Testimonials

"I was hesitant to attend because I didn't believe our issue needed intense counseling. However, I discovered my partner was dealing with a lot of trauma from my missteps. It was essential to hear and deal with this."

"I came in feeling very broken and finding myself quite discouraged. EMS gave me peace and hope that I thought was no longer possible."

"Communication in my marriage started faltering, [but] after this weekend we were able to start communicating better. We've been married for almost 20 years and our communication has changed since we've grown, had children, job changes etc. This weekend helped my marriage on several aspects. It helped me see the pain and suffering my spouse has been going through. I've been able to put emotions into words better. We started with the marriage boot camp and decided to do the virtual weekend. We are very happy with the material we received."

"My experience with EMS was much better than I expected. To be honest, I wasn't too sure what to expect from EMS. I was hopeful that it wasn't more of the same old generic "Tell me how you feel about that" therapy sessions I had been involved with. EMS hit at the heart of what I needed: a feeling that I wasn't alone in this situation, that I wasn't just a source of income for a therapist, and that my emotions and concerns were founded and real. I feel much more hopeful for my marriage than before EMS, optimistic about our future as a couple, and more capable of facing the task of reconciliation."

"I had read many of the excellent reviews and was expecting the lectures and small group discussions. But you still wonder what it will be like trying to connect with other couples virtually. We may have felt slightly awkward initially (my hubby's anxiety was really high before), but our Small Group Leader really got everyone relaxed and engaged and ultimately we really did connect with the other couples. Overall the entire weekend provided the right balance of instruction, small group discussions with productive exercises, and open and honest dialogue. We were given tools for now and moving forward with HOPE. It is faith-based, and even my atheist husband was not offended or put off in any way. It was all so helpful - THANK YOU AR team!!"

"Oh my! The night before EMS was nerve wrecking. My wife and I, both, were so nervous. We had no point of reference to try and understand what we were about to encounter. Our experience was life changing. We made amazing connections and grained so much insight that helped us see clearly. We learned so much about ourselves and the challenges that led us to where we are today. We feel better equipped to move forward. Words can't describe how grateful we are for this program and the people that lead it. They all fully understand where we're coming from because they have been in our shoes. WOW! That's all I can say. Thank you! We know the road ahead will be challenging but we no longer feel alone and ill-equipped. God bless you all!"

"I am way more hopeful about my future and that of my marriage. I began seeing my mate in a different light. This shift in my perspective is allowing me to choose a different response, to not claim victimhood, rather, acknowledge the truth about being victimized AND not holding on to that but move forward differently now that my reality has forever been changed by knowing the things that were hidden from me before. I experienced compassion from others who know exactly the level of pain betrayal inflicts. I felt encouraged by the stories of alumni and saw sincere transformation in my small group couples. I honestly don't know what I was expecting before EMS, but it wasn't this. I was nervous about engaging with new people in an unknown setting but it was amazing. My experience was uplifting and REAL."

"I was expecting more guidance about affair recovery and felt like I received this. I was also able to forgive my partner after 3 years. I am feeling more hopeful about my relationship."

2/15/26

- Virtual | EMSW Participant

"Before I attended the Virtual EMS I was a bit nervous of how it would go. I am glad I attended because I have realized with a deeper understanding that a lot of work needs to be put forth in order to heal and forgive old wounds and also to prevent new ones from occurring. I have hope for our marriage reconciliation and stronger coping methods to keep it awake and healthy in our new marriage."

- Virtual | EMSW Participant

"EMS Weekend was very helpful in helping us understand our situation and provided tools to communicate more effectively. The stories from the group leaders and alumni were reassuring that our situation, although unfortunate, was not unique and that overcoming infidelity was possible."

"Expected a "reset" and got it plus way more content, tools, community and hope for the forward path."

"Great experience. About 8 weeks after D-Day and we've done very little couples work before this. My spouse has begun seeing a therapist but otherwise we came in with little processing done. We felt so supported and now equipped with tools to continue healing."

