Sunny, Thanks for posting about New Beginnings. I'm glad to hear that there are other alternatives. Especially for people who don't like the Christian component of Retrouvaille.
Peachy,
Yes, if you admit that there is a 3rd party, they don't want you to do the weekend. There are too many couples needing help and only about 30 couples can go to any weekend. So they are a little picky. They try to weed out the ones that they have less success with, and those are the couples with a 3rd party involved. The other large impediment to success is alcoholism or drug addiction. Retrouvaille cannot solve those problems either. Retrouvaille is most effective for couples who have a communication problem, that is they just don't agree with each other. You say black he says white. They are very effective with that kind of thing.
