Marriage Counseling

"...the miracle I prayed for did materialize and it happened because of you and your Marriage Fitness program "

Dear Mort,

Lisa and I want to thank you, once again, for giving us such valuable advice. As I mentione d , my personal goal over the past 6 months was to somehow find a resource that would catalyze a miracle to help us reconcile and restore our marriage of 32 years. The Marriage Fitness program together with the insightful communications you regularly send by email made all the difference in our lives … We have more work ahead of us but from my perspective, the miracle I prayed for did materialize and it happened because of you and your Marriage Fitness program.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Sincerely,

Richard C

"He gave me a hug and a kiss (I haven't gotten either in so long) and told me how sorry he is for the way he has been acting"

Dear Mort -
Just two months ago I emailed you asking if your program would work for my situation. I bought the Marriage Fitness Home-Flex program out of desperation with the thought, "If this doesn't work at least I tried." My husband was already looking for a roommate and telling me who will get what in the divorce. We went to four marital counseling sessions before he said, "I don't know why we are going, I am done with you." I am not sure why we went either, we just ended up fighting the whole time. So long story short I followed your program (in the Lone Ranger Track), signed up for your emails, and started applying your ideas. There were many days I felt like why bother, he is done with me, but I kept following the program. Ten days ago he told me he was leaving. I almost gave up but didn't. I kept following the program. Two days ago my husband came home from hiking (alone). He gave me a hug and a kiss (I haven't gotten either in so long) and told me how sorry he is for the way he has been acting. He said he is ready to work on our marriage. I know we are on a long journey now but at least now we are on that journey together. I know you probably hear it all the time but you once again saved a marriage that would have dissolved without you. Thank you so much for all of your help.

Thanks again,
KS

"I did the lone ranger track and within two weeks my husband ended his affair "

Dear Mort,

I know you have heard it before, but I want to say it again.... You saved my marriage. My husband said he "loved me but was not in love with me anymore". He was having an affair, during a very hard pregnancy which I later miscarried. I was not very nice when I was pregnant and I was depressed so he turned to someone else. Needless to say losing a baby and a marriage in a two week time-span was unbearable. So I turned to you. Counseling had been a joke just telling us how to communicate. Your program told me what to do. I followed the program exactly. I did the lone ranger track and within two weeks my husband ended his affair and "rededicated his life to me".

Thanks so much,

Lisa Blank

"After 30 years, I'm only sorry we didn't do this sooner. "

Dear Mort,

Thank you for your program. I was driving into my driveway finalizing the words that would tell my wife I'm leaving. Upon arriving home, your program had come as well. Rather than tell my wife I'm outta here, I suggested we listen to a disk. Long story short, we'll be working this out together, getting connected, completing your action steps. I can't wait to continue connecting. After 30 years, I'm only sorry we didn't do this sooner. Thank you.

"I would strongly recommend this program to everyone who does not want to give up on their marriage"

Dear mort,

I was reluctant to begin the lone ranger program. Wondering how I would be able to make a difference in my marriage doing the program alone. Through your sincere mentoring, principles and new habbits used in your program, it is proven to work. I could not beleive I started to receive positive responses from my husband. Although I had invitied my spouse to do the program with me he felt it would not help. So I did not tell him and I started the program. After a few weeks, my husband had commented he seen a change in me. I then took the opportunity to tell him I have been in the marriage fitness program. He now continues to ask if I have a teleconference call scheduled and how things are going. Even though he has not yet join me in the program, I feel confident that my continued efforts and your guidence will bring more change and connection to our marriage. I would strongly recommend this program to everyone who does not want to give up on their marriage and who also wants to improve how to be a better you!

Thank you Mort for making us matter...

Sincerely & God Bless

"I keep pinching myself to see if I am dreaming. Everything has changed so quickly, it is truly amazing"

Dear Mort,

Words cannot express my gratitude for you and your program. I ordered your program out of desperation as a last ditch effort to save my marriage. I wanted to be able to say "at least I tried". I found out that my husband was having an affair, he was determined to get a divorce and move out. There was nothing (according to him) that I could say or do to change his mind. He said that he was a train that could not be derailed. The advertisement for your program said that it addressed all of the problems that we were having and everything my husband was saying, "I love you, but I'm not in love with you" and "I'm checked out...it's over". I thought your program would be too good to be true, but I gave it a shot.

I have been in the lone ranger program for 6 weeks now and I could not have dreamed of a better outcome. My husband and I are more connected now than we have been in 10 years. Maybe more than we have ever been. After two weeks of being in the program, my husband came home one night and asked me why I was being so nice. He said that he didn't know what was going on, but that he really liked it and appreciated it. At that point he said that he hadn't changed his mind YET, but that he really liked it. From then on our relationship blossomed. He started giving me touch and talk without even knowing it. Now he looks forward to spending time with me as opposed to trying to get away from me. Last night he said that he no longer wanted a divorce and that he felt that we were very connected and thought things would work between us. I cannot pin point what did it, but whatever it was it is all thanks to you. I keep pinching myself to see if I am dreaming. Everything has changed so quickly, it is truly amazing. You are a gift from God. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!

Sincerely,

Melissa K.

"Your information was outstanding. Actually very simple"

Mort,

I signed up for the lone ranger program. Your information was outstanding. Actually very simple once you explained everything in detail. Hard to believe that your thoughts, suggestions, and theories work, but they do!

I have a long way to continue but it's getting better thanks to you. To do my job I couldn't always attend the Q & A’s live, but the audio files we had access to on the members-only web site were a lifesaver.

Keep up the good work

"Mort gives you the tools you need to rebuild your relationship"

It is certain that his program works.

When we started the program, we only did it to prove to ourselves that we had done everything we could to save the marriage. Justin had already decided to end the marriage. I was desperate to do whatever i could…we then, at that point, started searching for help and each time, we left feeling worse. There was no intimacy at all.

Mort's program stopped the battles and taught us a new way to look at things. It was the first time we felt like there was really some hope. We were so tired and confused; we barely had enough mental strength to go on. Mort's program gave us tha t s trength.

We both gained new insight to who we were individually. We learned to be patient, and open to the fact that we were changing. Mor t s howed us how to respect and learn each other's need for individuality and how to give each other the space we needed to grow.

Our children have learned that marriage is not to be taken for granted. It is precious. They are so proud of us. As yet, our marriage is not perfect, but it is stable and for the first time in yrs the lines of marriage communication are open so we can solve situations rationally.

Mort gives you the tools you need to rebuild your relationship. Thanks so much mort.

Hi. I'm Mr. Fertel's assistant. My name is Rebecca. People call the office all the time and ask, “Does this program really work?” Well, it's easy for me to say “yes” because Adina (that's Mr. Fertel's other assistant) and I manage Mr. Fertel's emails so we personally received all the testimonials on this web page. When we get them, we just cut and paste them onto the web site. I thought you'd like to know how these stories got here. Keep reading. You'll be amazed at how Mr. Fertel has changed people's lives and how his program has put families back together. I look forward to getting an email testimonial from you one day. Good luck!

"I KNOW GOD HAS HELPED US--BUT I WANT TO THANK YOU ALSO FOR YOUR WORDS"

Dear Mort,

MY HUSBAND AND I ARE MAKING GREAT STRIDES IN GETTING THINGS TOGETHER!!! HE IS COMING OUT OF HIS DEPRESTION AND HAS OPENED COMUNICATION BACK UP 100%! HE IS CALLING ME 2-3 TIMES A DAY (OR ALLOWING ME TO CALL HIM WHEN I FEEL THE NEED) TO CHAT-SOMETIMES DEEP TALKS OTHER TIMES JUST CHATTING ABOUT SIMPLE THINGS! HE HAS COME TO THE POINT WHERE HE CAME HOME AND TALKED TO ME-I SAT AND LISTENED--AND HE POURED OUT HIS HEART TO ME. IT WAS LIKE NO OTHER TIME IN OUR 13 YRS--MAYBE I REALLY NEEDED TO LISTEN BETTER!! I KNOW NOW TO STOP TALKING AND LET HIM TALK WHEN HE WANTS! THERE ARE AREAS OF COURSE WE WILL STILL HAVE TO DEAL WITH-THAT WILL COME! HE HAS ASKED ME FOR OUR 13TH ANIVERSARY TO COME OUT ON THE TRUCK WITH HIM FOR A WHILE-HE FEELS STRONGLY THIS WILL GIVE US THE TIME TOGETHER TO REKINDLE THE FRIENDSHIP AND CLOSENESS WE HAVE ALWAYS HAD BEFORE HE LEFT 6 MONTHS AGO. I KNOW GOD HAS HELPED US--BUT I WANT TO THANK YOU ALSO FOR YOUR WORDS OF ENCOURAAGEMENT AND IDEAS FOR GROWTH BOTH IN SELF AND A COUPLE! YOU HAVE MENT ALOT TO ME IN MY TIME OF NEED--I KNOW I WILL SHARE WITH ANYONE I MEET IN NEED TO GO TO YOU FOR HELP.

SINCERELY,

"Your program had a great impact not only on my marriage, but also improved me as an individual..."

Dear Mort,

I was thinking day after day in order to find proper words to appreciate you for the new window which you opened in my life. While I am in the beginning of reconciling my marriage, but your program had a great impact not only on my marriage, but also improved me as an individual and I see its effect in my work as well. At the beginning, I was wondering if your program will apply to my life since I am from middle east with different culture, but now I believe that the truth is truth and will apply in each and every case.

God bless you.

Best Regards

"Marriage Fitness is a truly incredible program that should be required reading before getting married.

It is really that powerful!"

I am a husband that is in the lone ranger track that was hurt by an internet affair that has tore apart my marriage and family for the past 4 months. Seven weeks ago I discovered Mort Fertel's Marriage Fitness program following weeks of urgent searching for answers on how to rebuild my marriage .

Mort taught me how to transform my perception of love from a passive impulsive feeling which it truly is not, into an active process of consistently giving in small ways among other good habits. Also, by understanding that there really is something I can do in my relationship on my own that can make a huge difference in my marriage has given me tremendous hope.

It is really hard for a person to understand how dynamic a process the Marriage Fitness program is until you jump in. Since getting involved in the Marriage Fitness program I have been to Psychotherapists and have found that they just don't hold a candle to the practical solutions that Mort's program offers.

I still have work to do to win back my obstinate wife's love but the encouragement that I receive from the Marriage Fitness program I participated in, is keeping my outlook positive and I am seeing my wife's guard coming down slowly but surely. Endurance and consistency in implementing Mort's habits of a phenomenal marriage are absolutely key but without his Q&A sessions and laser sessions I would have lost hope by now.

Marriage Fitness is a truly incredible program that should be required reading in high school or at least before getting married. It is really that powerful! I wish I would have found out about Mort Fertel many years ago. I have never felt so compelled to offer my most sincere endorsement of any other product or person's services in my entire life.

" After going through your program we are closer than we have ever been and we are finally a team."

Dear Mr. Fertel,

Prior to starting your program, our 11 year marriage was in ruins. We were divorcing, fighting over the kids and who got to keep the furniture and pets. We had gone through my discovering my husbands 10 year affair, my own emotional neglect, not to mention the years of financial distress, the stress of two jobs and three kids, plus verbal and emotional abuse after all this we thought that it was over. I accidentally came across your site one day while looking for something pertaining to my upcoming divorce and thought what would it hurt to give it a try. My husband went along with it, and from the first week, things changed. After going through your program we are closer than we have ever been and we are finally a team. Thank you very much for your great program, it saved us and our family.

"WE have both seen improvement"

Although my husband initially sent me the link to Mort's site, I am the one who ordered it, and then it was like pulling teeth to get Jim interested in working the program (not just in "theory" but in practice). We are just now starting to gather momentum. When Jim and I drive to work he takes a CD to listen to, when we go somewhere together in the car, we take a CD of Mort's to listen to. Mort is right, IT IS NOT EASY. But we are not giving up. WE have both seen improvement, albeit slight. At this point we are still trying to get the flywheel (as Mort calls it) to start working on it's own.

"We are no longer searching for lawyers and affairs...we now spend our searching for ways to grow and strengthen our marriage"

Dear Mort,

If anyone thinks that "it is the end," "it's hopeless"....then they had better think twice. I actually sat down with a lawyer to begin divorce proceedings...the worst day of my life. By some miracle I found your program. By some second miracle my husband RELUCTANTLY decided to listen to your program. By some other miracle we both came to an epiphany about our lives, our marriage and the true love that was lying just beneath the surface of our existence. We are no longer searching for lawyers and affairs...we now spend our searching for ways to grow and strengthen our marriage and striving to be role models for our two beautiful children. We could not have been closer to divorce. There were 3 affairs to contend with....but still we are together and happy about it. It is never too late, there is hope for anyone who dares to try. To all those marriages that are crumbling: Be brave, be daring, be strong, be willing to jump into an ice cold river to be swept away by the warmth of love. Thank you Mort Fertel for somehow finding answers for all of us who were too blind to see the light, too frightened to open our hearts and too trapped to escape doom. From GP and JG

"Marriage fitness is a working miracle for us"

Hi Mort:

I am happy to give you a testimonial to Marriage Fitness as it has been so wonderful for us.

