I left behind a hubby and six young kiddos to walk the camino last year after a large influence in my life died suddenly of cancer. There was no time to plan hubby joining me and honestly he didn't have the massive desire to do it like I have had. I was glad to be on my own for my first Camino. When I saw young engaged couples walking the Camino together I thought what a gift for a couple to do together.
I wondered for those who have done it and can freely share was it as awesome as it seems?
My flight is booked for a very late March 2014 trip on the Camino full Frances...six months later God willing I will start in Le Puy with my three oldest children and do a Le Puy plus Frances with them.
We are entertaining hubby join me for my Frances to Leon...(due to work time constraints) and then
joining sons and me in Leon in the Fall to finish.
I was hoping couples who have gone can share some of their experiences and anything we should consider that might not be the obvious.
Because of the camino ?My experience was different.
I left a 15+ year relationship after walking the Camino.
I learned all about what I did NOT need, including that relationship.
We have remained good friends, however, and still occasionally do the Camino together.
Because of the camino ?
Loved your post, which expressed a lot of what my wife and I experienced walking the Camino from SJPdP to Santiago this fall.Walking the Camino hand-in-hand with my husband created a deepening in our relationship, which, after 38 years, was a surprise. The adventure created a shared experience, reawakened the child in us, and allowed us to see each other's uniqueness. We feel in love with each other all over again. Sounds gushy, but true.
These things happen and so I read , I am happy for you you made up your mind !Like I said, the Camino gave me time to think and to decide what I no longer needed in my life.
That relationship was one thing I was happier without.
