Yes, I think if there is no OW in the picture, and he is interested in working on the marriage, then Retrouvaille can help you. Retrouvaille is not like Marriage Encounter, which I admit to having no real knowledge about, but I think that is for couples in love. Retrouvaille is for people out of love. It will help those in love too, but you don't need to walk in the door that way. My husband and I had no idea when we walked in that door that we would be reconciling. We just went with an open mind, we would see what would happen there. If things improved, OK, we would go with it. If not, we would make the call to lawyers.
All they ask of participants is to go with an open mind and a willing heart. If he can do that, then you are ready for Retrouvaille. And believe me, plenty of the people there, are only marginally able to say that. Retrouvaille will help you even if you do not decide to reconcile, because it solves communication problems. No matter what the couple goes on to do in the future, better communication and understanding between the partners will help them.