We have only been married for 5 years and have dealt with lots of issues mostly about our blended families. We even been seperated once for 5 months. We had been fighting quite a bit and were at the point of breaking up again when we both decided we would put our energy and resources in to saving our marriage instead of breaking it apart.

Marriage fitness is a working miracle for us… This has been the best thing we could have done. We are discovering a true connection and growing love, respect and trust.....Thanks Mort, you have been a blessing to us and our marriage!

"... and we have slowly recovered the remnants of a lost family"

Good morning Mort,

I want you to know we would be honored to serve you in this way and share with others the amazing ways our marriage has been saved.

I had the opportunity to speak with you on the phone once... as an American serviceman whose marriage was destroyed by long deployments and the stress of the Global War on Terror. I was a soldier serving in Iraq when my wife gave up on me and betrayed our family with an affair during my deployment. I have learned, demonstrated and applied the principles from Marriage Fitness... and we have slowly recovered the remnants of a lost family. My wife and two sons thank you for this wonderful program.

I too... like many others... owe you and your wife a debt of gratitude.

God Bless!

every chance we get!"

Dear Mort,

We are 2 of your success stories and we credit you for helping save our marriage every chance we get!

We've continued in the Marriage Fitness program and thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your great work. We were married 28 years, separated 18 months, worked your program 6 of those months, had phone sessions with you, and now are back under the same roof for three months. It isn't easy, but we are determined to make our love work for us.

We just had to invite you to the party, knowing you can't be here, but you get positive feedback!

THANK YOU MORT!

"After the first CD we started to understand where we went wrong and thankfully we had someone helping us find our way back"

In all the years that we have been together I can honestly say…in the end it really just became a life of roommates.

We just couldn't understand where things went wrong…we were still about to break off our relationship because we stop talking to each other, we stop doing things together, we were only wrapped up in ourselves and became very unhappy with it, even started looking outside for the affection and self fulfillments that were no longer.

I found Marriage Fitness Tele-Boot Camp on line and I really liked what I was reading, I can tell you that even after the first CD we started to understand where we went wrong and thankfully we had someone helping us find our way back to falling in love with each other again.

No, it's not that easy and yes it is. No, because one of us didn't really want to and didn't think it would make a difference, but we started and continued working with the program after four weeks we started talking all the time, we started doing things again together and yes we are falling back in love again, but every day we are reminded that we could fall back into roommates again if we don't continue with the program long after were done with the Marriage Fitness Tele-Boot Camp .

Thank you Mort for waking us up and being there when we were searching for that help.

"You have helped [my husband] and myself learn how to get over the pain and continue on with a marriage that we both want to last forever. "

Dear Mort,

I just wanted to write you and tell you that you have been a bigger and more inspiring help than our marriage counselor that we have been seeing for over a month.

I had an affair that lasted 9 months. Why? Because I felt like I wasn't getting the attention that I had thought that I "required." My husband whom I never stopped loving decided to forgive me but in the process is still bitter and hurt. You have helped him and myself learn how to get over the pain and continue on with a marriage that we both want to last forever.

Thank you,

Subject: Success story. . .

Dear Mort,

I wanted to write to you and share with you the successful reconciliation of my marriage and the ongoing repair work that we are undergoing to rebuild and strengthen it.

I signed up for your program to repair my marriage. After 2 months of applying what I learned in your program, much prayer, and much effort, my wife came back to me. We discussed our issue, had real communication, and continue to do so today. Our marriage has never been better. I am so happy and grateful that I received your advice, and that it has really worked.

To couples everywhere, believe in the advice that Mort has to offer, because if you apply it, you too, can transform your marriage. My wife did not want to do it, or even try, but the changes I made in myself and the application of the advice Mort sent can make miracles happen. Prayer and giving the situation over to God is also a big key. Trust in Him, and use Mort's principles, and no marriage will really be over.

"I wasn't sure this day would ever come but now that it has I am glad I followed your advice and gave myself the time to learn

the skills you advocate in your program."

Dear Mort,

I wanted to thank you for your program and your support during our 1 on 1session. Just wanted you to know that my husband and I are getting back

together. It has been a long road and at one point I almost gave up and started to move on with my life without him. Funny how that letting go was

just what he needed to find me again. Anyways, we are making plans for our future and I will continue with your plugged in sessions since they have become

so valuable to me. To be honest I wasn't sure this day would ever come but now that it has I am glad I followed your advice and gave myself the time to learn

the skills you advocate in your program. Without that, I may have been hurtful and cruel, behaviours that benefit no one. Thankfully I was able to stay loving to my husband throughout our difficulties and now I can see that our relationship will be stronger for it.

Thank you for being there.

Subject: God and Your program are awesome

I followed your program as the lone ranger. I listened and used your suggestions. It now seems so simple. In the beginning I was very leery. I just wanted you to know that everything has turned 180 degrees from “I love you but I'm not in love with you and my wife wanting a separation to see below:

- Last night my wife bought me flowers and double stuffed oreos (My Favorite)

- She sat down and told me she loved me very much and was sorry she had not contributed her share to the relationship

- She told me I was a wonderful man

- She told me she could not imagine me not being in her life married to her

Is God not awesome!!!!!

Thank you for everything.

" I cant believe it was as simple as it really was. "

Mort,

Having recently completed the Boot Camp, and due primarily to me being out-of-town for more than half of the 7-weeks, even with me/us botching the schedule and the workbook assignments, my wife and I are ecstatic over the quantum change made to our relationship, our newfound ability to communicate, and mutual desire to strengthen our marriage.

To have our teenage kids advise us that we're "creeping them out" lately, due to the amount of attention we have been giving each other (not to mention the thought of mom and dad "going on a date"), we must be doing something right.

Celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary yesterday really took on a special meaning, considering that a couple months ago (and for several years leading up to it), I was miserable in wanting to get back the feelings we once had, but not knowing how to do it . . . I cant believe it was as simple as it really was.

Heartfelt thanks.

"My husband and I have just celebrated our 6 th anniversary … thanks to this program. "

First and foremost Thank god for Mr. Fertel because his program was exactly what I needed! This program was a last resort for me because I had done the talking and begging with my husband and it was not working. I was not reaching him. I sign up on The Lone Ranger Track as a last resort. At first, I was skeptical because I had never done anything like this before and did not believe this could really work. Once I read through the book and listen to audios I realized where I was going wrong and that I was not the only person going through this. I started implementing Mr. Fertel's concepts and advice, with great difficulty. I had zero hope, out of ideas and wanted to change this situation ASAP. I began to see a slow change in my husband and myself.

My husband and I have just celebrated our 6 th anniversary Nov.3 … thanks to this program. I have and still am implementing the process with my husband. I use every opportunity I have to connect with him and let him see me as an exceptional wife. I look forward to reviewing what you have taught me everyday and to make that loving close connection with my husband. I can't thank you enough. THANK YOU THANK YOU!!

Forever grateful,

"In less than a week my husband was looking thru the material and willing to listen to the CD's."

Dear Mort,

I would like to first commend you on your patients, understanding, and clarity. I was looking for the ultimate answer to my problem marriage. When I found you, I immediately signed up for the program. I started out on the lone ranger track but after I listened to the 1st CD and read the book (all in one evening) I began putting actions into motion. In less than a week my husband was looking thru the material and willing to listen to the CD's. He is kind of hard to impress but you did it.

Your program is a no brainer if you just think about it…the CD's explain in full color what we have been doing to each other. I can not Thank You enough for opening our eyes. We can work together again without arguing, we talk a lot more and sometimes the tv doesn't even get turned on. I thank God every day that I found you. It was all the right timing. You will be in our lives forever. Thanks again.

Sincerely,

Pam W.

P.S. My husband even did the whole laundry one week by himself. He even folded the clothes. BIG STEP.

"Thank you for being a shining example of

excellence and integrity."

Dear Mort,

I just want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart for your wisdom and straightforwardness. Your answer lifted a huge weight off of my heart. I asked you about my husband watching pornography and feeling uncomfortable that he still watches it especially after he'd tried several times in the past to get me interested in engaging in sex with other people, etc. I just want to relate to you that previous counselors we've had would say things like its ok to fantasize about other people, it's harmless. I never felt this was ok, but felt outnumbered when a respected female counselor sided with my husband and told me that it was healthy to fantasize about other people... I started feeling that maybe I wasn't being open-minded enough. I was so pleased to hear you say that its not something that I need to accept and that this is one area that you don't relate to the average person in - that pornography doesn't have a place in any marriage. Thank you so much. I know that I have the right to feel and believe what I want regardless of what other people may think and believe, but it really is nice to know there is someone out there whose opinion I respect that also feels this way. It gives me strength and it just validates for me even more that I've found the right resource in you and the Marriage Fitness program. Thank you for being a shining example of excellence and integrity. I appreciate so much the work you are doing.

"It is not an easy journey but with Mort's help he can help you restore love in your marriage, even if you're on the brink of divorce (as we were)."

The Marriage Fitness program by Mort Fertel has been a truly transformative experience. If you are looking for a great teacher, mentor, and coach in making your marriage all that you knew it could be - look no further. It is not an easy journey but with Mort's help he can help you restore love in your marriage, even if you're on the brink of divorce (as we were). This program has even inspired our creativity together in a poem we dedicate to Mort and to our journey to marital success:

Together

There once was a couple named Robyn and Jeff

Their souls knew each other before they ever met.

They walked down the road of life's path

On their way from a distant and troubled past...

They started along their journey together and

Somehow lost their way - But with Mort, love and

Pat ience they began a whole new day...

In making their dreams they always knew

Together - would come true...

And so now the journey of healing begins

Back to the path of love where their souls

Have always been...Together!"

Thank you Mort!! Sincerely, Jeffrey & Robyn Sadowski

" I am blown away with how far we have

come in just 10 weeks. "

Mort,

I'm at a loss for words. How do you thank someone for changing your whole world? I want to jump through this computer screen and give you a big hug (not that you'd let me, LOL).

Mort, you didn't just help our marriage but you changed our whole family. We've been married for 15 years, have four children and were on the brink of divorce. The emotional pain I had inside was so bad it was almost a physical pain. The worst part is that you can't go through pain like that without it having an effect on your children. We tried to shield them as much as possible, but they knew something was wrong. To think of what we were putting them through emotionally, breaks my heart.

We too, tried everything from traditional marriage counceling to Venus and Mars and everything in between. Nothing worked. There wasn't a doubt in my mind that our problems were just too big to overcome.

Then we found you. Mort, you honestly were our last ditch effort. I personally thought it was too much money to spend but you offered a money back guarantee and I had full intentions on collecting it. My husband and I decided to give your program a try but in the back of my mind I knew it wouldn't work and I continued to make plans for a new life without my husband. Then something happened. Not overnight, but it happened. I'm not even 100% sure of what it was, but it was working. I am blown away with how far we have come in just 10 weeks. Everything is different. My husband and I are more in love now than we were on our wedding day. 10 weeks ago I couldn' t s tand being in the same room with him and today I know with all my heart that we will be together forever. Divorce will never be an option for us. Were gonna make it.

I've heard i t s aid that people don't change. What a bold faced lie. My husband was the mos t s tubborn person I knew. He hated counseling, "working on our problems" and every single program we ever tried. But Mort, he loved your program. For once he wasn't being blamed or made to feel defensive. You were able to create an environment that was safe, non-threatening and fun. You totally impressed him (and that's no small feat). For the first time in 15 years, he was asking me to do our "homework". Why? Because it was working. He did a complete 180. We both did.

Knowing what I know now, I would have paid a million dollars for this program and I can't believe you charge so little for what you offer. You literally have every base covered and I know you put your heart and soul into it. This is not just a profession for you. It's not about making a buck. You have a God given gift and you're changing lives.

A few months ago I asked God for help. I didn't know what to do; there was nothing left to try so I left it in his hands. He gave me you. So, thank you God, and thank you Mort.

"I am only in Phase 5 of your program, taking care to absorb slowly all that I can, and yet your invaluable information has found a place in my heart."

Mr. Fertel,

Thank you for the opportunity to express my deepest regard for you and your program.

Almost three years ago my wife informed me that she wanted "out" of our marriage, that "she loved me, but was not in love with me" and as a matter of fact doubted she ever was. We had tried traditional counseling to no end, as she simply went long enough to inform the therapist of our incompatibility in order to justify her desire to leave. I tried another popular rout that a friend had found on the internet called "Stop Your Divorce", and at first it proved to be invaluable - but had no integrity in the end.