12/14/25

- Virtual | EMSW Participant

"I thought Virtual EMS Weekend would feel less intimate. I was dreading the group activities because I thought they would be awkward. I didn't think I would feel comfortable being open with complete strangers. I was so wrong. We had an immediate connection due to our shared experiences of infidelity. Being with the group easily became the best part of EMS! I feel more optimistic about moving forward and finding healing in my marriage! "

11/16/25

- Virtual | EMSW Participant

"I wasn't sure what to expect especially since my husband had been living in secrecy, denial and defensiveness. The weekend helped us to release all of these emotions, and become committed to change. We learned a great deal to help us change the negative paths we have been on, and are hopeful about the future. "

11/16/25

- Virtual | EMSW Participant

"Before EMS, I had serious concerns about continuing in the marriage and felt so alone and isolated. I also could not wrap my head around how my partner could do what he did to me. Hearing the betrayers tell their stories, gave me a new understanding and empathy for me husband. The fact that we had two ladies who had betrayed their partner's helped even more. I felt so much empathy for these ladies. It helped me see that we are all capable of falling into sin. Everyone in our group went all in with sharing and vulnerability. Watching couples work through these very difficult hurdles (with the assistance of [our Small Group Leader]) and support from group members benefitted all of us. I am also so glad that we will be able to continue meeting and continue to see growth and cheer each other on in this journey."

- Virtual | EMSW Participant

"Our experience at EMS far exceeded our expectations! My husband and I expressed that we had high expectations for this weekend after completing the 7-Day Boot Camp, but the virtual EMS went beyond what either of us could have hoped for. The group format, the content and the guided expertise of [our Small Group Leader] facilitated healing in areas we didn't even realize we required. We are both truly grateful to everyone, especially God for bringing this special and formative experience to us. Thank you!!!"

"I was hopeful for community and we definitely experienced community with our small group. I also longed for my husband to "get it" and I believe that is being fulfilled as we continue "training" in our journey. Hearing other couples’ experiences has lessened the awful feeling of isolation and allowed the hope for friendships that understand."

8/24/25

- Virtual | EMSW Participant

"Before EMS I was expecting the same level of kindness and understanding and wisdom as we understood from watching videos prior to attending. We experienced what we had hoped to experience and much more, as it was even more in depth but hearing people speak in real time was even more fulfilling. I have hope for our marriage and that it can last long into our golden years. "

9/10/24

- Virtual | EMSW Participant

"I had no expectations honestly. I was not hopeful going into the weekend. I believed I would walk away needing to move towards divorce. At the end of the weekend, I had hope that maybe we could recover; maybe we could heal. This was huge!! I am more hopeful than I have been up until now. There is a lot to do; but we have some new tools to help us. "

8/24/24

- Virtual | EMSW Participant

"I was expecting intense sessions and maybe a few tears, but it brought out so much more. I gained a much better understanding and sympathy for my husband's pain and trauma that led him to stray. My heart broke during the "Heart of Man" video and focused my anger on the sin itself rather than my husband. It made me see him more through God's eyes rather than with contempt or bitterness. "

6/22/24

- Virtual | EMSW Participant

"I was expecting lots of positive affirmations and "It's nobody's fault." I experienced a focused, professional journey that didn't minimize my wife's infidelity, but provided room to have discussion that allowed her an opportunity to be responsible yet not condemned. No mean feat. I feel much more positive about the potential to build a new future for our marriage and family in the future. Probably the single most impactful 3 days of my life outside of the the birth of my children, entering the military, or my first combat experience."

5/18/24

- Virtual | EMSW Participant

"I found the curriculum very well built up and tackled all the issues involved and then some. I definitely felt that no one was out to shame or blame either side. I truly wanted my unfaithful husband to receive some healing, and he did! It has opened up discussions for us that we have not been able to have. We definitely have better perspective on ourselves, our thinking and habit patterns, our communication, our upbringings and issues there, slowly working through the affair issues as well. I do not know what will happen to our marriage... I am standing for it, but my husband is still unsure. But I believe EMS helped us to turn in the right direction, both for our own individual healings, and hopefully with that, it will lead us also in the right direction for the future of our marriage."

