Hi edie,

Here is what I know.

I know that they won't accept any couple unless both parties agree to it in writing. I believe after the initial weekends you are commiting to 6-8 follow-up weekends. They keep you with the same group of couples that you started out with, giving you the chance to make some good and long lasting relationships. The success rates is amazing, somewhere in the high 80's. It is non-denominational, although is it a Catholic run program. If you can't afford the price of the hotel they will gladly pay for it. So really it's all good!

When I originally looked into it I contacted a leader in St Louis. She told me that in her case she was the one who wanted the divorce and pretty much went to say she tried. It so transformed her marriage that she is a true believer and has run a group with her husband for the last 12 years.

I agree with Sara. No middle man means that you and your husband are doing all of the repair work.

Good luck..........

Bethie