Then one day during lunch with a new acquaintance from the Campus Crusades for Christ International, during a discussion based solely on business, he stopped me in my tracks and said "You're in Pain, who have you recently lost?" Believing that my general demeanor must be based on the physical loss of a family member or friend, as I am traditionally an extreme optimist, I quickly disclosed minor details of my pending divorce, and apologized to him for being distracted. Without further personal inquiry he immediately told me that I needn't worry, and gave me your contact information. I didn't ask any questions, I simply trusted God had placed this Godly man into my life and his advice was the right path to follow.

I initially did nothing but sign up for your web site, the cost of yet one more dead end cure to an already doomed marriage just seemed daunting. But day after day your inspirational mass messages seemed to hit home just at the right times. Even though they were meant for all whom where on your e-mail list, I had finally found a message that amalgamated with my own faith driven desires to save my marriage, stop the cycle of abandonment within my wife's family and to "Put Love First" no matter the cost. Because my wife was outwardly "acting out", my friends and family could not understand my devotion to her and willingness to accept the blatant apathy towards me and our two young girls - but I had to try to "save her from herself". What I didn't know, was that I had to save myself first; if you attempt to save a drowning person by confronting them head on, they will pull you both down. Your "Fast is slow and slow is fast" concept seemed foreign to me, as did the idea of letting go of the issues, especially the Mr. Fixit in me. The key to this program for me is the idea of not engaging in these behavioral changes in order to just save your marriage, but to transform your love relationship with your spouse for ever. Every night my oldest daughter and I say our prayers together, and at the end of each night she says "Heavenly Father help me let go of the dime". She gets this line from a story heard from my Minister; a little boy gets his hand stuck in this precious family vase, the father sprays his son's hand with WD 40 but the vase stays trapped. His mother rubs her son's hand with olive oil, yet again the hand remains trapped. They call the fire department for advice but once again nothing seems to work. Finally the little boy says "daddy, should I let go of the Dime?"

I am only in Phase 5 of your program, taking care to absorb slowly all that I can, and yet your invaluable information has found a place in my heart. I find integrity with what I'm doing and how I am attempting to connect with my wife, as opposed to manipulation, trickery or conditional motives. For the first time I am working towards true unconditional love and understanding with the one person for whom I made a covenant with God to love forever.

It is my personal opinion that it behooves anyone, not just those couples struggling with a myriad of issues in their marriage, to experience this "Boot Camp" either alone (The Lone Rander) as I have or as a couple. Thank you again for your guidance and inspiration, I hope this note reaches others who feel that there is no hope in marital redemption.

Sincerely Grant

"[My husband] is arranging his whole life to make time for the program… we are closer and more involved in each other's lives than we EVER have been."

Hi Mort,

Durward and I are excited and pleased with the program, and I am SO impressed with Durward's attitude, AND his complete co operation with attending the sessions.

He gave up ANY contact with the woman with whom he was having the affair, and has had NO contact of any sort with her since Dec. 22nd, when he told her that he would not contact her, and asked her NOT to contact him.

Durward is arranging his whole life to make time for the program… We are closer and more involved in each other's lives than we EVER have been. Our sex life is more deep and frequent and satisfying than it has been since the first days of our marriage. And for the FIRST time EVER, Durward seems to be awake and aware of the life keeping services I have always provided, and which he always took for granted. I am stunned by the wonderful things he has done. He is headed home from California , and will be here Monday, and BOTH of us are missing each other, and can hardly wait to see one another. Thank you for helping us.

"Your program is so versatile it allows anyone in the entire country to take advantage of it in the privacy of their own home."

Hi Mort.

It won't be easy to express how significant your program was to my husband and me. He and I have always loved each other but came from different back grounds and had different expectations from one another which wasn't good. I knew we needed professional help since we weren't getting anywhere and both continued to feel hurt by the other. Traditional counseling was not appealing to us because of the expense, the roll of the dice whether you get a counselor that is a good fit and the most frustrating part- it just takes too long. One hour a week is not enough when there is so much to resolve.

One of the best things right from the beginning was your incredible credentials and the fact we didn't have to be in the same city to work with someone like yourself who has such a nationally ranked proven track record. That made sure it wasn't going to be a roll of the dice- needle in the haystack- open the phone book - which is what it would have normally been to try to locate a professional. Your program is so versatile it allows anyone in the entire country to take advantage of it in the privacy of their own home. The combination of the book, audio tapes, live seminars, group sessions, one on ones creates an ideal dynamic for learning. Regular counseling is over $100 an hour- your program provided so much more for under $500. And of course when something works- like your program does- it becomes much more valuable than the actual dollars spent.

What can I say are some of the most significant aspects of what your program did to help us?... It provided a standard of how a husband and wife should treat each other so no matter what someone’s background is they're both on the same playing field. The program also sets the expectations very high which is the epitome of real love- to treat each other so well- to me it is like heaven on earth. What a beautiful thing. Your focus to emphasize positive healthy relationship habits- and to try to forgive past hurts- to start over- creates a new beginning. Every couple that's going to get married should participate in a program like yours that emphasizes such important habits to be generous to their mates and to try to always be a great model for healthy loving behavior. Plus Mort- I don't know how you do it- handle so much hurt every day by those of us that are struggling- and you exude such caring concern to all of us. I am so thankful for you. Your help was a critical turning point in our marriage. You and the program are an incredible blessing that in my mind are divinely inspired. I will never forget your kindness and caring and the beautiful message of love that is the basis of your program- for us to be good to each other. My husband and I are connecting again on a level I have only dreamed of having in my life. It would not have happened with out you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Please share my feedback with others so they might get a glimpse of hope of what you can do for them as well if they are struggling.

Valerie Kemmer

I also asked my husband to provide input on what the program meant to him. Here are his words:

"He's made me realize little things are important- don't take things for granted- and it doesn't matter if your together one day or for 30 years- you should appreciate the one you love " Jeff Kemmer

All the best to you and your family Mort- now and always. I hope you can continue the powerful work you do to help everyone who is struggling- learn to me good to each other again. You are very dear to us. VK

"Now I live in a world were I can appreciate any and everything, trust my husband and my responses, smile, laugh and be in love with out feeling paranoid, foolish or obligated..."

Mort Fertel is a man blessed with a gift that he has fully tapped into and has chosen to share with the world. He is compassionate, versatile, humble, real and wise.

When I first purchased the program I was desperate for help but I knew just anything would not work. Mort's approaches are so none offensive and lays no blame, only giving resolutions and inspirations. I adore how Mort approaches the answers with out history; that way you know the answer is not tainted or miss guided in the results. And that is exactly what you get RESULTS . My husband is immature, stubborn, insensitive, etc (human). My husband is also spotenanse, keeps me young, strong willed, knows what he wants, focused, etc (perfect man for me). And I truly believe without Mort I would have lost the perfect husband for me. We both came from single parent home and obviously had no clue as to how a happy home was suppose to function. With three girls there love life was looking doomed. But now we all have hope for tomorrow.

I was living in a TV Romance Sitcom called I am Right He is Wrong with spinoffs called Friends Love Drama, Family Trying to Help and What Am I Doing Wrong; What the Matter With Me that caused me great heart aches and a promise of never ending drama. Now I live in a world were I can appreciate any and everything, trust my husband and my responses, smile, laugh and be in love with out feeling paranoid, foolish or obligated no re-enforcements needed from any untrained contaminated sources. I can now freely give and appreciate everything I receive. And believe me my husband is the type of man that only listens to other men. No matter what they said. If a man told him eating grass was manly he would want it for dinner every night. So by the grace of God I found a man that knows how to say small things that have huge impacts, listen and hear at the same time, speech with compassion and genuine concern (Mort). While also teach me how to love long term and receive love in a ways that I know I am going to get a lot more. This program pulled me back from legal separations. I was going to court in the morning and listening to Mort in the evening and then one morning I dismissed everything (a breakthrough). Of course my marriage is not perfect yet but that is the great thing because now we have so much to look forward to and strive for. LOVE is really obtainable and really can be kept for a life time. I would say to anybody that wants to keep there marriage or are not sure if you want to be married you owe yourself the opportunity to try this program. If you know you are going to lose you spouse because of your mistakes and/or theirs why not try it. Worst case scenario you are able to walk from your marriage knowing you did all you can do to be the best spouse you can be if you do everything Mort asks you to do.

"While each marital situation is different, re-connecting after a disconnect has universal principles and Mort teaches them well"

What meant the most to us was that Mort has been through a difficul t s ituation in his own marriage and practices the techniques he teaches. They worked…and i t s hows in the way he talks about his own marriage.

It's one thing to have someone give wisdom arbitrarily but quite another when someone has walked in your shoes. While each marital situation is different, re-connecting after a disconnect has universal principles and Mort teaches them well. I highly recommend his program for any marriage in need of an awakening.

"My husband even passed me a compliment "

Dear Mort: I joined as the Lone Ranger because I felt I needed to do something .. . I didn't realize what I was getting myself into but became addictive after reading your daily emails. The teleconferences, books, cds are of the utmost quality. I found myself listening to the teleconferences over and over at the office instead of the local radio station. While driving, your cd has been plugged in. The workbook replaced Dr. Phil McGraw. I'm achieving positive results … with the tools that you have made available … After seven weeks, I feel great! My husband even passed a compliment "Wow you look great! Is that a new outfit" I just said "Thanks, I feel like I look...great!". Inside joke, I've had the outfit for years and he never acknowledged it before but what's inside the outfit is different! I feel better now than I felt prior to taking your course. Mort, your sincere approach is so felt when listening to these conferences. For seven weeks, you've been my best friend. I thank you for you! I will be continuing with your next program. Many thanks-Vicki M. , Petaluma, California

"This program is sincere, uplifting, and can help any relationship, even if you are not married yet"

You won't find a better Marriage counseling program for the money anywhere.

This program is sincere, uplifting, and can help any relationship, even if you are not married yet. The reason is this program comes from the heart of someone who understands loss and the value of relationshiips, someone who is sincere and genuinely cares about the people he is tring to help.

"You have turned me and my life around."

Dear Mort,

I just wanted to say a simple "Thank you". I have done your program as a Lone Ranger, even though my husband knew. You have turned me and my life around. It is so hard to get practical, honest support and advice. My husband has made a total 360 turn about... Thank you. !!!

"Things now are on the mend..."

I never imagined myself resorting to an internet self help program. But I tried everything else with my failing marriage and Mort's program seemed promising. I realized that I had some HORRIBLE habits that were killing my relationship and I was totally pushing my husband away. Things now are on the mend and on the upswing and my relationship is slowly transforming into something new and infinitely more positive.

"...then it seemed I found an answer to my prayers. I found on the Internet a man called Mort Fertel"

My husband left me 5 ½ months ago after being very unhappy in our marriage for many years. He said I was a good person and friend but that he didn't love me anymore. We have been married for 17 years and like all marriages there were the ups and downs.

Needless to say, this has been the most devastating experience of my life. We have two beautiful children, 14 and 11, and it has been very difficult on them as well. My husband has always a wonderful father and husband but over the years, he started to work more and more and withdraw emotionally from me. We did not take the time to reconnect and it is apparent to me now we were just roommates. Actually more than roommates as he said because sometimes roommates don't like each other and he still considers me a friend.

I desperately tried to search for answers and solutions to this horrible situation. For the first three months I hardly talked to him; I was in so much pain. He, on the other hand, still wanted to help out with the house chores like shovelling snow, helping with the children and so on. It was very painful for me to be near him so I rejected any help at all. I knew I couldn't go for too much longer as it was affecting my whole life, my work, and my children. Then it seemed I found an answer to my prayers. I found on the Internet a man called Mort Fertel and his web site which said I could sign up for a daily newsletter on Marriage Fitness. I thought it couldn't hurt to sign up and started reading some wonderful and inspiring messages. I had almost given up hope of reconciliation because my husband did not want that.

By reading Mr. Fertel's words, I suddenly felt that perhaps there was hope but more importantly I did not feel alone. I became interested in trying his boot camp as a Long Ranger. I felt it couldn't hurt and I also liked the money back guarantee if he couldn't help me. I felt that I could always get my money back. It didn't take long for me to realize that I was receiving help immediately. I took advantage of the laser sessions to talk personally with Mr. Fertel. My husband told me that I had changed and was different. I have apologized for the hurt and deep pain that he has gone through and it was a very moving experience for both of us.

I listen to tapes everyday to and from work and every time I drive anywhere. …we are talking and taking part in family activities together. We went to play pool for the first time ever this past Friday night and it was fun. Whenever I get impatient and want things to move faster, I remember Mr. Fertel's words. I am speaking to my husband from a place deep in my heart for perhaps the very first time in our married life. My husband hugs me when he leaves from our visits and his heart is slowly opening up to me again.

All of this would not have been possible, had I not found Mr. Fertel's program. Everything makes so much sense that I cannot get enough of this help.

Thank you, Mort. I thank God I found you.

