<p>I’m Kerri Morrison and this is my tale. My husband Craig and I have been married for almost nine years. Beginning two years ago, I was feeling like I was in a relationship by myself. I was becoming another one of those housewives in a <a title="Click here to learn about how to prevent growing apart in marriage" href="http://www.marriagemax.com/blog/growing-apart-marriage/">lonely marriage</a>.</p>
<p>I hated the feeling!</p>
<p>I’m an assertive person so I was shocked at how long it took me to discuss my feelings with my husband. I was surprised and sad to hear that he felt lonely too. We couldn’t understand how two people could feel so lonely in a marriage that had started out so well.</p>
<p>We knew we had to fix this.</p>
<h2>We Needed A Different Kind of Help for Our Lonely Marriage</h2>
<p>We agreed that traditional marriage counseling would never work for us. We had busy schedules, made busier by three kids, and I&#8217;ll admit it… we also felt embarrassed. Were we really one of <em>those</em> couples who needed counseling?</p>
<p>We thought, <em>we’ll handle this ourselves</em>.</p>
<p>We went to the bookstore and searched for books to find <a title="Click here to learn how to avoid common marriage mistakes" href="http://www.marriagemax.com/blog/common-mistakes-marriage/">solutions for loneliness in marriage</a>. We didn&#8217;t have much success. Fortunately, we found our answer while doing research on the Internet.</p>
<h2>We Got Help for Our Lonely Marriage through Online Counseling</h2>
<p>This may sound strange to you, it was to us at first, but we considered an alternative solution—web-based marriage counseling. We started with very open minds. If it could help us, we were willing to try it. We needed solutions for the loneliness we felt in our marriage.</p>
<p>We needed a way to find answers. Answers that could be applied in real life.</p>
<h2>Being Lonely in a Relationship Is Common</h2>
<p>One of the first things we learned was that being lonely in a relationship is more common than we thought. We were happy to know there were other couples in our same shoes. We learned so much, but the most relevant lessons were:</p>
<ol>
<li>Loneliness in marriage is often due to lack of communication.</li>
<li>Many couples feel like they’re drifting apart after 7 to 10 years of marriage.</li>
<li>Feeling lonely in a relationship doesn’t mean the relationship is over or the love is gone. Don&#8217;t turn your back on it—fix it!</li>
</ol>
<h2>Our Loneliness in Marriage Was Partly Due to Neglect</h2>
<p>We never intended to hurt each other or take each other for granted, but that&#8217;s exactly what we did for the past two years.</p>
<p>Through our <a title="Click here to learn how to have a healthy marriage" href="http://www.marriagemax.com/blog/how-to-have-healthy-marriage/">online counseling program</a> we realized that the loneliness in our relationship was mostly due to neglect. Instead of nurturing our marriage, we just let it be as a given part of life. We took each other for granted.</p>
<p>We failed to complement each other, praise each other, or notice if the other had had a bad day. Our loneliness spurred from the fact that our marriage was stuck on autopilot.</p>
<p>There was work to be done, and we were both excited to begin it.</p>
<h2>Our Lonely Marriage is Long Gone</h2>
<p>The online marriage counseling alternative brought us closer together. Right away we made it a point to start doing more things together, which led to us noticing each other again. We became more attuned to each other&#8217;s emotions and feelings.</p>
<p>Now neither one of us feels neglected, lonely or taken for granted anymore. I am not saying <a title="Click here to learn the signs of trouble in a marriage" href="http://www.marriagemax.com/blog/signs-trouble-marriage/">our marriage is perfect</a> by any means (we learned that there are always improvements to be made), but our lonely marriage is a thing of the past.</p>

<p>It’s exactly what my marriage needed.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="size-full wp-image-1203 alignnone" src="http://www.marriagemax.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/marriage-exercises-that-work.jpg" alt="Marriage Exercises That Work" width="443" height="251" /></p>
<p>My name is Lisa and my husband, Peter, and I are the world’s biggest proponent of marriage exercises. Six years ago I married the man of my dreams. Six years later we realized that we just didn’t know how to talk to each other anymore.</p>
<p>Somehow we forgot!</p>
<p>It had been so easy when we were dating and even when we were newly married. In fact, my husband was my favorite person to talk to and the first one I ran to with news—good or bad.</p>
<p>However, somehow we lost that great <a title="Click here to learn how to evaluate your marriage" href="http://www.marriagemax.com/blog/evaluate-your-marriage/">communication in our marriage</a>. What helped us get it back was a series of marriage exercises that was simple, effective and even fun.</p>
<h2>Communication in Marriage Takes Work</h2>
<p>It took us a long time to realize that we really weren’t enjoying talking to each other (or even talking to each other at all) the way that we used to. It wasn’t a sudden thing and we didn’t go through any particular crisis or trial.</p>
