Absolutely - An 80% success rate when both people are actively trying to resolve the problems in the marriage isn't even worth quoting in the context of DB'ing.

I'm sure we'd all a similar success if our spouses wanted to try.
This makes sense to me. Tho' I also wonder how they really measure success. Perhaps 80% of those that attend get a warm fuzzy feeling for a few days/weeks after that and then the "dialogging" dies out; who really knows. What they told me is that "it doesn't work for everyone" or some excuse like that.