Sincerely,

Nelda

"I went from being totally unhappy to being in love with my husband again"

We have been married 42 years, but after my husband retired and we spent more time together, our home became a battleground. My husband seemed to be more satisfied with the traditional marriage counseling than I was, so I started the loan ranger program, Following Mort Fertel's suggested steps, I went from being totally unhappy to being in love with my husband again, and although he expressed no interest in the program, he responded so positively that the difference in our relationship is almost unbelievable. Now I believe that by following through with Mort's program our "golden years" can truly be golden and not spoiled by arguments, resentments and anger..

"I have been to traditional therapy before and

never have I seen so much offered!"

Hi Mort,

I have found your program to be most helpful for the following reasons:

1. You can participate at your own pace in the privacy of your own home.

2. Your personal and professional experience is radiant and gets results.

3. You're very well versed with intercultural barriers and traditions because you believe that ultimately "LOVE" is spoken in only one language!

4. You provide tools that work and that can be used immediately.

5. Your program is unique in that it is SAFE, provocative, inspiring, and inspires and best of all it gives you tools to GROW.

I have been to traditional therapy before and never have I seen so much offered!

Thank you.

"Our house is a home once again but a better

one than before"

Hello Mort,

I don't know if you'll be reading this or if your very nice assistant will.(Sorry, I forgot her name)

I just thought I'd pass on some GOOD news since I'm sure you like to hear about marriages that have been saved. My husband Curt had wanted a separation, got it, and refused to discuss reconciliation. Two months to the day before I could have been receiving divorce papers from his lawyer, Curt asked to move back home instead.

Our house is a home once again but a better one than before. Communication is more open, honest and we speak and listen lovingly to each other. What a testimony of God's faithfulness for us, our children and others who watched us through the past year's storm! You can even find us all together every Sunday at church! (A new church that is uplifting and offers hope instead of warnings of fire and brimstone).

I still have notes from our discussions. Looking back, many suggestions you made were just what our relationship needed.

Thank you again for your encouraging words.

Sincerely, a survivor and new person,

"Within less than three weeks he broke things off with the girlfriend and began working on our relationship"

Dear Mort,

One year ago I contacted you via your web site for help. My marriage had been marginal to say the least for several years. My husband told me the day before Thanksgiving that he didn't love me any more and thought I should move into our vacation house in another state. He was sure I would be happier there. I was in such horrific shock I just did what he asked. Once there I realized this was not what I wanted and I was going to do everything I could to save our marriage of 32 years. To add to the pain I discovered the day after Christmas he was seeing an old High School girlfriend. I packed up and immediately came back home. I had to give it one more try. I joined your Marriage Fitness program in the lone ranger track and began doing the things your program suggested. Within less than three weeks he broke things off with the girlfriend and began working on our relationship. He refused to go to any kind of counseling, so I just continued by myself in the Lone Ranger Track. As I worked the program he seemed to respond in kind and it wasn't long before things were better than ever.

Thank You Mort!

This past year has been the best year of our entire relationship. I would recommend this program to anyone who is having problems in their marriage.

It works!!!!!!!!!

"I purchased Mort's program as a Lone Ranger and got the tools I needed to put back together my shattered life."

As Mort Fertel would say "listen carefully.”

I was at a total loss in my marriage…spinning without a compass. My wife said she wanted out but I wanted to save the marriage. I could hardly function on a daily basis because of the stress. I t s eemed like my whole world was crumbling at the foundation and I was watching it fall apart. I purchased Mort's program as a Lone Ranger and got the tools I needed to put back together my shattered life. His writings and talks helped me tremendously and opened my eyes to the kind of attitude I knew I needed to succeed in my situation.

"Thank you for being there for me."

"Just like that, he moved back in, started telling me he loves me, calls all the time, insists on date night --- I see a beautiful future again!"

Please pass on to Mort that I am simply astounded to say that after working the program…my husband caved and said he's seen how amazing I still am and it's always been me that he wanted. Just like that, he moved back in, started telling me he loves me, calls all the time, insists on date night --- I see a beautiful future again!

Thank you! I'm so glad I never went to traditional therapy!
Best,

"Once I started the program, my anger began to soften."

Before I took the plunge into Mort Fertel 's Marriage Fitness Program, my marriage was in the toilet.

During my pregnancy with a Down Syndrom child, my husband sank into a deep depression, leaving me to hold the family together. I resented him. Our marriage nose-dived, and I faced divorce with four kids under the age of 10!

I came across Mort Fertel 's website, and decided to try the Lone Ranger Program. I didn't hold out to much hope, as I thought at the time that there was nothing that would make me feel love toward my husband again. I was the one leaning towards divorce, trying to decide when to divorce, but I did this program as a last resort jus t s o that I could say that I "tried.”

Once I started the program, my anger began to soften. I saw my husband as a person needing love and understanding, rather than as a self-absorbed man. As I began to change, he did, too!

Thank you, Mort!!

Hi Mort,

I recently ordered and received your program. My husband and I are amazed at your story and have so enjoyed listening to the CDs on long road trips. Your insight and approach are refreshing--such common sense that doesn't dwell on either communication skills or hashing out the past. We LOVE the LOVE approach and have already seen a huge change in our relationship after implementing some of your ideas!

Thank you, Mort. We will definitely recommend your course to friends and family who are struggling with their marriages. It is the best we have found.

"Between our sincere discussions, those q&a's and the first three steps of the program, we quickly got back

on track and remain so."

Mort,

Hi, sorry I didn't respond sooner. Bill and I did not completely make it through all the program; we did complete all the tele conferences and the Q&A's and basically got through step 3 of the 4 part program. Our Notebook suffered as during the last 2 weeks of our program Bill was diagnosed with prostrate cancer so our focus completely changed.

The program did wonders and continues to do wonders. We fixed what we had broken due to lack of focus on each other and continue to practice everything we learned.

The program was fantastic as I could not - without your Q&A's make Bill understand what he was doing wrong without appearing extremely selfish. By the timie I received the program, I thought I was going crazy, then I went through all th Q&A's looking for answers and found them. I marked the one's he should difenetely listen to and explained that if these do not address our problems, nothing will. Between our sincere discussions, those q&a's and the first three steps of the program, we quickly got back on track and remain so.

Now to get through our next test! Thanks a million times over for getting us on the right track and for your help.

Subject: Testimonial

Dear Mr. Fertel,

Your Marriage Fitness program was absolutely phenomenal.

First, understand that I am not the type of person to write in and give testimony. It is with great pleasure that I do now. The value of what you provide is not comparable to any other program out there. I now look at what I thought were “marriage problems” and realize that they are blessings. You have taught me the values and principals I need to be the best husband my wife could ever want. My life is different. I’m confident my marriage will continue to progress into one of deep love not only for the both of us but in the eyes of God as well.

Thank you for everything!

Anthony Schiro

"Every method [Mort] suggested was helpful. "

I would recommend this program to anyone who want to enrich their marriage and especially if they are having marital problems. Mort's method is a totally new way to look at marital problems. Every method he suggested was helpful. This program was hard but very useful. It is a whole new way of looking at things.

I'm so glad I got into the Marriage Fitness program.

" ...renewed marriage, love affair, romance, intimacy, etc"

Mr. Fertel,

I wanted to thank you for how your program has helped thus far.

Your program nailed down exactly what was going wrong in our marriage. After having several children, moving, changing jobs, dealing with problems, etc., we were very tired.

I finally came to a realization that both of us had withdrawn from the marriage. When I voiced this to my wife, hoping to bring about a change, that's when the fighting began. Nothing physical, but the pathway was started down a tough emotional rollercoaster.

We went to traditional counseling, each of us tried to show how the other was wrong and score "points". The counselor was also ineffective, not providing any real advice.

I was referred to your program by a friend when I told him I was at then end. I had decided that my marriage was over and we were going to separate.

The turnaround came when I scheduled a vacation - the first since our honeymoon six years ago. The week before we left, there was the same fighting and problems that we had. We were still "stuck in the mud" as I call it. I even told my wife, then night before we left that if she wanted to go with me, she was going to do what I said (everything) or I would go alone. I claimed I was "King" of the house and if she wouldn't allow me to treat her like my Queen, she could simple leave the Kingdom. As we look back now, it is comical, but we know the feelings were real.

We left on vacation armed with your program. The amazing thing, other than getting a little sick of each other at the end, was that we had a great time and have come home with a renewed marriage, love affair, romance, intimacy, etc. I am certain we will have problems in the future, but it feels different than the times we simply apologized and agreed to be on better behavior. It is now effortless.

I am convinced that if we didn't leave with your program, the vacation would have been a failure and we likely would be fully separated at this point.

I am certain that any given program does not work for everyone, but if someone's marriage fails after taking your program, I would say that not much more could be done.

I have recommended your program to other friends and I know that they are learning what we have...

Thanks again and we hope to gain strength back in our relationship and look to you to help us retain the best relationship we can have.

"Mort taught me how to single-handedly

save my marriage."

Mort,

I would be more than happy to share my testimonial! Hope it helps, I would like my privacy protected so I will sign my testimonial with initials.

I discovered my husband was having an affair after 18 years of marriage. I confronted him about it and he denied it. Even after I gave him proof of the affair he still denied it. The more I spied on him, the more I confronted him, the more I confronted him,the more defensive he would get! I had no clue what to do. Why wouldn't he own up to the affair and end it???

I asked him to end the affair and he said he did, I later found out that he was lying, he had not ended the affair. I asked him to leave our home but he refused. I told him that if he did not end the affair I would file for divorce. The affair continued! I did not know what to do!!! I prayed alot.

I finally got a lawyer and had the initial paperwork completed. I was devastated because I loved my husband and even with this affair going on he said he loved me and did not want a divorce. A divorce was the last thing I wanted.

I searched the internet for help. I prayed for guidance, I came across "Marriage Fitness with Mort Fertel" I signed up for his emails first. I wanted to make sure his ideas aligned with my beliefs..and they did. Mort taught me how to re become a woman of moral character. He was encouraging, hard at times and motivating. I thought prior to the affair my marriage was save and in a good place but after going through the homework assignments I found many opportunities to first, fix myself and second, to restore my marriage. My husband and I have good days and bad days but things are much better because of the boot camp. I was in the Lone Ranger Track and at first I did not understand why I had to change if I was not the one having the affair! Mort taught me how to single-handedly save my marriage. I never thought I could do it, but I did.

Thanks Mort,

TS

"The way I feel everyday now,

could never happened with out you."

Hi Mort,

I bought your program a few months ago. I want to say that it was worth every penny and more.

My husband and I were done, I actually packed up my apartment and left. We were separated for 2 months. I thought we should try counseling, instead I found your Web site. I thought I would give it a try. It was an eye-opening experience. The way I feel everyday now, could never happened with out you. I love him more than anything and I learned so much. He has also listened to your CD's and I see his love for me growing.

Thank you

"I hope that this letter will help others to find that

extra effort to purchase your course"

Mort,

I've read all your newsletters. My marriage has all but disappeared into the hands of attorneys and courts and violence that has got me into so much trouble I can't even talk about without crying. How did it get this way. I must be stupid, she told me, I'm with another man. Get it though your thick head. Where did the woman I married go...? I really wish I could have purchased your course. I tried to be frugal and spend all our money on the bills for our home and the bear necessities. Look where it got me I've lost my wife and lost my home. I hope that this letter will help others to find that extra effort to purchase your course or try the seminars or try something. I didn't and I've lost all.

I held dear.

Thanks for all the letters.

"There's a much better energy in our household."

Dear Mort,

The minute I found your website I knew that it was what I was looking for, yet it took me several more months to sign up for the program.

My husband and I have tried all the usual methods to "fix" our marriage – marriage counseling, (with some very good compassionate and expensive counselors,) communication techniques, Free Online Marriage Counseling, reading books and listening to tapes on Mars and Venus, etc) and very little changed in our marriage except that our dissatisfaction level with each other increased. I think both of us had basically decided to do time in our marriage for our daughter's sake and just ignore each other as much as we could. We had come close to divorce several times over the seven years we've been married.

The tools and insights you have shared have changed my life. I started thinking there's got to be something that will work for my marriage - I just haven't found it yet. Well I

finally found "it" - Mort Fertel 's Marriage Fitness.

I jokingly thought to myself when I started your program - this will be my summer of love. Now I am seeing how it is possible to make this a lifetime of love. There's a much better energy in our household. Thank you and your wife for sharing this life-saving information.

Sincerely,

Zoe Banks

"I followed your lone ranger program and half way through my wife told me that she had seen a change in me"

Dear Mort,

I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your program.

Although we are not out of the woods, we are not where we were. I followed your lone ranger program and half way through my wife told me that she had seen a change in me and now her idea is to do the program herself, lone ranger of coarse, which is ok. I am pretty sure after that she will want to do the program with me.

Again, I would like to express my sincere thanks. It was a lot of prayer and your program that gives me hope that our marriage will be restored.

Thank you.

