Complimentary 12 Month Recovery Library Membership

You’ll receive 12 months of free access to the Recovery Library which typically costs $360.00. It gives you access to over 700 Expert Articles, Podcasts, and Videos that were authored by professionals who also have lived through and recovered from infidelity. If you don’t know about the Recovery Library yet, you can learn more here.

EMS Online Aftercare (optional)

After you’ve completed the 13 week course, we provide you with 52 weeks of online curriculum to help you continue meeting with your Small Group if you wish. The aftercare program is called Married for Life. By this point, you’ll be very familiar with the group process and your aftercare conference calls will be self-led by you or one your fellow group members.

• What's new in the 2^nd Edition of EMS Online?
  After three years of hard work, we’ve completely overhauled EMS Online to create one of the most well thought-out recovery courses available. We filmed thirteen incredible lectures with Rick, and twelve inspiring Mentor Couples who recall their journeys of healing, unscripted. So much video was going to be packed into this course that we moved offices and built our very own AR Studio to film it all.

This will be the time and day that your Small Group will meet via conference call weekly for the 13 weeks. Once we’ve finalized the groups, we will email your group’s Start Date to you.
• How soon will I be placed in a group and start the course after the registration deadline?
  Typically, groups start within two weeks of the first day of open registration. The more open everyone’s availability is, the sooner the group can start. Occasionally it may take longer for a group to start if there are fewer than five couples that absolutely can’t meet at the same time. However, you will immediately have access to your course materials and all of the Recovery Library resources while your group is being scheduled.
• I don't reside in the United States, can I still participate?
  Yes, you can participate! People from all around the world have participated in EMS Online and are now thriving from the experience. Our Group Leaders are worldwide as well. If you don't see a time above that will work for you, send us an email to info@hope-now.com. We'll let you know what we have coming up.
Important Note: The weekly conference call will NOT be a toll free number. It is a USA landline number and your calling plan rates will apply. If you are calling from outside the U.S. and do not have an applicable International calling plan, we suggest you use a VoIP system (i.e. Skype, Vonage, etc.). Purchasing VoIP credit is typically much less expensive than calling rates.


• What if my spouse is unsure if they want to participate in this course?
  We recommend that you talk to your spouse before making your EMS Online purchase. If your spouse would like to talk to an adviser for more information before you purchase, please have them contact us. We'd be happy to talk with them! This is a couple's course, so both people must be willing to take the course. We also recommend that you make yourself familiar with our refund policy before you purchase. You might also consider looking into our individual courses to start (Harboring Hope & Hope For Healing), until your spouse is ready to participate.
• What does a typical week look like?
  On your own time, before your group’s conference call for the week, you will first watch Rick’s Lecture video online (20 - 45 minutes), watch the two Mentor videos online 1) their story and 2) their reflection on the role that that week’s lesson played in their recovery (45 minutes), read the lesson in your workbook and complete exercises that later will be discussed with your group. The week culminates with your Small Group’s conference call that is led by your Group Leader (1.5 hours). They facilitate your group’s discussion of highs and lows, exercises, and encouragement. Throughout the week you can chat with your group on your private Small Group Wall (similar to a forum). This gives you 24/7 connection and support with your group so when you face similar challenges and victories you can discuss them with one another.
• Who are the Group Leaders?
  Each group is lead by one individual Group Leader who is carefully selected. Almost all of our Group Leaders are exceptional alumni of Affair Recovery’s programs. After experiencing incredible healing themselves, they feel a calling to help others who are where they once were. They have the compassion, desire, and talent that’s required to lead groups through this process. Our Group Leaders have more than just book-knowledge because they’ve personally experienced infidelity. They don’t just have sympathy; they have real empathy. We’ve found that people who have walked this path before and who have completed our Group Leader training program are able to provide incredible support, leadership, and encouragement during this difficult time. They are a light to others in darkness.
• What can I expect out of the weekly group phone calls?
  You will attend a call each week for about an hour and a half with other couples also seeking healing from infidelity. You will have a group leader who will facilitate conversation around the weekly curriculum and questions. Your group leader is there to provide an open and safe space to truly come as you are without shame or judgement so that you can share what you are learning throughout the 13-week course. Your group leader will not function as a therapist or counselor but a person that provides safety, encouragement, and structure.
• What if I'm not sure I want to save my marriage?
  If you’re not sure you want to save your marriage, you might also be not sure that you don’t want to save it. Many couples find that the course helps them solidify an answer to this question. Considering the emotional, financial, and relational cost of divorce, it’s probably worth exploring, for 90 days, whether or not your marriage can become something different, something that brings you joy. Even not having feelings for your mate at this point is normal. Even so, there’s a good chance that those feelings will come back, but not without some changes by both parties. If you’re willing to do the work, change can happen. EMS Online can help you get started.
• What if we already have a marriage therapist?
  Many marriage therapists actually recommend EMS Online to their current clients and continue seeing their clients while in the course. Therapists value the course’s powerful Small Group format because they know group work is the gold standard when healing from trauma and developing empathy. They have seen from past clients how thoroughly the course addresses the infidelity and how much faster their clients are able to heal the attachment wounds that resulted from the infidelity.
• What if sexual addiction is involved?
  EMS Online is a good fit as a first step because we help the couple heal from the betrayal(s) so that they can be on the same page to tackle the issue of addiction together in the future. We cover relapse prevention, how to identify high-risk behaviors (and how to avoid them), and outline the necessary steps to be taken to keep the relationship safe. This is not designed as a substitute for the protocols necessary for the specific treatment of an addiction and the work that must be done therein.