<p>The problem, we now realize, is that we didn’t take the care necessary to foster our communication in marriage.</p>
<p>We obsessed over advancing at our jobs, paying the bills, having and raising our kids and all of those other things that take the time and energy of adults. We should’ve also obsessed over each other.</p>
<p>Communication in marriage is essential to a strong, healthy and happy marriage, but we weren’t doing anything to nurture it. We talked about what needed to be done, who needed to be where and what bill needed to be paid.</p>
<p>We almost never just talked about what each of us was going through, what we were thinking about or what we were dreaming about. You know, all of those things you discuss naturally as a young couple.</p>
<h2>How to Save Your Marriage and Have Fun, Too</h2>
<p>Fortunately, someone suggested an alternative online marriage counseling program before things became even worse. Yes we were feeling unhappy and unsatisfied, but neither of us was looking elsewhere or thinking of divorce.</p>
<p>The online marriage program was a great solution for us. We didn’t think things were bad enough to see a counselor and we wouldn’t have had the time or money to see one, anyway.</p>
<p>Through the online therapy, we learned lots of ways to <a title="Click here to learn how to spot signs of trouble in a marriage" href="http://www.marriagemax.com/blog/signs-trouble-marriage/">spot signs of trouble with communication in marriage</a>. We also learned ways to get that natural communication going again. The counselor gave us a whole series of marriage exercises that got us talking and thinking together in a way we hadn’t done for a long time.</p>
<p>Some of the marriage exercises were tough to do. They forced us to really look at the way we were handling our relationship and that was hard. However, if you want to know how to save your marriage, you have to look at some hard realities.</p>
<p>Fortunately, a lot of the <a title="Click here to learn about marriage accountability" href="http://www.marriagemax.com/blog/learn-about-marriage-accountability/">marriage exercises</a> we did were fun, like role-playing (we reversed roles) and games. We did one that was similar to The Newlywed Game, which was a nonstop laugh, but reminded us that we still had a lot to discover about each other.</p>
<p>That alone was worth doing all the marriage exercises in the world.</p>
<h2>Find the Marriage Exercises That are Best For You</h2>
<p>Not all marriage exercises are about communication in marriage. We found a lot of relationship building activities that were geared toward rekindling romance, setting goals and almost any other situation you can think of.</p>
<p>One thing we learned: whatever your situation, there’s someone else out there in the same place.</p>
<p>There are a lot of resources available; you just need to find the ones that apply to your particular situation and needs. You can learn how to <a title="Click here to learn how hard times taught one couple how to strengthen their marriage" href="http://www.marriagemax.com/blog/hard-times-taught-strong-marriage/">save your marriage</a> or just strengthen an already great relationship.</p>
<p>Fill out the form at the bottom of this page and Mort will email you an essential list of marriage tips for free!</p>
<p>We’re so grateful for the help we’ve gotten and we feel stronger than ever. Now it’s your turn to make the most of your marriage.</p>

<p>My name is Meg Saroyan. Two years ago, my husband packed his things and walked out the door. I was devastated!</p>
<p>I didn’t want to believe him when he said our marriage was over, and I was determined to win him back. I knew if I wanted to know <a title="Click here to learn how to prevent your and your husband from growing apart" href="http://www.marriagemax.com/blog/husband-and-i-growing-apart/">how to get my husband back home</a>, I needed to help. I asked friends for advice on how to win him back, but they were caught just as off guard as I was.</p>
<h2>No One Could Advise Me On How to Get My Husband Back Home</h2>
<p>Everyone told me to stay strong and be patient. I tried staying strong for our children’s sake, but deep inside I was a mess. I constantly obsessed over how to get my husband back home.</p>
<p>When he would come to visit the kids, I’d beg and plead him to come back. It didn’t work. I researched blogs and read books. They also didn’t work. I even tried going to a women&#8217;s support group, but I wasn’t comfortable sharing my personal feelings with strangers. Another letdown.</p>
<p><a title="Click here to learn if marriage counseling really works" href="http://www.marriagemax.com/blog/did-marriage-counseling-work-for-you/">I needed to find another solution</a>.</p>
<h2>You Can’t Win Back Your Husband Until You Understand Why He Left</h2>
<p>What finally worked for me was a marriage course I found online. There was a section in one of the sessions that personally resonated with me and made me open my eyes and see clearly. It read: &#8220;You can’t win back your husband (or your wife) until you understand why he (or she) left.&#8221;</p>
<p>I realized that I had been going about winning him back in the wrong way.</p>
