Chrissy, the cost of Retrouvaille is completely up to you other than the approx $100 deposit. They do not turn away for lack of finances. They "suggest" about $550.00 if I remember correctly which includes the food and lodging.

There isn't sharing in front of the group unless you want to. They talk about things and then there is a lot of one on one couple time to discuss. I don't want to give too much away or I could drain the power of the program. All I know is there was about 16 very tense, pissed off, at the end of their rope couples on Friday and by Sunday it looked like a room full of newly married couples.

Of course the glow fades a bit with time. Not all is perfect in my R but I would be divorced without Retrouvaille. I have a vested interest in your sitch as I feel like I have made a lot of the same mistakes your H has but I feel I am about 12 months ahead of where he is. (Edit: I checked out your bio and another thing we have in common is I'm younger than my W by a couple of years. Hmmm, interesting...) Check out their home page.. Do not be put off by the Catholic slant if that offends you. I am not Catholic and the religious aspect was very low-key.

Gone the carvings and those who left their mark.
Gone the kings and queens, now only the rats hold sway.