"I wasn't sure what to expect! I went into this with a little bit of hope but not much at all. It was a last-ditch Hail Mary. Afterwards all I can say is WOW!!! Amazing tools/information and so much healing. We've applied the tools multiple times now already and it's already transforming our marriage in such a short amount of time. Also very thankful for the online availability. This wouldn't have been possible without that! This gave our marriage a real chance and I have so much hope that we can overcome this! Also the staff, I don't even have words on how relatable, sweet and helpful they were! I was sad it was ending just because of that. I've felt for 16 months since D-Day that I have been on an island alone. Being involved with people who have gone through this helped me feel included and not alone! That all by itself without anything else was so helpful and healing. Thank you for this program! It may have saved our marriage. "

4/13/24

- Virtual | EMSW Participant

"I went into the weekend expecting it to be helpful but was a bit skeptical of the recovery progress it seemingly appeared to promise. I left feeling so much more empathy towards my husband which I feel will not only allow myself to heal quicker but it could have possibly saved my marriage. I am hopeful that my husband and I now have the tools needed to move forward through this mess successfully and towards a much more meaningful relationship."

4/13/24

- Virtual | EMSW Participant

"I had no idea what to expect, but I knew we needed it and we are both grateful for this offering to better ourselves. The key is clearly working with those that are and or have experienced the same things...especially for my wife."

" I was desperate and had lost hope in ever finding a path to recovery after thousands of dollars spent on private therapists, books and lectures only 3 months into “recovery." As the betrayed spouse I found myself lost, disoriented, dysregulated and becoming increasingly hopeless with no real path out of my despair. Then the program started, we met our small group, therapist and lecturers (who were all amazing!) this program allowed me to see a glimpse into the heart of my husband. It helped him to put words to his feelings and helped him express his thoughts. It helped me understand so many of the “why" questions swirling in my head and also see the struggles, shame, embarrassment and confusion he was undergoing in his own head. It allowed me to identify my needs and validate my feelings. For the first time in months I felt listened to, respected and valued by my husband (and he was able to verbalize that it was never that he didn't feel the emotions, it was that he didn't know how to communicate them). I felt a true connection and experienced a raw, vulnerable side of my husband that I have never seen in 18 years. I know this was just the beginning and this will be a long journey but this weekend secured me with the tools I needed to begin to heal and work on myself, regardless of where our marriage leads. Thank you!!"

"I was skeptical. I was expecting religious focus. I'm religious, but I sometimes find it can be used as a crutch and forced upon you. Spirituality is different for everyone. I experienced ways to let my wife and others like me see what I'm really thinking. I left KNOWING I have a lot of work ahead of me, and things will never be the same. But I have hope and optimism that something new can be obtained, something real, not just something I talk about wanting."

"I had a lot of anxiety the week leading up to the weekend and had a flooding meltdown Thursday night that brought back all the feelings of D-day. I was not in a good headspace Friday morning and fearful of what the day might bring. Our small group leader was a calming force and helped me to stabilize. I experienced a very well rounded professional group of people on the AR staff that are caring and kind and loving. For the first time in months I feel hopeful that my husband and I may in fact have a future together."

- Virtual | EMSW Participant

"I was filled with anxiety about the weekend before attending. I did not really know what to expect. Once the weekend began, my anxiety essentially disappeared. Although difficult and intensive, the weekend was so beneficial! I would recommend it to anyone that finds themselves in this situation. After attending we have so much more hope for the future of our marriage."

11/12/23

"I felt like EMS weekend was exactly what we needed to help us but I had no idea just exactly how much it would help us and it addressed things we had no idea we needed to think about. We are feeling so much more hopeful for our marriage, and while we still have lots of healing to do, there is hope."