Sincerely,

"THANK YOU for our second chance! "

Hi Mort,
I just wanted to thank you and let you know that my husband and I have reconciled. I owe everything to you and your program. I did the lone ranger track and with sharing things with my husband we are more in tuned to each other than we ever were---even when we were dating. I learned a lot about myself as well, turns out I'm not perfect. I'm also doing your plug in program and WE are working real hard at our marriage. THANK YOU for our second chance! L.A.

"We have the soul mate love that we never had before! Mort is the real thing! "

Rick and I were separated and headed for divorce this past November. Rick held strong to the possiblity of reconciliation in our marriage. I felt that it was time to give up, but still agreed to go to a marriage counselor here in our community. He was kind, but we only focused on our problems in every session. Rick had researched online some other possible methods of help for our marriage. He found a website and began receiving emails from Mort Fertel. Rick asked me to join him in a "Tele conference Marriage Boot Camp" led by Mort Fertel. This opportunity gave us a marriage which is better than when we first said "I do" 21 years ago. We are having the time of our lives. Before Mort, we were two people living in the same home. We are both so happy to have each other and our Church pastor used us as his example Easter Sunday. He said we look like teenagers giving each other affection and attention every day. I have shared the CD's with other friends in need and they are so thankful for the gift. We are firm believers that with Mort Fertel, any marriage can not only be saved, but made better than ever before. We have the soul mate love that we never had before! Mort is the real thing!
Thank you Mort Fertel for your guidance and support of our family. We just came back from a ski trip in Colorado as a family. There is no other greater feeling than to have your family together and love your spouse as much as I love Rick.

"...really transformed my marriage and now my wife and I are better connected with each other"

Dear Mort

I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for the valuable lessons. I was on the Lone Ranger Track, the instructions really transformed my marriage and now my wife and I are better connected with each other which is the key element in a happy marriage. Minor things still remain and we are working on them.

I believe Marriage Fitness is a very effective program .. . And the best part is that most of the time what appears to be a problem in life turns out to be a very positive thing.

Marriage Fitness Program provided that it is based on strong belief in God, is very helpful in repairing the damage to emotional feelings through misunderstanding or ignoring your spouse' s needs as the closest person to you.

Yours truly

"My wife has moved back home 2 weeks ago, and we are heading in a better direction. "

My wife moved out in April and wanted a divorce: married 18+ years: wasn't like I didn't see it coming

In June, my 15 year old son left me this note one morning:

Dad:

Now that you are reading this, I might be on my way to go skating, but I felt like I needed to remind you

that the measure of a man is not how he conducts himself when life is good, but rather how he is when life is hell.

I love you and always will. We will get through this.

Much love,

Jake

I knew I need professional help if I was to be the man he needed to see, and I needed to be.

The Old Testament says" God hates divorce".

I broke that down:

God: the greatest power in the universe

Hates: the worst emotion I can imagine

Divorce: The end of a marriage, and the end of a family, as I have known it.

I figures if He hates, it, He would make a way OUT of it.

A lot of prayers and a lot of fasting by others changed her attitudes.

A lot of prayers and Marriage Fitness changed mine.

My wife has moved back home 2 weeks ago, and we are heading in a better direction.

My son reminded me that when life is hell: still do the right thing!

There is a lot of marriage "fixing" info out there;

Your's caught my eye when you explained " the best thing you can give your children is a great marriage"

I'd say "thanks" but that would be not nearly sufficient.

"...the best thing we ever did"

The marriage fitness program is the best thing we ever did and while we realize we will never stop going through the marriage renewal process we credit our current happiness and marriage to Mr. Fertel.

"You have taught us how to reconnect and rekindle our relationship and we are grateful for that."

Dear Mort,

It was amazing how, from the very beginning of reading your website, ordering and receiving Marriage Fitness materials, participating in the boot camp program, hearing all that you had to say, participating in the Q & A's, reading everything that we read, and doing the exercises in the work book, pertained to exactly what we have gone through and are currently going through. Brian described it like "Mort was reading my mind"!

We tried a few sessions of marriage counseling about 4 years ago and it was as you described. We came out angrier than we went in and at that time the decision was made that counseling wasn't for us. We have struggled tremendously for these last 4 years, trying to do the best that we knew how to do with some improvement, until we came to the "final straw" in July of 2007. This, as far as Lisa was concerned, was the breaking point and she was thinking divorce was the only answer.

In July of 2007, we reached out to the Internet and found your program. What a God send! Through Marriage Fitness, you helped us remember that we do have a deep passionate love for each other. We just needed to figure out how to find that lost love and make it evident to each other again. We lost our "connection" and we needed to learn to re-connect once again. In our 23 years of marriage, we had 13 moves in a 17 year span, job changes, raising children, both of us traveling with our jobs, loss of loved ones, etc. We were unable to show our love for each other in an effective manor any longer. Over time, this pushed us further and further apart.

We thank you so much for your program as it has shown us how to get back to where we were before "Life" got in the way.

Mort, we can't thank you enough for the hard work and effort which you have put into your program. You have taught us how to reconnect and rekindle our relationship and we are grateful for that. We look forward to a long and healthy relationship in our marriage and a long relationship with Mort, his staff, and Marriage Fitness program.

Sincerely,

Brian & Lisa

"We are getting there..."

My husband and I; everything we did got on each other's nerves. Just the sight of him made me mad. We decided to get a divorce and we were waiting for the right time to tell the children.

As a degreed behavioral counselor, I knew that I didn't want the typical counseling, dredging through the past -- because I know that it will always be there, but the fact of the matter is you can't change it and it really doesn't help to muddle through it over and over and try to change your feelings about it.

I can't tell you how much it meant to us to have a guideline through it all, we started changing our behavior. My husband's changes started immediately. My changes have been and still are developing much slower. We are getting there, thanks to Mort Fertel and Marriage Fitness.

" I am going to make it! And I am confident

that my marriage will too. "

Hi Mort,

Although I haven't taken any opportunity to personally contact you, use any of my one-on-ones or dial in live to the tele-seminars, you are truly a HUGE part of my every day life! I listen to you every morning and every afternoon on my 45 minutes commute! I have signed up for the after program, and will continue to stay plugged in. I am beginning to see the positive response from the love of my life. I am in this for the long haul and I am doing what I am doing for a life change - not a quick fix to my marriage. I understand everything you say, ask of me and believe in your concept. I do worry sometimes about being a doormat but I am slowly getting some great responses back from my love and I feel this door mat feeling will pass. I am committed for a year, as I change my ways and look to see the positive and at the end of the day, I will know I did the right thing - and at the end of the day - that is all I have, right?

I have never spoken to you, or interacted with you, but I feel very close to you and your world! Thank you for the gifts you have given me with your ideas and ways. I am going to make it! And I am confident that my marriage will too. God willing :-)

Warmly,
Tricia Armstrong

"My marriage has come alive again. "

Dear Mort,

I am so glad I signed up for the Marriage Fitness program. I didn't have the money and I was very unsure about signing up. But I am soooooooooooo glad I did. It was a great decision. It was worth every penny. My marriage has come alive again.

Thanks to you Mort.

Sincerely,
TL

" I am sure everyone that looks at your website will understand how the mind races and the heart aches when one of the most important things in your life is in peril. "

Dear Mort,

I can't tell you how important this experience has been in my life. The most helpful part for me was the calm, focused, consistent way in which you addressed every issue at the exact time I needed it. I am sure everyone that looks at your website will understand how the mind races and the heart aches when one of the most important things in your life is in peril. I have been on the Lone Ranger Track since October and I am not done with the program yet. I have restarted a couple of times because I needed to hear the lessons again and again. One restart was recommended by you on our Laser session. Again, at the exact time that I needed it.

To the people in need who are reading this....Just get one of the programs. If you didn't know in your heart that you needed it you wouldn't be here right now.

Thank you so much Mort. I am forever grateful.

"I learned that simple changes in my behavior, recommended in Mort's program, ultimately opens the heart of the even the world's toughest critic."

Mort Fertel gives very effective and thought provoking presentations that pertain to any couple facing marital challenges. Even as a Lone Ranger, Mort's program provides tools that make it easy to achieve positive relationship results immediately. I learned that simple changes in my behavior, recommended in Mort's program, ultimately opens the heart of the even the world's toughest critic. I highly recommended the "Marriage Fitness Program” it encouraged me to focus on the positive aspects of my relationship and carved years of “couple therapy” spent rehashing old issues out of my life … a novel concept that really works!

Regards,

Linda

"It saved my marriage."

I would recommend the Marriage Fitness program to anyone. It saved my marriage. We still have a lot of work ahead of us; however, at least now I know what is ahead of us, instead of wondering if it would be divorce.

"We were on the brink of divorce again.

Then I surfed the net and found you. "

Hi Mort

My wife and I have been married 3 years and it was hard from the start. We've both been divorced before so this was not our first time trying to make a marriage work. This time was not going well either. My wife had 2 affairs, she left 4 times, and marriage counseling was a disaster and so was Free Marriage Counseling Online from some other bimbo. We were on the brink of divorce again. Then I surfed the net and found you.

I ordered Marriage Fitness, hired you for some 1-on-1 coaching, and then registered for the Marriage Fitness Program. In a matter of weeks, you saved our marriage, and, more importantly, taught us how to build love on our own.

If anyone is reading this who needs marriage help or online marriage help, get it from Mort. You won't be sorry.

Thank you again Mort for saving our marriage and teaching us how to create love in our relationship.

"I liked your mix of the philosophical,

religious, and practical life."

Thank you Mort.

I really enjoyed your Marriage Fitness Program and found your approach to be very realistic and dead-on!!! The points you make during your seminars are great - I liked your mix of the philosophical, religious, and practical life. It was a refreshing departure from much of the reading materials and the approaches of other therapists.

I thank you very much for tha t s upport and encouragement.

" I believe you will absolutely at least gain back

your sanity and self-confidence"

As a graduate student, I didn't think I could afford the Marriage Fitness Program. I went to the library and literally checked out and read about a quarter of the way through about twenty books on marriage. After contemplation, I realized that I couldn't afford NOT to take Mort's Program...my marriage and my sanity were too important to me! I signed up thinking that I might take advantage of the money-back guarantee, but with the sanity I gained in my own soul (I am on the Lone Ranger track), I wouldn't take a penny back. Mort's multi-dimensional program to this day continues to strengthen my sanity when life throws me not only loops but roller coasters. I have recommended Mort's program to many people going through everything from pre-nuptial to post-divorce situations. If you don't gain anything else from his program, I believe you will absolutely at least gain back your sanity and self-confidence. The most important thing I have learned is that although you may have NO control over the other person, you have, with God's help, COMPLETE control over your reactions to situations. Thank you, Mort!

"We continue to have fun and laugh at things now instead of letting everything consume us"

Mort, just wanted you to know things are great with Justin and me. Our relationship has improved so much. We are spending time together and enjoying each other's company. Learning that it is more important to pay attention to ourselves has made all the difference in the relationship. I sure have changed a lot of things I say and how I react to certain things. This whole 2 yrs has shown Justin and me a lot. He thanks you also. There was really no other way that he could have shown us both that he needed to grow. He didn't know how and just kept it all in until he exploded. He is such a wonderful person. I wish we could have known these things ahead of time. I have referred so many people to you. We continue to have fun and laugh at things now instead of letting everything consume us. Thanks for saving my family. Jan and Justin

" Your program makes so much sense and is presented in such an organized and complete way."

Dear Mort,

I have spent just about every free moment that I had over the past 2 1/2 months listening, reading and thinking about your program. I am in the Lone Ranger track and it has been a hard period for me. However, your program has been a comfort to me. It has helped me to see mistakes that I made in my marriage. It has also encouraged me and made me feel validated because there were things that I intuitively recognized, but was not sure if I was on the right path. After reading and hearing the materials my spirit would be encouraged and lifted. I have been able to remain calm and do what is right. Your program makes so much sense and is presented in such an organized and complete way. It has just been a real help to me. Thank you.

Sincerely,
Vicky

"It is such a POSITIVE, common sense approach to rebuilding or sustaining ANY marriage. "

My wife and I were high schools sweethearts and have been married for almost twenty-one years. After two kids, separate jobs and the ever-increasing pace of life, we found ourselves totally frustrated with each other and on the verge of divorce. No infidelity or anything; our relationship jus t s eemed "stale" and "more work than what it was worth.”

I spent over $250 on various marriage "help" books and we even attended professional marriage "counseling" to help resolve our conflicts and problems. It wasn't working…we had become masters at blaming each other and resolving conflict by ignoring each other.

I then came across Mort Fertel 's Marriage Fitness program. I purchased the program and decided to take the CD's with me to listen to while driving on a b usiness trip. When I left for my trip, my wife and I gave each other the robotic, "Drive careful" and "see you soon" rhetoric, but we both could still feel the immense strain between us. In actuality, I believe we BOTH were glad I was leaving for the weekend.

