(Witness, Enrich, Dialogue, Support)

Witness
We witness to one another by sharing our experiences. We become family.

Enrich
We enrich each other by passing along ideas and resources, and by sharing ourselves.

Dialogue
 We continue to dialogue with our spouse so that we might grow ever closer to him/her. We believe that daily dialogue is a source of keeping our relationship alive and fruitful.

Support
We support one another in our goal of keeping our love for our spouse ever growing deeper. Love gets deeper and deeper when it is nurtured and fed. Our WEDS group is one source of that nurturing and feeding process.

WEDS – as Instruction for Dialogue

(Write, Exchange, Dialogue, Select)

Write..
 ..your love letter to an already chosen question for 10 minutes. Write for the full 10 minutes. Use the hot pen method. Describe your feelings in a way that will be relatable to your spouse.

Exchange..
..your love letter when you get together silently and lovingly, as this is a gift of yourselves to one another. Read each other's love letter twice silently. The first time read for the head. The second reading is for the heart. Go beyond the words and try to absorb the person and his/her feelings.

Dialogue..
..after you have read the letters twice. Decide which of you expressed the stronger feeling. Dialogue on the feeling for 10 minutes. Once you have exhausted all the ways to describe the feeling or your 10 minutes is up, the dialogue should be brought to closure.

Select..
..a question for the next day's dialogue now. Do not wait or it may not happen. Choose a question about things that are pertinent to your relationship. Take turns choosing questions.