"I am so deeply grateful that my spouse and I were able to attend EMS weekend online. I feel more calm and grounded about my past, present, and my future. I feel better knowing my entire past wasn't a lie. I feel less fear and anger for my current situation because my pain was acknowledged. I left with healthy coping strategies and tools to be more empowered in the future. I had a pivotal mental shift on how to handle my triggers that I had been struggling with for 2 years. It was so refreshing to be in a supportive group of others in the same situation instead of feeling so isolated. I felt so seen and understood, and so did my spouse."

"We took EMS Online 5 years ago, but we were not at ground zero--more information about PREVIOUS infidelity had recently come out, so we took the weekend course. We were remote and it was very good. Our small group was awesome and we were able to bond just as well as if we were in person. I'm disappointed that we have had to be participants again, but AR was the only place I trusted to help us--we had many of the tools already, but the intense refresher course was just what we needed."

10/15/23

- Virtual | EMSW Participant

"I thought I would feel shameful. I was afraid and not sure why I was attending. After the first morning group I felt understood, safe, and validated. I felt at peace knowing all my feelings were normal and it was ok. I never felt alone! I very quickly gained an understanding of why I was there, how it could help, and hope for the future. I feel very supported and with a lot of resources to support our progress and future."

10/15/23

- Virtual | EMSW Participant

"Before attendance, I was skeptical about how EMS would work out via Zoom. The weekend was unforgettable and transformative for our healing journey! Infidelity is a lonely, painful experience, but EMS transported us from the real world, where few people understood our pain, to a private island where everybody understood our pain and spoke our language. Through our group leader's skillful guidance and 3 days of soul-baring activities, my spouse and I experienced incredible healing. Our small group, who started out as strangers, cried and laughed together; it was hard to describe unless you experienced it firsthand. Now we have learned new skills to rebuild ourselves and our marriage."

5/14/23

"We enrolled in EMS ~six weeks after the 1st big D-Day. The three weeks until EMS was the slowest passage of time we had ever experienced as we were living in the constant chaos of flooding, triggers, anger, fear, shame, pain and sadness. While AR Bootcamp and the Resource Library provided some help, it was nothing compared to the powerful support, safety, compassion, kindness and hope we received from the EMS Leaders through the information, practices, processes and guidance they provided. The fact that all the leaders have walked the dark road of affair recovery themselves and being a part of a small group who know what you are going through was invaluable. My husband and I agreed that we both left having experienced the beginnings of healing deep wounds and knowing each other, ourselves and our marriage (past and present) better to start working towards a loving and meaningful future no matter what it looks like."

5/14/23

- Virtual | EMSW Participant

"I have seen many of the AR videos, and found them to be the only ones that acknowledge the pain and trauma that the betrayed spouse goes through. It's amazing how little any of my marriage or individual counselors addressed that. EMS made me feel like what I was going through was to be expected and normal, and then I would get through it. I am very hopeful for our marriage in the future. "

5/14/23

"EMS was an absolute blessing. It allowed me to see a perspective that although my life is forever changed I don't have to grieve it but embrace it and look forward to a new life beyond hurt and betrayal."

"Despite attending remotely and overnight due to the time zone, it was a valuable investment."

2/12/23

- Virtual | EMSW Participant

"EMS Weekend helped both sides - the betrayed and the unfaithful - develop a better understanding of what the other was going through. The curriculum offered great variation in the way the material was presented offering a good balance of lectures, small and large group sessions, private session, breakout betrayed and unfaithful groups, mentor stories and exercises. I would recommend anyone going through any type of infidelity to run to AR and attend EMS."

2/12/23

- Virtual | EMSW Participant

"Loved my experience. I was expecting from the weekend that my husband and I would grow and we did. We have an understanding about many aspects of our marriage that have transformed us. I feel doing it online was better than if I was in person as when a point was made my husband and I could process it together on the spot. "

1/15/23

- Virtual | EMSW Participant

"Prior to this weekend, we had difficulty even looking at each other due to our individual shame, disappointment and sadness in ourselves and each other. This weekend got us talking more openly and authentically with one another. We really appreciated how our faith life was included in the teachings, instructions and talks. I know not all of the participants come from a faith life, and it was obvious that you and your organization respect that but keep them included. Thank you for that. I am EVER hopeful about an improved relationship together since this weekend. "

"Wasn't exactly sure what to expect but had an amazing virtual experience – very inspired and hopeful about the future of our marriage and grateful for this organization. Hands down the best customer service all the way around that I have experienced in years."

