Dr. Stoever has spent the majority of his professional career helping develop marriage intensives and is one of the leading experts in the field. Listening to this interview will provide additional avenues for your recovery process. Shawn not only explains the benefits of an intensive and a marriage retreat, but he makes some recommendations on finding a specific program that could be helpful for you and your spouse.

I can't thank you enough for the EMS weekend. It was positive and life-changing for everyone who attended. My wife and I have an excellent chance of surviving as a couple. Please continue to do whatever you can possibly do to encourage people to attend. We had no idea whatsoever how helpful it would be.

Belong to a Small Group That
Gets What You're Going Through

Taking this journey with a small group provides the most powerful way to heal after infidelity. After the weekend, many people say they've developed friends who know them better than anyone else, the "real them". Small groups help us:

Build empathy
Break out of isolation
Validate our (seemingly crazy) emotions
Receive encouragement

EMS Weekend Theres no such beauty as where you belong

What Else Is Included?

Complimentary 18 Month Recovery Library Membership

You'll receive 18 months of free access to the Recovery Library, a $540 value. You'll be able to submit questions to the Expert Q&A and we'll film Rick or other infidelity experts answering the questions each week. Also, you'll have access to over 1,800 Expert Answered Q&A's, articles, and mentor 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.

Aftercare

After the weekend, you will continue to meet with your small group weekly by phone to work at implementing new behaviors and assure that you and your spouse continue in your healing journey. The first six weeks of the aftercare program is called Beyond EMS these are facilitated by an Affair Recovery Group Leader. After you've completed the first six weeks, we provide you with an optional 52 weeks of online curriculum, called Married for Life, to help you continue meeting with your small group if you wish. Married for Life is self-led by either you or one of your fellow group members. By that point, you'll be very familiar with the group process and conference calls.

"Thank you for giving us the chance to have continued group calls after the weekend, I think it really helps us stay on track and keep our healing fore front in our minds. I think without followup we'd fall back into old patterns too easily."

Testimonials

"Before I came to EMS I was nervous that I would be shamed or condemned by others throughout the weekend, but I was only met with love and acceptance. This weekend has jump-started our marriage and I feel true hope for the first time in a LONG time. I’m very grateful."

"I was expecting an embarrassing, crying, shame-filled event that would be hard to get through. I expected hard, tough work. What it turned out to be was a well-organized event run by compassionate folks interested in helping everybody, betrayed and betrayer, understand where they are and what’s possible. It’s strange to say, but the work was hard, but it had heart and didn’t feel hard to do. I would emphatically recommend EMS for anybody going through this. I’m leaving optimistic and excited about what our marriage can be."

"I was very hesitant about coming here. I was convinced it would turn into a shame-fest for me, as the wayward spouse. I was especially anxious about the small group sessions where I was sure I would be forced to cry and be awkward in front of strangers. Well, I was wrong about it all. I felt loved and accepted immediately. Small group quickly became my favorite part, and our most effective work was done together in that wonderful safe space with our new friends. We are headed home feeling so much lighter and hopeful."

"If you want or need genuine support in your healing and transformation from anguish/despair to hope/forgiveness, EMS Weekend can be the gift and blessing you seek. I came here nervous, scared, skeptical, numb, depressed, and empty. I left on Sunday a different person, a better person. This was not easy; nothing meaningful is. There were low times for each person here. My tears covered my face daily. I had to be crushed even more, in ways I didn’t expect, before I could then rise to levels of hope, anticipation, gratitude, and joy - all before I left. Our love and redemption story is far from over, we have more work to do, but EMS Weekend is filled with skilled and heart-filled professionals who lead us well on a pathway that works. Find hope and new life and a new relationship/marriage roadmap at EMS Weekend. It can be a spiritual or personal transformation."

"This weekend was exactly what I needed. I had so many periods where I didn’t want to come and I thought I would just be angry at and hate every other wayward spouse, but somewhere along the way I found myself rooting for them and their spouse’s reconnection because I could see their pain, their effort, and the love they truly have for the person they betrayed, and it challenged me to figure out if that genuinely didn’t exist in my spouse or if my pain made me unwilling to see it. By the end of the weekend, I was able to see my husband from a totally different perspective. I can’t guarantee my husband and I will make it but EMS Weekend gave us a fighting chance and it gave me the ability to stand on my own two feet again, and know I’ll be okay either way."

"I was expecting to be triggered or not make it through. I’m glad I came. I was triggered many times, but I felt safe to let it out. I made connections with others on similar journeys. It was a great event and I feel very hopeful. I plan on forgiving my husband and working on me and our marriage. Finally, the event gave my thoughts and feelings a voice and title. This made me feel normal and not crazy. I feel healing has already started to begin. I have more resources to continue the healing process."