<p>I was looking for surefire strategies to bring him back and things to change about myself to make him like me more. Never once did I actually consider his reasons for leaving. <a title="Click here to learn how to conquer insecurity in marriage" href="http://www.marriagemax.com/blog/insecurity-marriage/">Maybe it wasn’t me</a>!</p>
<h2>How to Get My Husband Back Home—The Solution</h2>
<p>Suddenly I had a new approach for how to get my husband back home.</p>
<p>I invited my husband to meet with me to <a title="Click here to learn how to end a marital conflict" href="http://www.marriagemax.com/blog/how-to-end-a-marital-conflict/">talk about our separation</a>. He knew that we had to address the situation eventually. He talked about his reasons for leaving, and I couldn&#8217;t have been more off with my assumptions.</p>
<p>I was ready to change things about myself to show him that I was serious about giving us another shot, but that wasn’t the issue at all. Sitting in front of one another and sharing our feelings and thoughts we came to a realization together. It was a new beginning.</p>
<p>It took us three months to go on a &#8220;date&#8221; and another month for him to move back home. Working things out didn’t happen overnight. It took open communication of ideas, dreams and philosophies.</p>
<p>The important thing, though, is that I got my husband back. I never gave up on love, and he really appreciated that.</p>
<p>If you’re going through a similar situation, don’t lose hope. Don’t turn your back on the person you&#8217;ve promised your life to until you’ve given it everything that you can. And then give it more.</p>
<p>If you want to start repairing your marriage like I did, then just fill out the form below. Mort will email you a list of free secrets to fix your marriage and get you headed on the right track.</p>
<p>I owe my marriage to his program.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1>My Husband is Passive Aggressive</h1>
<p><a href="http://www.marriagemax.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/gold_ring_marriage_262929_l1.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1182" title="my-husband-is-passive-aggressive" src="http://www.marriagemax.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/gold_ring_marriage_262929_l1.jpg" alt="My Husband is Passive Aggressive" width="310" height="219" /></a></p>
<p>The phrase <em>passive aggressive</em> is used to define a type of behavior where a person refuses to interact or avoids following through with expectations in interpersonal relationships.  Can you relate?  Can you say that “my husband is passive aggressive”? If yes, keep reading what happened with one of our clients.</p>
<h2>The Passive Aggressive Behavior</h2>
<p>My husband and I separated at the end of October 2010. There wasn&#8217;t any drugs, alcohol or infidelity in our marriage. We just became like roommates. We had felt distant from each other for quite some time. He became extremely shut down in June of last year. I got scared and the more we talked and I pushed for counseling the more he shut down and pushed away. I was scared that this was the end. He just didn&#8217;t even seem to care. So I made my mind up to try everything possible to &#8220;get him back&#8221; so to speak and nothing seemed to work. I reached out and got nothing back from him. He said he knew I was trying but he wasn&#8217;t and he didn&#8217;t know why. He said he didn&#8217;t think he loved me the way he should. Finally in October, I just didn&#8217;t know what else to do. Felt as though I had done all I could do without him wanting to go to counseling. So after one of our many uncomfortable talks, I asked him if he wanted to leave. He didn&#8217;t say no and he didn&#8217;t say yes. But I could tell he wanted out. So I asked him to leave. He came home that night from work, we told the kids, and he left and said he was done.</p>
<h2>Try and Try Again</h2>
<p>I assumed we would try to work things out after he left and he repeatedly said he was done. It wasn&#8217;t until about a month later that I was online looking up info on separation, divorce etc. as I had done many times but this time came across Mort Fertel. At first I was hesitant to order the Cd&#8217;s. Money has been extremely tight and we were going into Christmas and just didn&#8217;t think I should spend the money. I thought about it for a day or two and decided my marriage was worth ordering the CD&#8217;s and they could be returned if I didn&#8217;t feel they fit our situation. Well, I couldn&#8217;t wait to get the CD&#8217;s. When I received the materials and cd&#8217;s through email, I literally sat and read/listened the whole thing. I knew that this was great info and it all made sense. I just didn&#8217;t know how to get my husband to listen to them. He was still very shut down and distant. We did things together because of the kids and we were always respectable to each other. I listened to these CD&#8217;s as well as went to counseling for myself. I believe the combination of both helped me become stronger and work on myself. I ordered the lone ranger package and worked through it on my own. I still wasn&#8217;t seeing hope from my husband but felt as though I needed to everything possible for my marriage and if it was truly over, I could say I did everything I could to work things out. I had to be able to walk away from my marriage if it came to that with a sense that I tried. After going