- Virtual | EMSW Participant

"I was initially a little resistant to attending. The guidance and compassion I received was invaluable. I was able to trust the process and it served me very well. I am highly optimistic that we will be a success story, thank you so much for this gift."

10/16/22

- Virtual | EMSW Participant

"It was amazing - during the most difficult time in my life and our marriage. I wasn't expecting the connection that would be created with others experiencing the same trauma. My wife and I both felt God's presence in us, our group and the incredible work that you all do. It is a ministry like no other. We are feeling BETTER THAN EVER about our marriage and the future US. I learned more about who I am and my healing and how to accept the things I can control and give to God the things I cannot. In fact, this preacher's kid learned how for the first time in his life, how to give up control and how to heal."

9/18/22

- Virtual | EMSW Participant

"Before EMS weekend, I was at the end of a nearly two year wait for my husband to "get it." I was exhausted, hopeless and expecting to face the end of our marriage. I can't know what all the coming weeks, months or years will be, but I do know that today, I have hope they will be with the man I've called husband for 35 years. The therapists and everyone involved in EMS are the most insightful, authentic and helpful people I've encountered on this two-year journey. They are professionals, but they are people first–and that made all the difference. I didn't expect to be thinking about a hopeful future for my marriage because of one weekend, but here I am doing just that. I'm so glad we gave it a chance. "

"It really was a safe place to express your thoughts and feelings to your hurt spouse. We are looking to a brighter future. Long way to go but this helped jumpstart our healing."

9/18/22

- Virtual | EMSW Participant

"I had no idea what to expect with EMS. I was desperate for anything that would help us. EMS was exactly what my husband and I needed to regain the hope for our marriage to actually survive. I loved that the therapists and mentors that we worked with all had walked this exact same scenario in one way or another. The hope and support made me feel safe and so seen unlike ever before. Infidelity is a very isolating experience, and seeing each of the people who had been in our shoes at one time of their life, made me realize that yes—we can absolutely heal from this, and we will. "

8/21/22

- Virtual | EMSW Participant

"I was expecting to find out more about what is behind being an unfaithful spouse and suggestions on how to work recovery. I experienced more than I could have imagined in learning about infidelity and ways that it can be understood. I feel that we have a lot of work but a better direction on how to do that work. "

7/17/22

- Virtual | EMSW Participant

"For the first time, I felt connected to others in what we were going through. It was so nice to open up and have others understanding all of the feelings and struggles. I have never done on-line counseling, and wasn't sure I would like it, however I LOVED it! Exactly what we were looking for. "

7/17/22

- Virtual | EMSW Participant

"I would never wish this experience or event on anyone, but this program has shown me that we can build something new out of the ashes of our lives, and that new thing can be far better and more beautiful than anything we had before."

"Came away feeling a real bond with our fellow group members and and that feeling of not being alone..."

6/12/22

- Virtual | EMSW Participant

"[Before Virtual EMS], I was a little nervous and apprehensive...I experienced love, compassion, wonderful teachers/counselors, a new perspective on forgiveness and loving others the way the Lord loves them. I am an Unfaithful, and I now realize that even though the world might look at me with disgust, the Lord sees past my faults and sees me as beautiful, precious, and loves me fully...My marriage is going to grow from a new seed to a beautiful flower... I encourage any couple to sign up and complete this program. "

6/12/22

- Virtual | EMSW Participant

"This was a stretching experience for me. A departure from anything I've ever done before. An act of desperation. Without it we likely would have continued on in on our own version of ineffectiveness...EMS helped to validate the reality of Me, You, and Us as three distinct entities, all of whom needed different and unique help...Providing tools and guidance in learning to develop empathy opened up a whole new world...Reaffirming that this is a single step on a long road is empowering. We're ten years from our initial D day."

