Not sure how to handle this

My H and I did this Back in September...its a weekend retreat of sorts, its sponsored by the Catholic Church, but is not religious in how its done, there is a preist there for the weekend too, but he is there for support. No reglion is forced upon you at all!

There are 3 presenting couples who have gone through marriage crisis's and come through it, and they present what they went through very honestly and openly.
But the purpose of the weekend is to teach couples to communicate effectively, and this is done by doing something called dialoguing. It is not a weekend of dragging up the past, but learning to work on the future, and everything is done with just the 2 of you, there is no sharing as a group.
You sit through a session, at the end of which you are given a question to dialogue about, at which time one of the couples goes to the hotel room, and the others stays were they are to write, then they come up and you read and then talk about what you have read.
I am not doing it justice, but one thing is on the Friday night when you arrive, you can tell that couples are in crisis, but by the Sunday, people are holding hands, have arms around each other.
It is a wonderful program.
After this, there are usually 6 one day(less then a full day) sessions, which are also very important.
There are a few people on here that have done it, you will have to hunt around, but there are some threads on it, Sara is a good person to speak to about it too.