through the holidays my husband seemed to have a hard time with the holidays. He was breaking down a lot which is extremely rare. It wasn&#8217;t until my daughter and him talked and he broke down. She asked him if he would go to the counselor that I have been seeing and he said he would, he promised. He made the appt. and went. He still didn&#8217;t open up to me about the appt. except to say the counselor was a nice guy, easy to talk to, and that it wasn&#8217;t so bad. I also at this point talked to him about these CD&#8217;s and asked him if he would at least listen to the first one. I knew if he listened to the first one he would listen to them all. When he came to the house after his appt. with the counselor he took the CD&#8217;s with him when he left. I still felt like I didn&#8217;t have anything left to do at this point.</p>
<h2>The Long, Painful Road</h2>
<p>My hope was gone. I made the decision to make an appt. with an attorney to see what my options were. It was very upsetting because I didn&#8217;t want the marriage to get to this point but didn&#8217;t know what else to do. I called on Monday and had an appt for Thursday of that week. I was crying when I got off the phone and then my counselor called me to tell me about the appt. with my husband. He said he was sorry that he didn&#8217;t have good news. He said my husband wanted the marriage over. I was a mess. But I felt as though I saw it coming and was glad at that point that I had made the appt. with the attorney. I text my husband and told him I had talked to the counselor and he basically said he was done and that I needed to move on. I asked him to not come by the house that night to see the kids because I emotionally couldn&#8217;t handle it at that point. I told him I could see he was done and it was time for me to move on and take the next step. He text back and said he dumped his anger and resentments at the counselors office. Then he said he had listened to the first CD. I was furious. I thought why are you even bothering to listen to the CD&#8217;s if he was done. I text back and said let me clarify what the counselor said. I listed everything he said&#8230;.my husband didn&#8217;t want marriage counseling. He didn&#8217;t want to work things out. etc. After I listed everything the doctor said, I said, I have reached out to you and have gotten nothing in return. I said I can see you are done. I will let you go. He never responded. I took it as I was right. He was done.</p>
<h2>A Light at the End of the Tunnel</h2>
<p>It was until the next day around noon, he text me and asked if we could talk. I text back very bitter and said there isn&#8217;t anything to talk about. He is done. He text back and said he really wanted to sit down and talk to me. He also said he had been listening to these CD&#8217;s and they made sense. He said we were only doing, maybe, 15% of what Mort was saying to do. He said it was all doable things. He said it was worth giving it a try to work on our marriage. That was last week. I canceled my appt. with the attorney and my husband and I sat down and talked on Saturday. We are going to work through this program and seek counseling one on one and together. I am further along in the healing process then he is because I have been doing this program and seeking counseling but he has seen the changes in me and says he likes what he sees. He is still very guarded and has walls up so to speak but I think we will be able to work through our differences. Thank you Mort for making this program. Every person entering marriage should be given this CD&#8217;s. I think we all go into marriage thinking our marriage is different and we will never get to &#8220;this&#8221; point. We were on cruise control in our marriage. His biggest complaint was I didn&#8217;t put him first. The kids, house, family friends, house all came before him. I see now that you have to work at your marriage and nurture you marriage and spouse regardless of your kids. I see that without our relationship we wouldn&#8217;t have kids or be where we are with our house, jobs, life in general. You have to put your spouse first and &#8220;work&#8221; on your marriage. I have told all of my married friends about this program and I will encourage anyone I know who is getting married to seek this program so they have the tools and maybe won&#8217;t get to this point in their marriage. Thank you Mort Fertel for a wonderful program!!!</p>

<p><a href="http://www.marriagemax.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/file38125501972011.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1177" title="my-husband-ignores-me" src="http://www.marriagemax.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/file38125501972011.jpg" alt="My Husband Ignores Me" width="336" height="620" /></a></p>
<p>Very often we hear from women that “my husband ignores me”; if you are in this situation, you are not alone.  Susan D. was in this very position and shared her story with us.</p>
<p>Mr. Fertel ,</p>
<p>I have thought long and hard about writing a testimonial for the Marriage Fitness Program. The problem was where to begin and when to stop writing about the success I have achieved (with Mr. Fertel&#8217;s help) but here goes:</p>
<h2>&#8220;If the term obstinate spouse were in the dictionary then my husband&#8217;s picture would take up the whole page!&#8221;</h2>