"Going into the weekend I was anxious about how it was going to be online. If we were truly going to get what we needed from it. I was extremely pleased and surprised with how it all came together!! I would 100000% recommend this for anyone going through this."

4/24/22

- Virtual | EMSW Participant

"I was excited for the EMS weekend because my wife and I were at the end of our own strategies. As the weekend progressed I found concrete ideas, tips, and plans on how to improve my marriage. I learned how to effectively and deeply communicate with my wife. I could also see some relief come to my wife which in turn relieved me. At the end of the weekend I was filled with hope. On Sunday night, my wife and I did our Marriage Affirmation and developed a plan on how we were going to implement the other ideas. I was excited about Monday because I had all of these new tools that I wanted to begin using. I am confident that our marriage will be saved and will actually be stronger than before the affair. My wife and I agreed that the cost of the seminar was the best money we have ever spent on our marriage. Thank you to everyone at AR for making me feel comfortable and not judging me in the least. You truly made the weekend a safe place for me to open up. "

"When we first enrolled in [Virtual EMS], I was not looking forward to spending my weekend in session after session. However, as our own attempts at recovery were becoming more difficult and emotional outbursts became more frequent, I could not wait for the weekend to start.... Almost immediately, we both began to feel more at ease.... The weekend was structured in a way that helped us process the pain and then focus on the recovery. The small groups were extremely encouraging and while initially I was hesitant to share my experience, it quickly faded as we candidly shared our thoughts, experiences and feelings. After having gone through the [Virtual EMS Weekend], both my wife and I are optimistic about our recovery. Already, we can see a change in each other, which gives us so much hope. Thank you to Rick and the entire staff at AR! You have given us more hope and confidence than you can imagine."

- Virtual | EMSW Participant

"I didn't know what to expect but I left the weekend feeling encouraged and optimistic about the future. We also felt empowered as this weekend provided tools and resources to help us through the next couple of weeks. Though we know the road will be long and hard we also know healing and reconciliation are possible."

"I had no idea what to expect with EMS weekend but was desperate for some help. The information provided was phenomenal and it was presented in a classy, informative and educational manner while being sensitive to both [spouses]. I have great hope for our future marriage and look forward to implementing some of the marriage suggestions provided...."

3/20/22

- Virtual | EMSW Participant

"I was very nervous going into the weekend. I expected what had been a very painful journey up to this point to get even more painful. There were, in fact, numerous points of pain that rose to the surface....We had a lot of additional discussion that was not easy but was necessary. Overall, the weekend helped us move forward in our recovery. Hearing from Rick's years of wisdom and from our facilitator's keen insight into our particular situation was extremely helpful. Our journey is not over; we have hope for the future, and [Virtual EMS] reinforced this for us."

2/13/22

- Virtual | EMSW Participant

"I came in without expectations. I came in fully believing I wasn't completely wrong in my actions. I left the weekend fully understanding my problem and the root of the cause, all while finding empathy for my husband and the distress I caused him. I am feeling so hopeful for the future of my marriage. I finally feel like we are on the same page and can continue to grow, stronger than before. "

"Wasn't sure what to expect from this but had fully anticipated it only being another slightly helpful recovery step. I experienced a fully engaged team and a great group of people. It was a life changing experience for both my wife and I..."

"I was not sure what to expect. We had watched and shared different videos and content prior to the weekend. All of that content was useful. However, we weren't sure how that content all really fit together in a larger progressive scheme toward healing. The weekend put the pieces together in a fashion that filled in those gaps and helped us understand the processes behind what likely happened, and what progress toward healing and progress will really look like and mean. I'm not entirely sure how yet, but the weekend was transformative in that I feel different than I did going into it. Overall, I just feel 'better'. I was able to let some things go entirely, move some other things a bit more forward for myself. I am committed to the process of healing and hopeful about my marriage and my future."