Anyways, after the listening to the first CD, I found myself contemplating my role in our marriage. I began to actually re-discover what we "used" to have. Instead of feeling like I was in competition with my wife, I actually started remembering all the things that used to make her feel special...that I was no longer doing. I called her immediately on the cell phone and told her my revelation. I told her I couldn't wait to get back to see her and was already missing her. She began to cry and told me how much she loved me and tha t s he was looking forward to my return. That reaction alone had been a long time coming.

Upon my return, we listened to the CD's together. Within a week, our marriage improved immensely. Mort's perspective on concentrating on the marriage and each other; rather than the "problems"; was the most profound, yet common sense, solution…many of our "unsurmountable" problems simply dissolved. It was our perspectives and lack of focus on each other that were actually "causing" the problems in our marriage.

Unfortunately, these bad habits had been learned over the last 10-15 years. We also found if we were not diligent about practicing or focusing on the Marriage Fitness program, our bad habits would resurface (avoiding, ignoring, etc.) and our marriage would begin to slide. "Plugging-in" each week with Mort gave us that "commitment" we were lacking. After several weeks, we are not perfect, but "DIVORCE" is not even in our vocabulary. I look forward to coming home. My wife looks forward to my coming home. We enjoy being with each other again.

How much do I believe in Mort Fertel 's approach?

For Christmas, I purchased 10-15 of Mort's materials for my family and friends. I have already heard from a handful who wanted to express their gratitude for my thinking of them. A co-worker, who has been through three marriages, told me he wished he'd had seen Mort's materials before his last divorce. It is such a POSITIVE, common sense approach to rebuilding or sustaining ANY marriage.

"Our love for one another has never been this strong, even when we first fell in love with one another and the love between us just gets stronger and stronger by the day."

Hi there Mort, I want to thank you for a wonderful job you have done for my marriage. My husband was having an affair about four months ago, which was going on for abour four months. I confronted him in the beginning of February and he admitted to me that he was having an affair. What broke my heart was that he said that he did not love me anymore and that he loved this other woman. We were married for twenty five years and I thought to myself that I am not going to throw that away and that I am going to fight for my marriage. My husband and I had a lot of tough years behind us and we also had money problems and there was always something there that kept us togethere in those hard times, so I was not going to let this problem break up our marriage and I was going to fight with all the strength that I had in my body to keep my marriage together. My husband had had many affairs before and I had always forgiven him, but this time it was different, because he had never told me that he had loved these other women, he also told me that he had no more feelings for me and that he sometimes wonders if he had ever loved me. Well, let me tell you, I fought and it was very tiring and stressful; I went through all the emotions; I was very insecure. We had sat down and had a very long talk and I told him that I do not believe him when he says that he does not love me anymore and that I know that he does not love this woman, it is only infatuation and he will still find out that he does love me. I do not know how long it will take I said to him, but it will happen. We started going away for the weekends, just the two of us and there was a time that he was still in contact with this other woman and then we would have a long talk again and so life went on. AND YES, HE DID FIND HIS LOVE FOR ME AGAIN AND IT HAD COME BACK EVEN STRONGER THAN EVER BEFORE. Just last night he told me that his love for me gets stronger by the day and that when he is at work, he will send me a sms via cell phone, telling me that he cannot wait to hold me in his arms tonight and that he misses me when we are at work. Our love for one another has never been this strong, even when we first fell in love with one another and the love between us just gets stronger and stronger by the day. On the 19th of July this year, we will be celebrating our 26th wedding anniversary. I know that the Lord is the one that did the most work in our marriage, because I was forever asking the Lord to help us and he answered my prayers. I never told him that I told you so, but deep in my heart I say that to myself, that I knew all along that his love for me was always there, he just had to find that out for himself and I thank the lord every day for the love that we have for each other.

God Bless you.
Sheree

"I cannot express how valuable your course has

been to my life and happiness."

The advice and the concepts you asked us to apply for marriage renewal has changed my life, and even though I did the lone ranger track, I can say that your course saved our marriage. After 9 years of marriage, our relationship had become unbearable for me, in the way we related on almost every level, both with regard to actions and "no action." I knew that I cared for my wife, but the relationship had become almost too difficult for me to continue. Even though we discussed what we each wanted from the relationship, we were not able to get our relationship back onto a course of treating eachother decently, much less romantically. Now, in just two months, there has been significant benefits, and a real opening up by each of us to each other's needs and desires, and I have not been this happy and content in years. I had gone to counseling, and invested substantial sums to try to solve our marriage problems, but the counseling was of little benefit, especially compared to the changes that were effected by your advice to learn how to love another, and I cannot express how valuable your course has been to my life and happiness. I have no doubt that I will review what you taught, and look forward to a very loving and close relationship with the companion I love.

"your program very seriously was the only thing that supported me in my efforts to save my marriage"

Hello, Mort!

Just talked with Adina to pass along the fantastic news...my husband this past Friday asked if he could move back to our home and is committed to reconciling our relationship and marriage! He even has agreed, although we're both still a little tentative and "getting to know each other again", to in the coming months take a vacation somewhere tropical/exotic (we like those kinds of places) and - in a very private ceremony with only me, him, and our 6 y.o. daughter - renew our marriage vows. We'll either do it there or at the church we got married in, although I would love it to be on a warm beach under an arch of flowers at sunset!

Thank you SO MUCH...your program very seriously was the only thing that supported me in my efforts to save my marriage and gave me the tools to work with as well as the understanding of why my husband was acting the way he did and why my "gut feel" was actually making the situation worse. I will always be in your debt and will continue to strongly recommend the program to any friends or acquaintances who are in a period of marital difficulty or just want to make their marriage the best it can be!

Warm regards and huge thanks,

Christine V.

"The way the program is designed, it was easy to “just do it” and the results quickly followed."

Hi Mort,

Marriage fitness is exactly what we needed at exactly the right time. We have been married 25 years and like many couples moved away from each other through the years. We were ready to separate. The issues and relationship problems seemed so big that we didn't know wha t s tep to take first to begin to fix things. I felt like there was a mountain in front of me and I didn't have the equipment and I was already so tired I couldn't think of how to take the firs t s tep.

Marriage fitness gave us the answers, and step by step, the directions to start on a different path. This program is positive and builds the relationship from day one. I knew that if things were going to change we would have to begin to see each other differently and start to build the relationship again. The way the program is designed, it was easy to “just do it” and the results quickly followed. Somewhere in my heart I knew this was the answer, marriage fitness put it into action.

Thanks!

Lisa

"You tell it as you see it and the amazing thing is that even if what you have to say is hard to hear, I still find myself feeling better for having taken your advice."

What I have learned from you and your program can not be measured. I feel like I am finally learning how to be the person and the spouse that I really want to be. Your course is not just a marriage course. It's a LIFE course. I wish I could find a way to convince everyone I know to take your course just so they could benefit from the life values that you teach … I find myself wanting to share what I've learned from you and yet I have a difficult time articulating myself because I can't describe the magnitude of what I've learned.

I've been and still am in the Lone Ranger track of your program … things are improving. And I'm optimistic that there is a light at the end of our tunnel. I would and do recommend this program to anyone. Thank you so much for your wisdom, insight, and constant sensitivity to such difficult and heart breaking issues. You tell it as you see it and the amazing thing is that even if what you have to say is hard to hear, I still find myself feeling better for having taken your advice. Now that's constructive!

I look forward to continually learning more from you and your experience. Thank you so much for such a wonderful program. I surely would have been in a divorce by now if it weren't for Marriage Fitness!

Most Sincerely,
Susan

"What we really find appealing is that you were once in our boat so you know what it's like."

Dear Mort,

The Marriage Fitness Program was a great experience for myself and my husband. I don't know where our relationship would be right now if we hadn't signed up. I don't really believe in divorce but the way things were going, I was starting to consider it! Today, we are both working together to fix our relationship and we are very glad we ran into this program when we did. We have a son and we want what's best for him too, and nothing can make him happier than seeing his parents happy. We know we have just begun to make changes, but we are grateful for your support and knowledge. What we really find appealing is that you were once in our boat so you know what it's like. Thank you for sharing your life story with us and allowing us to see where our marraige can be if we both make some simple changes.

Thanks again,
I.F.

" It was a whole different approach to solving our marital problem"

After going to a marriage counselor and feeling we were not getting much accomplished, we decided to try your Marriage Fitness Program. After participating in the 7-week Tele-Boot Camp, listening to the CDs, doing the recommended exercises etc, we have found it all to be extremely helpful and effective. It was a whole different approach to solving our marital problems and we feel we have made tremendous strides as a result of participating in your wonderful program. Thanks for your help in improving our marriage and for also giving us the valuable tools that were so desperately needed to make it all happen.

"I still have a long road ahead but I look forward to the work, the break through's and hopefully the re-uniting of my husband and myself in marriage, but a healthier marriage"

Dear Mort,

I am writing to you for all of the couples out there that are wondering whether or not this would be beneficial program for them. I found myself wondering the same thing about 8 weeks ago when I read about the Marriage Fitness program. My marriage of 25 years was over, my husband had a 3 week affair and had left the house, our 2 daughters and me. He was unwilling to work on anything and had decided he wanted a divorce. I felt completely out of control, the counseling didn't seemed to be helping. All I could see was everything I thought I new to be true about our marriage was wrong. I didn't know what to do, all I was sure of was I still loved my husband and I didn't want a divorce. I found Mort's program on the Internet and was sure nothing was going to help me or my situation. I joined the Program in the "Lone Ranger Track" meaning I did the program without my husband. I figured I had nothing to lose and everything to gain. I wasn't sure how this stranger was going to help when I couldn't, and I lived with this man for 25 years, WOW, was I surprised!

I listened to the Cd's, read the book, did the homework and followed the guidance that Mort gave us in the weekly Tele-conferences. I wasn't sure if this was going to work, but the amazing thing I started to notice was I no longer was feeling out of control, I found I was calmer, more focused and very excited at the subtle little changes that would periodically occur. At our final question and answer seminar I spoke with Mort to let Mort know that I had a positive yet small break through with my husband. I had invited him out to a movie and he went, then 2 days later he called to talk and later that day he invited me to go for a ride with him. This was so encouraging, the Memorial weekend was coming up and the best news was about to come. My husband and I spent very day together, boating, fishing, just being together!

I still have a long road ahead but I look forward to the work, the break through's and hopefully the re-uniting of my husband and myself in marriage, but a healthier marriage. Thank you Mort for the guidance, the encouragement and all of the support. I hope my story helps re-assure any one who may be doubtful about the program, I would recommend the Mariiage Fitness Program to all!!

Sincerely,

R.L. Michigan

"After a four month separation in different locations, I am now living back at the house with my family"

Mort,

Just wanted to take a minute and thank you for the inspiration and the success on repairing my marriage. After a four month separation in different locations, I am now living back at the house with my family. I would love to say it is peachy and rosy, but the fact of the matter is we have a long way to go. I have you in my corner that can help the forward progression that I believe is most important in the healing process. I was doing the lone ranger track and by the end of the program my wife was not only listening to the teleconferences she was participating in the Q and A. Thanks again.

"I have to say this series has recharged my hope in my relationship. You simply have spelled it out."

For my husband, who has not had the opportunity of seeing, knowing, experiencing, or learning the tools and skills of a positive relationship, you have provided an easy to understand program and "To Do" list. I can't wait for him to get started.

Yes, I got through the series first, and alone. Maybe 'the issues' were my issues, and I cannot ask more of someone else than I am willing to do myself, and do first.

My favorite chapter is "Love is a Verb". It made me think of everyone in my life from our children to co workers and how I interact with them. Am I sending them a clear message of my definition of our relationship? Some should be getting more, some need to be receiving less.

Thank you, and the Mrs., for sharing your wisdom with us.

"All I can say is Thank You, Thank YOU, THANK YOU."

I don't know who gets these emails, but I surly hope someone can express my appreciation to Mort.

Today I got the second email Talk & Touch. I just had to share this. My wife left me 2+ weeks ago. I have been going through hell with the separation. Probably because I was doing all the wrong things!

This evening, I called my wife and we had a conversation. WOW was it wonderful. Just a very simple conversation, yes I slipped a couple of time and told her how much I love and miss her and wanted her to come back home but for the most part we just talked about things.

Because I honestly cannot remember the last time this happened, and I'm sure she cannot either, I'm betting that her jaw was on the floor. I didn't do this to put her jaw on the floor but I think she was shocked.

When I could tell that she was ready to end the conversation, I let her know that I understood and I tried to say goodnight. Rather than just ending it right then and there as she would have before, she took time to explain to me that she didn't rest well last night, the time change affects her in a negative way and she was tired. I told her no problem, good night, sweet dreams and I did slip in another "I Love You!"

All I can say is Thank You, Thank YOU, THANK YOU. I'm learning so much

"This program allowed us to stop and start back at the beginning."

Mort, your marriage fitness program was amazing. It made us aware of what was really important. We were trying to fix things that were draining to us emotionally and you showed us that those things were not the issues. They were the result of what we had forgotten to do. This program allowed us to stop and start back at the beginning. This truly is the way. Everyday is a new day and now we have the neccessary tools to rebuild our marriage and do it the right way this time.