<p>We fit the pattern of couples married for a very long time, 24 years. In these days odds are against that. And, like many long-married couples, we had fallen into a rut. Same old routine day in and day out. Somewhere along the way we stopped trying to connect with each other. My husband started filling his time with church work 4 to 5 days a week, not including actually going to church on Saturday and Sunday (we&#8217;re Catholic so there are masses both days). I think he realized that might have been excessive and cut back, but that was only after I complained and complained about never seeing him. This was the real problem: he was so used to spending time away from me and getting what he should have been getting from the me that he only switched his focus to sports, visiting his father 5 to 6 times a week (his father is in excellent health, but they have common interests), even spending hours talking to his favorite garage mechanic. No, there were no extra-marital affairs, thank goodness.</p>
<h2>Both Sides Played a Part</h2>
<p>I am not blameless either. I spent at least 8 hours a day in the garden, often more, and for some reason it took priority over what little time my husband was home. So we tried regular marriage counselling. After paying a good deal of money to be beaten up by the counsellor about my health issues causing all the problems in our relationship (chronic depression among other biggies) we stopped because of financial reasons around Christmas time. My husband has not mentioned anything about going back. Imagine spending your 24 th anniversary by yourself while your husband declared he was going out to clean the garage, and then went off to spend the rest of the day with his father! No “Happy Anniversary” card, absolutely no mention at all, and he was the one who had always remembered the date.</p>
<h2>A Welcome Solution</h2>
<p>So, during one of my many nights with insomnia, I Googled marriage counselling and Mort Fertel&#8217;s name came up. I read through the whole site. And I couldn&#8217;t believe how much sense his approach to marital problems made. Yes, it would seem “counter-intuitive” as he explains but traditional counselling did absolutely no good for us. Within the week I signed up for the Lone Ranger track. I have read his book, am on the second reading now; listened to all the CDs, poured through the notebook. I can honestly say that there wasn&#8217;t any question or problem that wasn&#8217;t covered in the materials.</p>
<p>He gave the best advice I have ever heard about marriage problems . It&#8217;s been three full months. And guess what? My husband has started joking with me again! I don&#8217;t remember how long it&#8217;s been since that happened. We talk! He even is starting to make physical contact again instead of trying his hardest not to brush against me (that was one of the worst things to endure).</p>
<p>Hope is a wonderful thing; it&#8217;s worth all the hard work to rebuild a successful and loving<br />
marriage.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1>What Can I Do To Make My Wife Love Me Again</h1>
<p><a href="http://www.marriagemax.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/file00035314018711.jpg"><img class="alignnone  wp-image-1165" title="what-can-i-do-to-make-my-wife-love-me-again" src="http://www.marriagemax.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/file00035314018711-300x225.jpg" alt="What Can I Do To Make My Wife Love Me Again" width="552" height="377" /></a></p>
<p>Have you ever been in a situation where you think to yourself, &#8220;<strong>what can I do to make my wife love me again</strong>&#8220;? Keep reading to find out what one of our clients, name withheld upon request, did when he asked the same question.</p>
<p>My wife of 24 years informed me that she was no longer IN love with me, that she was having an affair with a long-time client of hers, and that she was going to divorce me. She was going to move out of the house and we were to work on figuring out an amicable parting of our lives. I was devastated, although not entirely caught by surprise.</p>
<h2>Change the Dynamic of Your Relationship</h2>
<p>After overcoming the shock and pain you feel when you realize there is a break in your relationship, it is important to figure out how to fix what went wrong and how to make your wife love you again.</p>
<p>I made some very good decisions in the first couple of weeks following having the bomb dropped on me. One of the best was deciding to enroll as a Lone Ranger in the Marriage Fitness Tele-Boot Camp .</p>
<h2>Make a Change Within Yourself and in the Relationship</h2>
<p>Following that, implementation of the Marriage Fitness concepts has made me a better person and has dramatically changed the momentum in our relationship.</p>
<p>Taking responsibility for his part, our client has shared his good news.  As I write this two incredible months later, my wife has broken off her affair and has re-engaged in our relationship. We still have a very long way to go to heal our lives, but the trajectory that our relationship is currently on is one that I could have never dreamed possible two short months ago. We are having fun together again and are both extending love and compassion to each other.</p>