"I am hopeful for the future. We have a lot of work to do. My personal experience showed me that there are other issues that I need to deal with to get to the root of the problem and that there are solutions that are available to us. "

"The AR website has been an incredibly helpful resource right from the moment we found it. We were unsure about doing [Virtual EMS Weekend] as it seemed like it would be difficult to connect virtually. This was not the case. Rick's lectures were great and despite some minor technical issues..it was really easy to follow him.....Rick looked straight into the camera and could see the virtual group....I felt that it was easy to connect in this small group setting... I feel very hopeful about having a great and better marriage with my husband..."

"After my wife asked if I would be willing to participate, I was very reluctant about the entire weekend. The unknown is always an issue for me. After the first small group session...I was "all in." I was able, not forced, to fully disclose my infidelity to my wife, this was extremely difficult, although it gave both of us a little bit of closure, and put us on the right path to recovery. All of the sessions, both small and large group sessions filled me with the confidence to do what is right, for my wife, myself, and ultimately our marriage. I thank my wife and the [Virtual EMS] crew for changing me forever. "

"This has been the only counseling we have done that my partner (wayward) was invested in. I was so hopeful but also very nervous. I really didn't think I'd be able to open up as much as I did with people I had never met before, yet 3 days later we are already keeping in touch because we miss everyone so much. This is proof that God is at work! You gain confidence, peace, clarity, hope, and lifelong friends."

"[Virtual EMS] was the oasis in the desert that we have been needing. We experienced an impressive structured program that provided knowledge, guidance and a healthy, compassionate approach that has planted the seed for healing our hearts, correcting our behaviors and hope for our future to be better than ever."

"I was very apprehensive about the [Virtual EMS Weekend] because the discovery was still very new (6 weeks ago). The weekend was extremely hard but also very helpful because we could be open and authentic with those in our group which helped to alleviate loneliness and isolation....Although parts of the weekend are extremely painful, those moments of shared pain brought us closer together because we were both safe to express our feelings in a supportive environment."

"I went into [Virtual EMS] hoping to find a path forward. We've been stuck in my husband's ambivalent state since D-Day 6 months ago. I wanted to know how I can move forward in my own healing...I'm feeling more hopeful moving forward. "

"I was not sure what to expect coming into the weekend especially that we were not able to be there physically and had to attend virtually. I was absolutely blown away by the entire weekend. Rick is amazing and has a way of explaining things to really hit home. I hung onto every word. I feel extremely hopeful for our marriage, and I can honestly say a few of the exercises that my husband did as the unfaithful spouse really helped me heal in a way that we were not capable of doing on our own. We connected on another level that I was praying for but I thought he just didn't "get" my pain. Well, he did, he just needed a way to be able to express it to me that I would be able to receive it. I also felt like I could finally let my guard down and stop pretending normal for once. I felt so safe with our group to be able to do so. I now can say my husband is not the only one with hope for our marriage. Thank you so much Rick and the entire Affair Recovery staff for being present, and most importantly, open and honest with us."

"I was nervous about how helpful this would be. I was hopeful but cautious....I do appreciate the guidance for the betrayed on how we can become the best version of ourselves through our greatest pain. We do not like the ugly side of us through this and you helped guide us in a gentle and compassionate manner with practical advice. [Virtual EMS Weekend] was life changing…"

"I didn't know what to expect. When my wife told me about [Virtual EMS Weekend] I was unsettled...What I didn't expect was this event did more to pull me out of the pit and give me hope...Besides all that, the connection we made with the other couples was probably the biggest bonus I never expected. Keep in mind I'm that guy that thought he could fix everything himself and without God's help. By the end of day 1 it was very clear I couldn't, and by then our new friends were a Godsend and they gave me support I absolutely needed. Long story a little longer...This was the beginning of the rest of our life. "

"[Virtual EMS Weekend] made me feel so hopeful! Even as the online group, I still felt we were getting all of the same valuable information as if we were attending physically in Texas. I also received a road map for recovery and how to prevent relapse. It was also really nice to feel not alone in this very dark journey....I know it's going to be a lot of work, but I feel like I received the necessary tools for success."
