My husband has agreed to potentially try the online course pending on how his classes go next month. He is a bit reluctant as at the moment we have different martial goals and he is just indifferent.
I was wondering if you guys can answer my questions for those who have taken it or if you know anything about it. 1. What did you think of the course? 2. Does it require a lot of paperwork? 3. How much time do you devote to the assignments per week? 4. Are the audio CD's just audiobooks of the paperbacks? 5. What happens if you get stuck on an assignment for a while?
Thanks!

We went on the MBWeekend so I am not totally familiar with the online program, but I do believe that it's really on your time schedule ~ you can do one assignment/week or three. I'm guesstimating that one assignment takes about an hour.
We thought the MBW was fantastic. I believe that what we saw and heard at the seminar, you will watch on DVD.
You will also be assigned a coach ~ someone who will encourage you along and answer any questions you have/help sort out disagreements. You will also have access to Dr. Harley's private message board.

My husband has agreed to potentially try the online course pending on how his classes go next month. He is a bit reluctant as at the moment we have different martial goals and he is just indifferent. I would try something else first, if I were you. I would try phone coaching with Steve Harley to get your husband movtivated. He is very withdrawn and indifferent and until you overcome that, you are going to have problems. You will get alot more mileage, IMO, out of a few sessions with Steve Harley to motivate him. Overcome that, and you will have much greater success, IMO.

Hi MelodyLane,
I will see how receptive he is to speaking to Steve Harley. I think that would be the better option as I have spoken to him once and he is worth every dollar. I know BH is really not into the idea of talking to anyone about this beyond the facts of what happened and our current situation. But it would be great if he would talk to Harley even on his own.
However, I would still like to try the online course combined with Harley if he is willing to. I think I could learn a lot from the course.
And BH has recently opened up a little more (and I mean little) about how he feels. He still cares about what I do, if I going to repeat the same mistakes in the next year and about me. He just does not care enough to feel motivated about any sort of help in restoring our marriage and he feels that is not fair to me which is why he believes divorce is best.