"(Your program) helped us see what was the real problem in our marriage"

Hi Mort,

My Husband and I highly recommend the Marriage Fitness Program to couples having problems in their marriage whether being because of emotional or physical infidelity. My husband was emotionally unfaithful, and when I first found out about it I was devastated. I was very confused and thought this was the end of our marriage after being married for almost twenty five years. I found out about your program and decided that if we were going to try to save our marriage we needed to try out your marriage fitness program. It helped us see what was the real problem in our marriage, and how to handle our problems. We have reconnected in many ways and do not take each other for granted anymore. We both thank God for your help and insight and we wish you the best in helping others with their marital problems.

Regards,
MB

"it was great to see that we still had that sparkle in both of our eyes."

Hey Mort... We just got off the phone for this months Q&A. I wanted to share this with you during the call but seems like a lot more people needed to talk than we did. We have been in your program for over a year and we are doing fantastic. Things don't or didn't happen all at once and things will not stop happening ..This is our way of life now. Here is an example of some things that are happening - Our family was on a trip this past weekend in the mountains (this was a business/pleasure trip mixed) . 2 things happened that I hope I never forget. The first was that we stopped to get a hot beverage (tea and coffee) and before I knew what was happening he was fixing my tea the way I liked it and I was fixing his coffee the way he liked it. We were both thinking of the other person....That was a great feeling... The second thing that happened was that we were talking to one of his co workers ( this is the first time I had met him) and the conversation turned to how long each one of us had been married. We told him almost 15 for us. He said it was great to see that we still had that sparkle in both of our eyes.

Thank you Mort. We appreciate the help you have given us, the support and the knowledge that you are there for us. We are loving this...

"Because of the information you have given …we are both happier in just one short week! "

To: mortfertel@marriagemax.com
Subject: Thank-you/on the road to success

Dr. Mort,

Your site is the only site that appealed to me as far as valuable information. Because of the information you have given…we are both happier in just one short week!

We used to be uninhibited when it came to sex and fulfilling each others desires and pleasuring one another was a real turn on. We talked about how it used to be. We did need to bring some change into our relationship. The change was not just the toys, or the experience. The time we spent together, the plan and discussing our desires for each other and also our marriage came into play.

God Bless You abundantly!

"We now are excited about what our marriage can be if we continue to "do" the work and keep creating love... "

I am more than happy to offer a testimony for the Marriage Fitness Program! In my opinion it is the best marriage course I've heard of or read about. This course was my last ditch effort to stay in my marriage. I've had one foot out the door for the past 2-3 years, but because of two young children, I have been holding out and looking for miracles. My marriage has been a huge disappointment b/c we have developed horrific habits and treat each other badly. In the 7 week course I have seen my husband make huge changes and he says the same about me. We are now at a point where we kind of "like" each other again which is amazing. The course and listening to Mort's phone conferences work so well because he is SO non-judgemental and only looks for solutions. You are expecting to hear "i can't believe your husband does that" or "You realize what you did was wrong,....".... Instead the Marriage Fitness Program deals w/ NOW and w/ moving forward which is something you CAN do... you can't change the past so why make people feel guilty which is what a lot of counselors do.

I am also surprised at how much my husband took to Mort's advice. He can be very difficult, judgemental and close minded... but he got into the course and actually did the assignments. We now are excited about what our marriage can be if we continue to "do" the work and keep creating love... there's a light at the end of the tunnel. We are both committed to better ourselves for our marriage, our self-dignity and our children.

We just went out w/ another couple last weekend and when they started bickering we just said www.marriagemax.com ... then we laughed so hard b/c we know how ridiculous we used to look always bickering ourselves! We've come a long way and have a long way to go but at least we are speaking, connecting and are hopeful. We went from threatening divorce every week to making plans to join a tennis league. We could NOT have done this alone. There was way too much animosity and resistance.

Another huge plus is my kids are more relaxed... they changed as much and as fast as we did. They went from uptight and anxious to happier and more peaceful......AND a girlfriend of mine wants to know what pill I'm on... she said she hasn't seen me this positive (about everything) in 2 years! Needless to say she wrote down the Marriage Fitness website before she left my house! She was very suspicious that I was giving her a website but that it was just a pill I was taking!

To be honest my husband and I only put in about 40% effort and saw HUGE results..(like I said we were almost enemies so it was quite difficult to go from 0 to a 100). now we are excited to keep putting in more and more effort and take our marriage to the highest level possible.

So, thanks Mort for everything you have been a God-send to us and our children...No matter what happens I know I now have the information, skills and concepts to create love in my relationship. My husband and I are at a point where we are not as needy or desparate. We are becoming 2 adults who would like to stay together for the right reasons and aren't willing to settle for a mediocre marriage anymore. We have raised the bar and now both are more aware and accountable for our words and actions. I thought our marriage would just be mediocre at best and now am unwilling to accept that. I'm striving for awesome and won't stop till I get there!

"You walk your talk. You are personally involved."

Dear Mr. Fertel:

Please share with others how you give people, especially in the Lone Ranger Track, the strength and endurance to go on to reconcile their marriages. For the right reasons.

So many people, including therapists and well-meaning friends, have advised me to leave my marriage. I almost feel ridiculed by others in my dedication to my marriage and my spouse. Until I encountered you and your program.

Your principles and convictions to the vision of a better marriage give me hope. For the right reasons. You are helping me learn from this painful experience. When every one else almost "derails" me in my vision to learn the most I can about myself and reconcile my marriage. I feel inspiration and motivation from you to continue in my efforts.

I have to admit your amount of personal dedication is impressive. You provide an abundance of material that requires much effort to assimilate in a relatively short amount of time. But that is in accord with your belief in how hard one should work in their labors of love to protect their marriage.

You walk your talk. You are personally involved. I never imagined I'd have opportunities to actually speak with you. And you provide ongoing follow-up after the initial program.

Yours truly,

Dianne DF

"...we have a changed marital environment in which to do the work and have a bright outlook for a happy future"

Are you thinking about registering for the Marriage Fitness Program? Here's my story.

We had been married for 17 years and our marriage was falling apart. We couldn't get through a conversation without criticism or attack. I heard Mort Fertel on the radio speaking about the principles of Marriage Fitness. After almost a year of traditional marriage counseling and making no improvement in our marriage, we decided to buy his book and try his program. What a difference in just a few short weeks. Then we heard about the Marriage Fitness Program. My husband and I signed up and very much looked forward to each session. Through Mort's guidance, we were able to make considerable progress. The weekly workbooks were especially helpful in helping give us ideas to reconnect and infuse positive energy into our marriage. For me, the program also taught me how my actions and behaviors were sabotaging our relationship. I had always thought that if only my husband changed, our marriage would improve. I now see that no progress could be made until I recognized and made an effort to change my behavior toward my spouse. Mort was always available to answer questions and held us accountable to our own behaviors. Six months ago, I was counting the days until the kids were grown to leave my marriage, I no longer do that. Even though every day is not perfect, I can now see a hopeful future with my husband. We still have alot of work to do, but we have a changed marital environment in which to do the work and have a bright outlook for a happy future.

"Within hours, I obtained many insights into my contribution to our marital dilemma that were based on my past attitudes"

Hi Mort ,

I participated in the Lone Ranger Track. Within hours, I obtained many insights into my contribution to our marital dilemma that were based on my past attitudes. I instituted changes to my outlook and behaviour that have improved our relationship, but have more importantly resulted in more self-discovery and self-improvement. My sense of purpose is much stronger, as is my understanding of our situation. I highly recommend full participation in the Boot Camp for anyone!

Thx

"...your approach provides a specific path to healing the relationship in a respectful and measured way"

Mort,

Your program is the most constructive and poignant course for Marriage and personal development I have ever seen. After considerable time and research including reading or attending counseling from well respected names such as John Gottman, Gary Chapman, David Wood, and others, your approach is simply the best… your approach provides a specific path to healing the relationship in a respectful and measured way and, perhaps most importantly, gives hope that reconciliation is possible. I know the personal growth and understanding I have achieved could not have been done without your course.

Thank you.

"I see changes in him on a daily basis. I feel as though we are more connected than ever..."

Dear Mort,

I have learned so much from your program that I consider you my Life Coach after God! I listen to your CDs on a daily basis in attempts to memorize every strategy. Your philosophies have helped me at many levels. I feel as though I have a more thorough understanding of the psychology behind all interpersonal relationships. My husband has not participated in the program but I see changes in him on a daily basis. I feel as though we are more connected than ever, even though we have many of the same challenges. I am not worried anymore, though. I know we will get to that place that we both want to be one day.

Sincere thanks for helping God save our lives…..

"My husband and I are now seeing each other three times a week and talking to each other daily. "

I would certainly recommend this program to others. My husband moved out of our home 3 days prior to our 8th wedding anniversary. Even though I went through the lone ranger Marriage Fitness program, my husband and I are now seeing each other three times a week and talking to each other daily. Using a slow and steady pace I am implementing new behaviours that are demonstrating to my husband commitment, sincerity and consistency. I am taking this day by day. It is hard but this program has helped me …
This support has been invaluable!
Thank you

"I feel secure in my marriage, and my husband says he's never been happier"

Please cancel my subscription to the plugged in program. It's just amazing that I can no longer relate to the callers! Results from implementing the Marriage Fitness instructions got us living together again, and the continuation program kept me going during trying times. I feel secure in my marriage, and my husband says he's never been happier. Marriage Fitness is effective. Mort Fertel is a genius. Thank you, Mort!

"Life lessons I plan to never forget"

Mort -

My husband and I have been married for 13 years. I became resentful, had high expectations, we stopped communicating, we stopped putting forth extra effort in our marriage. We tried to be friends, we tried to be content, we tried to have more...but never were in sync and one day...he decided to move out, it was a shock, I was hurt. And then I found your program online. I signed up for your free marriage counseling emails. The day he moved out, I signed up for your tele-boot camp. Your program is so thorough. Each step is outlined and every question is answered. Reading, listening, completing the workbook and calling in re-energized me. Each step seemed to keep me going and as much as I doubted pushing that flywheel....you were right....fast is slow and slow is fast. I have your quotes tacked up in my house, in my calendar, on the fridg, in the car, as reminders.

I am in the lone ranger track and have seen a tremendous change …t hat change has calmed me, my children, my other relationships and most importantly my connection with my husband. You are so right that one person can transform a marriage …we have learned to enjoy each others company again. I am confident that the lessons I have learned, the process of keeping our connection new and exciting.

I want to thank you for helping me with my marriage .. . These are life lessons I plan to never forget.

Thank you.

"She made her choice, and because of Marriage Fitness Program, she chose me! "

Hi Mort,

I just wanted to let you know that my wife has made a complete turn around and is starting to not only work on our marriage but really make some amazing changes.

Thank you for all your help and insight. If it was not for you helping me through this and teaching me how to be the husband that me wife deserves then I may have never been able to bring her back to this marriage and our family. She made her choice, and because of Marriage Fitness Program, she chose me!

Keep up the good work and keep saving marriages.

Thanks again.

"We learned to put love first and to make our spouse and our marriage our highest priority. "

Dear Mort,

Today makes one month that my wife has been home after three months of separation. Thank you so much for your coaching and the Marriage Fitness Program. Not only did it change our marriage,it changed our entire way of life. After two affairs and an emotional affair, I thought I had lost my wife forever, but thanks be unto God, we "found" Mort Fertel. Just as when one becomes a new creature in Christ, old things pass away and all things become new; such was the case when we completed the Marriage Fitness Program. Our old habits, fears, insecurities, and the manner in which we treated each ther passed away; All things became NEW ! We learned to put love first and to make our spouse and our marriage our highest priority. We strongly urge anyone needing help in any way with their marriage to enroll in the Marriage Fitness Program.

It will change your life forever. It did ours!

Forever grateful,Mort

R.M. & D.M.

"He gave the best advice I have ever heard about marriage problems"

Mr. Fertel ,

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's help) but here goes:

If the term “obstinate spouse” were in the dictionary then my husband's picture would take up the whole page!!

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'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. 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.

So, during one of my many nights with insomnia, I Googled marriage counselling and Mort Fertel's name came up. I read through the whole site. And I couldn'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't any question or problem that wasn't covered in the materials.

He gave the best advice I have ever heard about marriage problems . It's been three full months. And guess what? My husband has started joking with me again! I don't remember how long it'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).

Hope is a wonderful thing; it's worth all the hard work to rebuild a successful and loving marriage.

"The program is simple but brilliant."

I just finished up with the teleboot camp and I have to say it works. I was in the lone ranger track yet my actions definitely impacted my spouse and of course our marriage. My spouse has severe unresolved issues from the past, but once Mort taught me to temporarily put that aside, I got to see the good side in my man once again. It takes real personal work but it's well worth it. The program is simple but brilliant. If you don't end up changing your marital situation, you still would've changed yourself - and that's the best success!!

thanx Mort

"I am moving forward to a happier, healthier marriage one small step at a time."

