I know about Retrouvaille. First off, it originated in the Catholic Faith but it really doesn't matter what religion you are or if you are super religious. What it also isn't is a money maker. They are so interested in helping couples that if you don't have the money they will pay your expenses right down to the hotel room. The other thing that is amazing is that the success rate is very high. Of course you have to consider the fact that both parties have to agree to not only go for the intilial weekend but you also agree to follow-up weekends as part of the deal. In my case they sent out paperwork for us both to fill out but they also want to speak with the WA to make sure that they agree to the conditions and that they are attending for the right reasons.
I had originally been in touch with the leader of a group in the St Louis area. She had been a WA and had gone to these sessions but originally never thought that there was much to save. She told me that it completely changed how she not only related to her husband but how she viewed her marriage and herself. Her belief in it was so great that she had been leading these retreats with her husband for the last 10 years.
So if you can get your wife to agree to all of the above, it's certainly worth a shot!
