Retrouvaille is an intense weekend program, and as you know, there seem to be an infinite number of unhappy marriages. They know they can't help everyone, so they are selective in this way. Before you come, they ask if you have a third party involved in the marriage. If so, then as the doc says, they tell you that all contact has to be broken off first. They are serious about helping the 25 or 30 couples who attend the weekend. They want the couples to be serious about it too. The only other requirement is that they ask you to come "with an open mind and a willing heart."