<h2>Hard Work Can Lead to Positive Results</h2>
<p>All of this has occurred without my wife having the slightest clue about Marriage Fitness or Mort Fertel. I have characterized my participation on the calls and the time working on the materials as working on “healing myself,” a statement that is entirely true. The fact that it is also helping heal our marriage is a very pleasant side benefit that we are both currently enjoying. I <span style="text-decoration: underline;">am </span>a living testimony to Mort&#8217;s belief that the actions of one can change the dynamic in a relationship.</p>
<p>Thank you Mort. I look forward to your further wisdom and counsel as we continue on our journey.</p>

<p>My name is Brianna Paul, and I want to share my story with you. About a year ago, after only 2 years of marriage, my husband David and I were headed for a separation. I couldn’t believe it!</p>
<p>David felt that I wasn&#8217;t fulfilling his needs anymore. At first I disagreed with his way of thinking—it was hard for me to even consider that I had a <a title="Click here to learn about dealing with marriage difficulties" href="http://www.marriagemax.com/blog/dealing-with-marriage-difficulties/">lack of commitment in marriage</a>. But I knew I wanted to stay together and work out our differences, so we got help from an online alternative style marriage counselor.</p>
<h2>My Marriage Commitment Issues Were News To Me</h2>
<p>I was reluctant to take responsibility for our issues, but after just a few weeks of the online counseling I realized I had serious commitment issues. I won’t bore you with all of our issues, (no, I was never unfaithful to my husband), but here are the ones that stood out the most:</p>
<ul>
<li>I routinely made important plans without talking to David first.</li>
<li>I avoided participating in making long term plans.</li>
<li>I wasn’t open with David about my fears or my feelings.</li>
</ul>
<h2>My Marriage Commitment Issues Were Hand Me Downs</h2>
<p>Through the online counseling I realized that my fears about commitment in my marriage weren’t really clear to me because they didn’t start with me.</p>
<p>What a relief!</p>
<p>I discovered that I was projecting my parents’ <a title="Click here to learn how to end a marital conflict" href="http://www.marriagemax.com/blog/how-to-end-a-marital-conflict/">failed marriage</a>. My parents went through a very rough divorce in my early teens, and it devastated my mother. She was blindsided, having no idea it was coming until my father was already gone. I subconsciously feared the same thing would happen to me.</p>
<h2>My Lack of Commitment in Marriage was Just Fear</h2>
<p>When David discovered how my past impacted our relationship he was able to understand where I was coming from. We began to work together to address my fears and truly fix my lack of commitment in our marriage.</p>
<p>He also started to change some of his own unintentional behaviors that fed my fears. By working together, we became much closer than ever before. Most importantly, David no longer <a title="Click here to learn how to stop growing apart in marriage" href="http://www.marriagemax.com/blog/growing-apart-marriage/">questioned my love</a> for him.</p>
<h2>The Ending Was a Great Beginning</h2>
<p>After only a few months of online alternative style marriage counseling, we started a new life together. The program suggested we draw up a commitment contract. We did.</p>
<p>We made a small ceremony out of signing the commitment contract, and even made a cover for it which read “I Plight Thee My Troth.” It was our way of acknowledging that we had battled a very serious problem and won!</p>
<p>With a little understanding about David and myself, I fixed my lack of commitment in marriage!</p>
<h2>A Lack Of Commitment is NOT a Lack of Love</h2>
<p>Our story is proof that a lack of commitment in marriage doesn’t mean you don&#8217;t love each other. If you’re going through similar problems, <a title="Click here to learn how to be more assertive in a relationship" href="http://www.marriagemax.com/blog/how-to-be-more-assertive-in-a-relationship/">try to work things out</a>.</p>
<p>If you need help figuring out how to start, then fill out the form below and let Mort send you free marriage tips directly to your inbox.</p>
<p>Never give up on your partner! If we could make such drastic improvements to our relationship, then so can you!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My name is Ginny Hall and my husband Pete and I very nearly filed for separation last year due to financial problems in the marriage. I had always heard that <a href="http://www.marriagemax.com/blog/common-mistakes-marriage/">money problems in marriage</a> were one of the leading reasons for divorce, but that wasn’t driven home until we faced it ourselves.</p>
<h2>We Were Constantly Fighting about Money Problems in our Marriage</h2>
<p>We’ve been married for eleven years and we sort of took turns handling the finances in the marriage. In the beginning, my husband handled all of the bills and finances. After we had our daughter, I left my job to stay at home and I handled the money and bills. Neither method worked for us. By late last summer, the trouble with finances in the marriage were the only thing we seemed to talk about.</p>
<h2>We Needed Help Before Our Financial Problems in Marriage Led to Divorce</h2>
