to go about things from this point on. Should I simply make the reservations and tell him that I want him to go with me or ask him about it again?

Does your H know what the seminar is about? What is will be like? What it is for?

I'm sorry but I don't know your story. This is why I have asked these questions.

However, I do think it is inappropriate for you to make the reservations before talking with him in detail about it. One of the main elements of MB is the Policy of Joint Agreement. For you to make the reservations and then tell him about it would be a violation of this in my opinion.

I would suggest sitting him down and explain what it is and how much it means to you. Then go from there. Maybe even give him a deadline of sorts for an answer. Something like "I would really like us to go and would like to make the reservations by (insert date here), would you please give me an answer by then if you would be interested in going". Give him a couple of days to absorb the information.