"I thrust us into our journey with AR in February 2024 with a very complex (somehow) one night stand. I was the unfaithful that jumped in with full transparency, stopping acting out, and submitted to God. EMSO and H4H got me through last year and put us on a better path. After feeling off, the otherside of betrayal began shockingly. I was extremely traumatized for weeks. I came here expecting helpful info, but not to feel better. I experienced so much more than EMSO. I developed amazing friendships and overcame so much, so rapidly with our astounding and invested therapist. I am insanely happy that I found AR. You all have given me hope again after a shattered reality of my own doing and then my husband. I am now in HH and excited to have the experience of ALL of this. You guys have truly saved me - not even just the marriage. Thank you."

"We were experiencing incredible tension. There was so much bitterness, rage, and verbal abuse resulting from the affair. We both contacted divorce attorneys and were sleeping in separate rooms. I experienced a lot of grace and understanding this weekend. I am looking forward to creating my new self. I am still unsure of what this means for my marriage. There are many major issues beyond the affair, but I will be moving forward knowing that I still deserve love and I get to create my own boundaries and I get to choose what is important to me and who I want to be."

"We took the 13 week (EMSO) program before. We were excited but stressed for the EMSW because we didn't fully know what to expect, especially being in person. We experienced healing, new tools for our tool box when we run into tough times, a new chapter in our relationship, and a community of friends that can relate and that we can continue our journey with. We are feeling positive on what lies ahead, but not only for our marriage but for our personal health and growth as people."

"I was experiencing extreme PTSD with uncontrollable triggers. I had a panic attack just hours before our flight. I had a panic attack during the first breakout and Peter, our clinical professional, stepped out during the break and met with me and my husband privately. The breakouts were extremely emotional, raw and painful, and they were also the most healing parts of the seminar. I don't think I could have even started the healing journey if not for EMSW. I am eternally grateful that my husband brought me here."

"I was super anxious coming into this weekend but I was also hopeful. I didn't know what to expect. I wasn't sure my spouse would be willing to be vulnerable and open up, especially in a group setting. I also didn't know how vulnerable I would allow myself to be in front of others. I quickly realized that because the other people in the group were going through similar situations (while also vastly different), we were safe and now had a community in which we were able to share in a judgement-free zone. It was incredibly freeing to be able to share with no judgement. We got incredible tools to rebuild, repair, and grow our marriage into something more incredible than we could imagine. This weekend was life-changing for us and we are beyond grateful for EMSW and the incredible staff."

"I was hesitant to attend and hesitant about group sharing because of the stigma television and movies portrayed. Ultimately I am grateful for group sharing and one of the most powerful parts of EMS Weekend is group sharing. These wonderful people not only helped us begin the process of healing our marriage, they come from a position of also going through the same thing at some point in time in their life as we have. They teach from a place of personal experience and knowledge no matter if you are the betrayed or the betrayer."

"My biggest experience is the openness from EMSW leaders. The wisdom was tangible and actionable. I came to EMSW with no expectations, but left with hope. My relationship is very damaged, but I feel like EMSW equipped my to repair myself and my partner with her issues. With those tools we can, hopefully, repair / rebuild us together. Regardless of my personal outcome, I am grateful for the EMSW experience and the leaders that taught and helped me."

"Beyond EMS Aftercare: I realized I have gained more than I lost through this last affair. I gained a husband who know understands his “why.” So I lost a cheating husband, a lying husband, a manipulative husband, a mental abusive husband, etc. I gained a complete Godly man that has finally rid himself of his oppressive demons.
Now we can start on a firm foundation after 42 1/2 years of marriage. Crazy I know. But I'm thanking God I can see my husband (and me) healed on this side of glory!!!"

While I've been in severe pain and PTSD, this weekend was the first time since D-Day I've felt real joy. This helped me to feel seen and heard in a way I don't think I've ever felt before. I move forward toward my healing with confidence."

"I have hope after this weekend that my wife will be able to hopefully find some peace. This weekend was something that was essential to our survival. Without it, no doubt, we would have gotten a divorce and she would be nowhere close to a road of recovery. It was a very eye-opening experience doing the 40 Costs and the High/Low letter. It was filled with so much emotion. This weekend really opened my eyes and heart to making this about my wife, not me. I would recommend this to anyone going through this."