<p>Things finally got too heated and unproductive for us to deal with alone. We agreed to get some <a href="http://www.marriagemax.com/blog/marriage-counseling-working-through-relationship-problems/">marriage counseling</a> to help us handle all the issues we had about finances in our marriage. It was the best move we could have made. The counseling helped us see that we were hurting each other and our marriage by creating the money problems in our marriage.</p>
<h2>We Had Failed from the Beginning</h2>
<p>The first thing the counselor advised us was that the time to agree on our financial values and goals was before we got married. We had never talked about money before the wedding, other than agreeing on certain purchases or expenses. Because we hadn’t reached an agreement on how we would handle <a title="Click here to learn about responsibilities in marriage." href="http://www.marriagemax.com/blog/responsibilities-marriage/">finances in the marriage</a>, we had made it impossible to work together toward a common goal.</p>
<p>The counselor then had us sit down over coffee and draw up a very simple idea of how we wanted the money to be handled. He had us ask these questions:</p>
<p>a)      What are our three top priorities for our finances?</p>
<p>b)      How can we adjust our budget to meet those mutual goals?</p>
<p>c)       How do we want to spend our discretionary income?</p>
<p>d)      What one thing can we work together to save for, something that will make us both happy?</p>
<p>That exercise may sound overly simplistic, but it was just a beginning. It got us talking about the money <a title="Click here to discover what to do if you and your husband are growing appart" href="http://www.marriagemax.com/blog/husband-and-i-growing-apart/">problems in our marriage</a> in a constructive way and it also got us working together on a pleasant goal: a trip to Disney World.</p>
<h2>The Second Most Important Thing</h2>
<p>The counselor told us the second most important rule we’d broken was by making one of us completely responsible for the finances in our marriage. When my husband was handling the finances in our marriage, I really resented the way he questioned me about every single thing I bought or every dollar I spent. When I was handling the money, I hated the way he would spend money without telling me, which messed up my budget every month.</p>
<p>Of course, now we know that only one of us was on a budget at a time!</p>
<h2>Money Problems in Our Marriage Are Now Very Small</h2>
<p>We still disagree about how to spend our money, but now the issue is something like, “Do we buy a new washer or a used one?” rather than the huge fights we used to have. When we disagree, we talk until we reach an agreement. The important thing is that we’re working together.</p>
<p>If you’re having financial problems in your marriage, take heart. If you can start working together instead of against each other, you can actually make your marriage much stronger. We needed help to do that. There’s help available for you, too.</p>

<p>We’re Margo and Jason Canton. We’ve been married for seventeen years and have three great kids. The last few years has been very rough on us and on our marriage.</p>
<p>My husband’s brother passed away suddenly, my widowed mother came to live with us, my husband lost his job and my business was <a title="Click here to learn about stress in relationships" href="../../../../../stress-in-relationships/">struggling</a>.  When you go through periods like that, you focus more on how to survive each day than on how to keep a strong marriage. However, we came out of it as better friends and lovers than we were before.</p>
<p>We had a lot of help during this time, but we’d like to share what we learned about how to make your marriage stronger during tough times.</p>
<h2>How To Keep a Strong Marriage When You’re Feeling Weak</h2>
<p>Really hard times and tough situations, especially if they’re ongoing (like my aging mom moving in) can really wear you out.</p>
<p>We learned that it’s extremely important to remember that your spouse is feeling overwhelmed and overburdened, too.  Sometimes you can get so exhausted and run down by circumstances that you feel like it’s all you can do to keep yourself going, much less take care of your spouse.</p>
<p>Along the way we found out that by taking a few minutes to ask how the other was doing, and really listening to the answers, we were able to build a <a title="Learn how to make your husband happy!" href="../../../../../what-can-i-do-to-make-my-husband-happy/">strong marriage</a>, a little bit every day.</p>
<h2>How To Make Your Marriage Stronger in 5 Minutes a Day</h2>
<p>At one point, as I took care of my mom and tried to run my small home business, my husband was going on interviews and searching for a new job. Somewhere in there, we still had three kids to take care of, too.</p>
<p>There were plenty of days that we had just a few minutes together out of an entire day. We learned to make sure that if five minutes was all we got, we got it alone. We also learned to make the most of it to lift each other up. We even made a deal that we would make each other laugh at least once a day, even if that meant a thirty-second tickle fight.</p>
