Does anyone know if there is a form I can print out. Our counselor has asked us to sign one and I was pretty sure I saw a form at one time. Thanks. Yes, the counselor is helping though there is lots of work to be done. L<BR>

There's no form, per se. This "policy" is described <A HREF="http://www.marriagebuilders.com/graphic/mbi3500_policy.html" TARGET=_blank>here</A>, under the <A HREF="http://www.marriagebuilders.com/graphic/mbi3000_intro.html" TARGET=_blank>Concepts</A> section.
