jak58,

They had a registration fee of 250.00 - once you are within a week of your session there is no refund but you can use this towards another future session.

They ask for a donation of $400 per couple - but this covers your two nights at the facility (ours was a Hilton hotel) and 3 meals on Sat and two on Sunday. You are asked to put into an envelope what you can afford and if you can afford more to give to help those that cannot pay. They will not turn anyone away for lack of funds. This also covers 24 hrs of post session too. We will meet for the next six Sundays from 2-6PM and this is where the brunt of the work happens.

My H is a typical male - not into his own feelings AT ALL. Never wrote me letters - well except for the two page once asking for a divorce in August 2006...most thought out letter that broke my heart (hence my name...)

He struggled somewhat on Saturday eve - it had been a long day- but he got through it and revealed quite a bit. Even last night we were swamped with household and kids stuff and he said we need to do our writing. It's not hard at all and it can be done in 20 mins TOTAL. I really really think this program is worth it and I have not even started the post sessions!!!! I am not saying we are fixed - he still cannot say ILY but I FEEL at peace for once and I understand his internal feelings for the first time...MC cannot do this - it does not teach you tools to commuincate (we have tried MC and IC...)

I hope you can help your H see the benefits of it...it truly helped us get through our paralyzing fears...

Let me know if you need other info..

We did have 28 couples - of all age groups. Some in there 20's, 30's mostly 40's and 50's even one couple pushing 80 - WOW not sure about them. My H said they probably were just 'looking for something to do for the weekend' LOL