<p>Sometimes you have to stop working so hard at figuring out <a href="../../../../../common-mistakes-marriage/">how to make your marriage stronger</a> and play together instead!</p>
<h2>How to Keep a Strong Marriage On No Money</h2>
<p>During this time, we were really, seriously strapped. All those marriage books about how to keep a marriage strong by dating and stealing weekends away together were useless to us. However, we did have a standing date to have coffee on our back deck every Sunday night after dinner.</p>
<p>That time was sacred to us and the kids knew that they had to take care of the dishes, each other and everything else for an hour or so.</p>
<p>It might not sound like much, but we’d light a candle or two or start a fire in the fire pit and just hold hands and talk. It was a wonderful way to get ready for another week, together.</p>
<h2>Now We Know How to Keep Marriage Strong in Good Times, Too</h2>
<p>We’re very grateful that things are easier now. My husband found a great job that allows us to pay for help with Mom, who needs a lot of care. My business is a lot steadier, too.</p>
<p>We know that the things we did to keep a strong marriage in bad times are the same things that will keep us together in good times. We know that what we learned about <a href="../../../../../evaluate-your-marriage/">how to build a strong marriage</a> is just as important now as it was then.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1>How to Tell if Your Husband is Having an Affair</h1>
<p><a href="http://www.marriagemax.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/how-to-tell-if-your-husband-is-having-an-affair.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1132" title="how-to-tell-if-your-husband-is-having-an-affair" src="http://www.marriagemax.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/how-to-tell-if-your-husband-is-having-an-affair.jpg" alt="How to Tell if Your Husband is Having an Affair" width="552" height="377" /></a></p>
<p>If you’re wondering <strong>how to tell if your husband is having an affair</strong>, you’ll be able to relate to the story below. The email we received is from “JW”. Her husband was having an affair and moved out of the house. Using the Marriage Fitness Tele-Boot Camp program, she single-handedly saved their marriage! Within two months of starting the program, her husband moved back into the home and ended his affair. Their marriage is now better than ever!</p>
<p>Dear Mort,</p>
<p>I want to thank you for developing the tele-fitness boot camp and making it so accessible both in cost and ease of use.</p>
<h2>“Husband is Having an Affair”</h2>
<p>My marriage had been on a downward trajectory for a year and despite my needs, wants and intentions, I couldn&#8217;t seem to turn it around. My husband and I saw two marriage counselors together, and each saw individual counselors and again things just got progressively worse. Over the year, my husband moved out of our marital bed, eventually moved out of the house, and had an affair.</p>
<h2>Changing the Momentum of My Marriage</h2>
<p>I started the tele-boot camp the week my <a title="Does Separation Work?" href="http://www.marriagemax.com/blog/does-separation-work/">husband moved out</a>. Within 2 weeks of starting, the momentum of my marriage started changing. I learned to change my focus from my feelings and my reaction to my husband&#8217;s behavior to of my intentions and my desired outcome.</p>
<p>Your program helps you stay focused despite the results that you initially get.</p>
<h2>Unconditional Love Ended My Husband’s Affair!</h2>
<p>Conventional wisdom and advice tells you to use tough love to get what you want, to make demands, to not accept bad behavior. The problem is that this advice is ineffective. You taught me how to love unconditionally, how to become the person I wanted to become so that my spouse would be crazy not to love me. By changing myself despite what my husband was doing, I learned how to become lovable again instead of being cold, disappointed, bitter and disillusioned.</p>
<p>Within two months my husband moved back in, ended the affair, and is working on building our marriage. He has re-engaged with family life, reached out to our extended family to build bridges and is focusing on meeting my needs.</p>
<p>The reason your program is so different from anything that is out there is because you help people achieve their desired outcome. In addition to not judging them for wanting their desired outcome, you encourage them and admire them for their strength of conviction and moral compass.</p>
<h2>Staying on the Path to Success</h2>
<p>Once I started your program, I blocked out all other noise with regards to rebuilding my marriage. You are my mentor and my support system. Whenever I have a bad day with my husband and lose focus, I re-read your book, listen to your CDs, or tune into a tele-conference. I would have spent thousands of dollars with my therapist and I still could not have achieved my desired outcome.</p>
<p>From the bottom of my heart &#8211; thank you. YOUR PROGRAM turned my marriage around. I know I would have survived had my marriage failed, but I didn&#8217;t want to survive &#8211; I wanted to stay married. I wanted my old, loving, kind and caring husband back, and he&#8217;s coming.</p>
<p>I couldn&#8217;t recommend your program more.</p>
<p>Sincerely,</p>
<p>Jw</p>