"Beyond EMS Aftercare: I am so grateful to JESUS for the Beyond EMS course and the encouragement that it provided me. I am also thankful to our leader, for all that she did in leading and supporting us with such compassion and prayerfully. I really appreciate the continuity of her leading the group as she was our Group ‘helper’ during the EMS Weekend. With me being self - isolated for years, this helped provide a safe place for me to open up, share, and grow. I felt okay not being ‘okay,’ acknowledging this and open enough to receive hope and a new way of thinking. This entire process has been more than just another class, meeting, or completing curriculum, it has been a life changer for me. At times, I did not get the week’s assignment completed, but I always left our weekly meetings feeling refreshed and renewed for yet another day and week. When I did the assignments, each lesson was full of wisdom and lessons to help me grow individually, and together in our marriage. I pray that JESUS continues to BLESS this ministry to help other people, marriages, and families. BLESSINGS."

"I am so grateful for AR and EMS. I am also a Harboring Hope participant and found their coursework, videos, and group work changed my life. Prior to finding AR I didn’t hold out much hope for my marriage. I began Harboring Hope to heal myself, not knowing where “we” were headed as a couple. Two weeks into HH I asked my husband to attend EMS. ~4 weeks after that we were there! EMS has opened doors for us that had never been opened or had been closed for a long time. I experienced a side of my husband I’ve never seen. The connection we made this weekend has opened my eyes and heart to the new relationship we want and know we can have."

I was desperate and knew we needed to do the weekend intensive. We experienced such compassion when we got here. We were so apprehensive but quickly saw that everyone here had experienced infidelity in their lives and created life-changing materials.

"We had an amazing experience at EMS. It was very challenging and full of tears, but the quality of the materials, instructors, facilities and other participants was world-class. I thought this course would be very infidelity-focused. What I found is that infidelity was the catalyst to examine so much; my childhood, my core wounds, my attachment styles, my brain function and how all of these factors brought me to where I am today. I felt broken, worthless, and incapable of change. I now feel there is a path to a better life with hope and a commitment to change paving the way. It’s all I needed, at a time in my life where I was open to it all."

I experienced a sense of community that I knew I needed, but didn’t think I would ever find. While very powerful, deep, and frightening, I also found the days, programs, and discussions to be immensely useful and cathartic.

"Beyond EMS Aftercare: Incredibly grateful for our group leader continuing to foster safety and trust in our circle. We continue to build within our own relationships but having this small community is such a blessing to be able to walk on our path with other amazing people. I also appreciate that she doesn't just listen and validate us in group, she also provides insights into couples dynamics. She brings her own truth and this adds another layer of value, normalizing the ups and downs of relationships while also providing hope that recovery is possible. This week's curriculum was difficult but a much needed exercise that has shown me how much progress my partner has made with the help of EMS. We will both revisit this lesson again in the future."

Such a wonderful community and experience. Thank you!!"

"We had already managed getting on a pretty good path prior to EMS Weekend. I think we were a bit concerned that this weekend may in some way derail the progress we had made. We experienced a lot of love and understanding over EMS Weekend. I could see that the staff took care to approach each couple on a case by case basis. This individual care helped to address our specific issues and led to a very productive weekend for us. I feel like we are leaving this weekend with tools to continue our progress towards a better marriage and a community to help us continue this into the future."

"I was very reluctant to come as the shame and “newness” of the infidelity felt like too much to share with strangers. I almost walked out of the first small group as saying what happened out loud made me feel physically ill. However, I am so glad I stayed. This was the most transformative weekend. There was no awkwardness or shame or judgment, only love and care and compassion. While I still don’t know what the future holds, I am hopeful for our marriage and what both of us need individually to heal."

This retreat is about individual healing rather than couple healing."

"I was at a point of complete devastation, loss, brokenness. My world had been shattered, my foundation in a pile of rubble, when I found out my husband had had a 3rd affair with my best friend. I searched and searched for anywhere that may give us help as I hold onto the last thread of hope for our marriage. I was on a daily battlefield in my mind: walk away after 30 years, or try & find help for us, help that actually focused on this kind of betrayal & brokenness. I found Hope-Now online. He half-heartedly agreed to come; he would have rather this just faded away like before and we go back to pretending we are OK everyday. After all, we’d been to marriage counseling 3 times before & they blamed the marriage for his actions so why not just do that again and then go back to the emotionless day to day charade we had learned to live. We are leaving here with the promise of a new story. Remorse and grief are OK to talk about now. A new understanding to begin our journey to healing and a new marriage."

I'm also looking forward to the future as we continue developing and growing, trusting and loving each day. I'm not a fan of the journey we are on at this time, but I took a wrong turn. No, I got lost. So I'm now looking at EMS as a road map/compass. I know that there will be hazards and even road blocks along the way, but I feel as though I can reach out to them for help.

