It certainly will be if you both want to walk it! Otherwise, be thankful for a husband who lets you do your own thing!I really feel this will be so good for us to do together
It depends. My wife would divorce me if I got all controlling and dragged her along against her will.Is it bad or could it be bad for married people to go without each other?
KiwiNomad06 said:My friend who owns a gite in France has seen quite a few people 'leave' the Camino, deciding it is not something they want to continue with. He says the most common reason would be when there is a couple, and one person wants to do it, and the other actually doesn't. After a while, the person who never really wanted to do it in the first place leaves the Camino, and their partner either has to carry on alone or leave as well.

I've been a workaholic myself and one day my wife convinced me to become a walkaholic.senora1 said:I've been wanting to do this for more than 10 years, and after my husband and I saw "the Way" it reinforced my desire to walk El Camino. Unfortunately he is a workaholic, altho he works for himself, he says he can't be gone for a month.

I don't know, if your work requires privacy, but if it does, then I suggest you look into VPN connections.
Be sure to change all passwords that you have used without VPN, when you get home.
If I were to work without a VPN, I'd have my wife change the relevant password each night, from a predetermined list.
"The Way" also inspired me although I have long wanted to do the Camino. The house we have retired to in SW France is on the chemin; another reason. I am doing to alone in May from our front door and now have the blessing of my husband who is very envious (potential hip replacement). I am now having to contain myself for nine plus months..... At the risk of becoming boring on the Camino subject. I am telling my friends and nobody has said I have 'lost it' yet! I surf trek gear websites, routes, google hostels, and have even made a pile of 'things' to put in the rucksack which I am still researching. My husband will drive to Santiago to meet me -it will be a very emotional greeting for all the right reasons. He advises we stay in the Parador again (we visited Santiago in May) and at that stage I knew I had to do the Camino - I have been summoned. Bit late in life, but hey ho!! Buen Camino, keep safe and happy on your journey.senora1 said:I've been wanting to do this for more than 10 years, and after my husband and I saw "the Way" it reinforced my desire to walk El Camino.

Even tho he agreed to travel with me, I'm quite nervous because he's not commited to completing this. I know I could go alone, however I really feel this will be so good for us to do together. We plan to fly from San Diego to Paris 8/22, then fly to Biarritz, and train to SJPdP to begin 8/25. I'm getting both nervous and excited as its now a month away. Thanks for all the good posts, this forum has been so helpful! Looking forward to meeting fellow Peregrinos!

When you are packing, remember the lighter your pack, the happier you will be.
I hope those 2 links work. Each one is good for an evening of browsing.
Buen Camino,