It helped open my eyes to so many aspects of myself and marriage in such a good way. I loved how both the unfaithful and betrayed could use almost every bit of information.

"When we were driving here, we almost talked ourselves out of coming. We didn’t know what to expect. But I’m so glad we came. We were not sure exactly where we were headed in our marriage. After day one, I felt hope. It got deep in our small groups and I realized that we were not the only couple that had marriage problems. We were not alone in what we were facing and it is possible to get past with two willing people."

"Before coming to EMS, I was struggling with PTSD symptoms, feeling very stuck with very little hope for things to improve. EMS gave me tools and resources to better cope with my anxiety, intrusive thoughts, and anger. I left feeling as if I had experienced a miracle and empowered to do the hard work of healing my marriage with renewed faith."

"My husband and I came to EMS searching for a miracle. We fought all the way here, from the moment we left the house to the 4 hour plane ride right up until check in. We were looking for a change. My husband, I discovered, was living a double life and having a 2 year affair with a woman who had no idea I existed. Needless to say, I was scared to be here. This weekend could break it or make it, and boy did we make it! We committed to the experience and are going home with a new perspective and an absolute for our future. I highly recommend EMS to any couple."

"I walked into EMS nervous, anxious, and unsure. My thought was that it would be a weekend full of shame. I scoffed at the idea that we could make real strides in our marriage after my infidelity nearly destroyed us. I’m walking away with a new set of friends that understand exactly where I am in my journey because they are walking it too. I’m walking away with hope that we can make it out together and I believe we can be better. This is only one step in our journey but EMS was a necessary step and foundation for our healing."

"I was hoping EMS Weekend would provide my husband and I with tools to figure out if we could save our marriage. I never thought we would implement the tools while we were here. The counselors, materials, and videos helped us understand a little more of what we are going through. The biggest shock in terms of a benefit was also our biggest fear in coming: experiencing our brokenness in front of others was intimidating but this amazing gift of community couldn’t have been a bigger blessing. Thank you for changing our lives forever."

Content has been super helpful and was presented in a manner that was easy to understand and apply. I am leaving EMS hopeful for my marriage where there was not much hope but more importantly I personally feel stronger and am able to recognize and accept that life will be OK whether my marriage works out or not. That is a relief."

"We had found the material on the AR site to be tremendously helpful but I was fearful that the weekend would either be too repetitive or would send us backwards by stirring up old things we had already worked through. Thankfully this was not at all the case and we learned so many new things and had some amazing opportunities to meet couples sharing in a similar journey and to practice tools that will likely be instrumental in this continuing journey we are on. I’m so happy we found Affair Recovery."

Regardless of the situation or stage of recovery, this program was tremendously helpful and any couple could benefit from tools and knowledge that can be applied the rest of our lives. This program has just validated our chance of staying together, working through it and coming out on the other side stronger, wiser, and in the best marriage I never thought possible. So much hope for us! Sign up if you are even considering this EMS Weekend."

"AR has been a lifesaver over the past 1.5 years. We found AR soon after d-day and went through the bootcamp, then took HFH and HH at the same time. I was nervous that we were “too far” for EMS but trusting because I’d had such good experiences with AR. The overall environment, the small group/community, the mentor couple, and several of the sections spoke strongly to me – particularly on forgiveness and preventing relapse. I think this “unstuck” the forgiveness that was lodged and helped me realize how many things I’ve already accepted without realizing it. It was the right next step in my and our healing journeys."

I feel hope for my marriage that I thought may be gone forever."

I actually felt I was witnessing a miracle.

"I wanted to sleep on it to make sure I wasn’t writing this testimonial from a place of euphoria. While I’m certainly still under some sense of riding the high of a breakthrough, the emotion I feel most is relief. I realized during EMS Weekend that I have been feeling such solitude, even though my wife was constantly listening and reminding me that she’s next to me and with me. In an effort to show her how deeply she had hurt me, I kept reliving pain and trying to share that with her. All I was doing was making myself sad and more lonely.

Seeing the faces of others that had been through this fire, both participants and staff, started to make me feel human connection again. Meeting other men that had been betrayed made me feel manly again. And staring into my wife’s eyes as she detailed to me what infidelity cost us and how sorrowful she was, it lifted what seemed like an immovable weight off of me. I understood I no longer had to prove my pain to her. I slept through the night for the first time in six weeks. The entire program was a launchpad for me, for us. It freed a crushing weight from me and showed us a path forward that didn’t assume a predestined destination but, rather, a goal. I know we are at the beginning, but there is hope and relief and connection where there wasn’t just days ago. We can’t thank you enough, Affair Recovery. "