Before I registered for your program, my husband and I were thinking of divorce especially I was. I had planned to at least separate for one year first and break off slowly because I have been a house wife for 26 years and I need to reestablish my ability to earn money. ..

The first week that I was listening to

your teleconference, I got it. I have

been doing small things that you

suggested. ..Ever since that time he is

no longer fighting to me. We are not

intimate yet but civil and respect one

another. The dynamic has changed to a

positive one. He recently gives me my

50th b'day present. .. I am making

myself stronger everyday and trying to

make our marriage stronger a little at a time. Thanks to your message and help of many of my friends and my church I am moving forward to a happier, healthier marriage one small step at a time. One day I called him to come home to eat lunch and he came. Before that time he would say he is too busy no matter what I cooked for him. I was so glad he come home and eats. He seems to stay home a lot longer than before. We do a lot of small talk.

Thanks to your program. I am grateful

that I sighed up, all your advice works.

Sometime one person can make a

different. I can see my future because I got the right tools that work on my belt and support from my family, and my church and your techniques.

I am ready to face our marriage toward

happier for all of us. I am ready to

fight for our lives for the rest of my

life to stay strong, for us as a unity.

Please do not use my name but you can

use my initial. Thanks again.

"He came home wearing his wedding ring again, said he didnt want a divorce"

Dear Mr. Fertel,

…My husband of 12years had renewed a "friendship" with a college friend(a girl) back in December. This quickly went from a facebook contact, to continuous calls and text, emails, to a planned visit back to his hometown to visit her and his highschool buddies. He asked for a divorce on March 3rd stating that he just didnt want to be married anymore, and that he probably did want to date other people. I knew exactly who he wanted to date(he had a crush on this girl back in college and now she wanted to be more than friends since her recent divorce). I was devastated and at first became clingy, and smothering. Then I started your advice…Well, he went on his trip on the 6th of April. He arrived there about 530pm and immediately went to her house, took her to dinner and visited with her(he called me for about 1 minute to tell me he had arrived safely). The next day he hung out with friends until about 11pm(he called me at 1030pm to tell me how his night had been and sounded so excited and happy). He talked for about 3 minutes that time…At 0300am I recieved a call from him. He wanted to tell me that he had gone to his friends house after hanging with his friends. He said that it felt so wrong being there with her and that he just had to leave. He wanted me to know that he loved me, wished he was home with me and he missed me. He stopped being in contact with her the next morning, called me and texted constantly over the next 6 days. He came home wearing his wedding ring again, said he didnt want a divorce,didnt want an open marriage, didnt want to be with anyone but me, and wanted me to have a new wedding ring. I wanted to let you know that your advice worked and I want to thank you for giving me the strength to save my marriage and the instructions on how to save a marriage. I thought you would like to know you saved another marriage. Thanks again.

"I'm more successful in all areas of my life because of Mort's marriage Fitness program"

To all who are considering the Marriage Fitness program, do it. There is nothing more important in life than to have a successful marriage but there's been no guide to proactively do it. No "before-you-buy-into-it" program that can help you in advance. And until Mort Fortel, no comprehensive "after-market" program either. To be honest, his program should be modified and then purchased for all pre-nuptial preparation classes. A raw, honest owners manual for future couples. You're porbably reading this because your marriage is in trouble. Mort's program taught me that I could change, and gave me concrete ways to do it. I knew that no matter what became of my marriage, I would become a better me, not a different person , a better me.

I was able to implement change immediately. I was ACOA, ADD and a terribly innattentive husband. I was able to discover things about myself, through serious self-reflection that enbaled me to discover that ACOA can be overcome and the ADD was a misdiagnosis. I was depressed and feeling lost for years, not knowing how to turn my marriage around. I learned, from Mort's non-judgemental truth, not that I needed to change, I already knew that, I learned that I COULD IN FACT CHANGE, and he offered easy and concrete ways to do so.

I'm self-confident in ways I never was before. I know a better me today, I'm more successful in all areas of my life because of Mort's marriage Fitness program. For me, it's been more of a "Person Fitness Program". IF your spouse doesn't want you at the end of the program, somebody will, because you will have learned all of the skills that make you someone anyone would love to spend more time around.

Thanks Mort.

Sincerely,

Michael C

" By listening and applying the marriage fitness program, we were able to start working on re-connecting … "

Dear Mr. Fertel,

Words cannot express my gratitude I have for your help and the Marriage Fitness program. Less then 6 months ago my wife was ready to ask for a separation and we probably were headed for divorce after 30 years of marriage. I heard the: "I need my space" and "I love you but I am not in love with you".I am not saying we are completely out of the woods yet, but we are now on the right trail to repair and in time create a more loving marriage then we ever had before.

Prior to getting the free emails and then the course I was doing all of the wrong things, the begging, pleading, trying to be right and justifying my actions and condemning hers. Our "problems" were both our faults and though neither one of us wanted to first admit it we came to that realization in phase 2 of the workbook. … By listening and applying the marriage fitness program, we were able to start working on re-connecting …

This is not a quick fix or easy program. It requires time and effort and makes you look at yourself as much as what you think your problems are. I found the reflection I seen in the mirror was not a happy one so how could my wife. By reading, listening and doing the exercises in the workbook I was able to change that reflection and it has become evident to my wife and we have been working more on rebuilding our marriage then tearing it apart. That reflection is starting to look happy and enjoyment has returned to the time we spend together rather then tolerance.

Thank you Mr. Fertel, you have no idea the desperation I was in when I found your program, it truly has made a difference in both my life and our marriage.

Warm Regards

"If anyone wants to turn their marriage around and make it work, this is the program to take"

Mort,

I would like to thank you for creating the Marriage Fitness Progam, I did the Lone Ranger in February and before starting I was skeptical as to how much this program would help my marriage. As I went through the program I realized that my way of behaving had a lot to do with the deterioration of my marriage.

I started listening to the CD's and once I started doing the exercises is when I realized that changes needed to be made.

If anyone wants to turn their marriage around and make it work, this is the program to take, it really does help you see what you need to fix in yourself and teaches you how to approach your spouse in a loving way.

Thank you for giving me the tools to see what a great marriage I could have.

"He said he WANTS TO DATE ME AGAIN!"

I just want to start off by thanking Mort for all of his help! Thank you is not even enough, how do you thank someone for changing your life?! I don't know what I would have done if I didn't find his web site. He is amazing and has a talent for working with you and being caring about what he does. His tips and advice are not that hard to follow, it actually has made me a happier and a more positive person. Knowing he has been where we all are makes it easy to trust in him and his program.

A little background about my situation: We have both been married before, each of our spouses cheated on us and made it hard for us to trust others in relationships. Even though we have gone through that and so much more, we still have so much trust and love for each other. We both have children, mostly grown. (He also had a child with his ex-wife that died a month after he was born). He has three children, I have one. About a year after we met … we started to have some problems and couldn't get over them, or didn't know how to 'fix' them… always had a hard time understanding each other or learning to fight in the 'right way', our biggest problem being the silent treatment.

I just finished the boot camp and was on the lone ranger track. There are a couple of CD's that actually brought me to tears because they fit my situation SO wel l… He started dating awhile ago and told me later on after one of our trips together, that he was 'seeing someone'. I cried for three days … Over the years we started to take each other for granted. I had an epiphany before I ordered Mort's program, my life passed before my eyes and I realized that he was the most important person in my life. I prayed for help (This I don't do often at all), but the next day I found Mort Fertel online. After being in his program and implementing the steps I needed to, he is now not seeing this other person! ... He said he WANTS TO DATE ME AGAIN! I loved hearing this, we are going out more often now and talking more, I think things are on the right track to being together again, maybe more. I just hope that down the road I can go through the workbook and CD's again...this time with our new found relationship. I've also learned to be more positive and act on those feelings.

Thank you Adina for being patient and answering all of my emails. I appreciate your help!

Thank you Mort for renewing the relationship that I knew, but didn't realize that I wanted!

Mort,

I would say with all honesty that your product is great. It's easy to use, very down to earth, and a great tool that you can use anytime even if times aren't bad. My wife and I went through Counseling and it was thousands of dollars. Marriage is the most important agreement you will ever have in your life, and Mort's program shows you how to treat it that way even if you don't feel like i t s ometimes. I would recommend his product to anyone in crisis or just wanting to enhance their Marriage.

I joined the program as the lone ranger about 8 weeks ago. My husband was very firm about moving out and filing for divorce without giving me much of specific reasons. In my sorrow and desperation, I contacted Mort and joined the Marriage Fitness Program.

What did I get out of the program?

Real hope to my family: My husband changed his moving out plan and joined me on the coaching session with Mort.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your extraordinary impact on my life and my family's life.

"Your inspiration with the material provided has been a serious God send to both of us."

Hi Mort,

I'm happy to give you a testimonial because this has been a life-changing experience for me. Before taking your course our marriage was over. I have been married four times and really wanted this to work, but the light at the end of the tunnel had long since gone out. We decided that we were done and divorce was the only answer. Then my husband came across your program and signed up without telling me. He then started talking about the program and got one of your CD's that I listened to half-heartedly. When the program began I listened to your firs t s eminar and was so blown away by what I was hearing. I couldn't believe all the things that I could relate to and how they were being depicted. We had spent thousand of dollars on counseling, working out nothing through each session. Only to leave angrier and angrier. But at the end of your seven weeks, I have never loved my husband more and know that we are going to work through these things and stay on the track that we were always meant to be on. I know that we will continue to work at keeping our relationship fresh because we are worth it. Your inspiration with the material provided has been a serious God send to both of us. I thank you profusely for having the desire to help those that can' t s eem to help themselves and will continue to reference your materials in order to keep our relationship in tune as we grow together. I can' t say thank you enough!

"It was well worth the money and the time and effort. We've never had a relationship this good, even in the beginning. "

Mort,

John and I are more than happy to give our testimony and I would recommend your program to anyone having relationship difficulties.

We've been married 30 years and have 4 children. All of them are on their own now, but our marriage has been going downhill for at least that last 25 years. Your program has made us feel like newlyweds again! Neither of us have been this happy. And with the knowledge that we have gained through the years, applying your techniques and following your program, we are probably more happy than we were even when we first got married. We make love several times a day (not sure if that is TMI), and it's good, and we enjoy doing things together that we never did before. It's even difficult to be around others because we don't want to miss a second apart.

We've been going fairly slow in the workbook, but we are getting things done! Counseling would have cost us so much more money and a divorce (which was imminent the day we ordered your program). It was well worth the money and the time and effort. We've never had a relationship this good, even in the beginning.

All I can do is say thank you and your wife for the insight and ideas you have given us.

Blessed Be,
Linda A.

" Everything you have said and sent me hits a core truth to me. I am astounded by its clarity. "

I have got to say that I must be ready for the principles that your program is built upon, because your program "appeared" to me over the internet when I was looking for some marital relationship guidance. Everything you have said and sent me hits a core truth to me. I am astounded by its clarity.

I think between the CD's from the 7 weeks worth of teleconferences and Q&A sessions, we can find our way to a "put Love first" marriage, with time and consistent effort on our parts. I know I am willing to "do" what it takes to create this environment in our relationship.

Thank you for your principles and teaching.

"The 7 week fitness program changed...my perspective on how I could better my marriage and myself. "

Mort,

Your Marriage Fitness program gave me a new perspective for my failing marriage. I registered as a last ditch effort to save my marriage. My husband wanted a divorce. I was out of hope, out of ideas, and searching for a way change my situation. I registered for the lone ranger track, which in the beginning even brought heartache. There I was wanting to save my marriage and my husband could care less. I wondered how a marriage could be saved when only one partner was unwilling to participate. The 7 week fitness program changed not only that thought, but my perspective on how I could better my marriage and myself. I have become a better wife and I can even say that my marriage is no longer failing. There is laughter, love, jokes, and time spent together again. My thoughts and my actions have changed my marriage's momentum, and I would encourage any couple to participate in the program. Mort has valuable insights, and proven methods to restore love in a marriage.

"Mort had given me the tools to stay connected."

Hi Mort

Here is what my wife, Delores, wrote in a notebook after our last teleconference with you. I thought you'd like to read it. Ralph

As I listened to the final teleconference I cried uncontrollably. I had the same feeling at age nine when I left the courthouse when my father and mother divorced. As I clasped my mothers hand I knew I would not be able to stay connected to my father in the way I wanted to; which proved to be true. I never saw him again for 20 years. I spent 53 years of my life trying to connect to someone. For the first time someone had told me how I could connect. Mort had given me the tools to stay connected. If I would have let my spouse know how bad I needed to connect with him instead of shaming, belittling, and attacking his character, I am sure he would have turned around and connected with me years ago. Thanks so much Mort. You did in 7 short weeks what no one else could do in 53 years. Delores

"my husband finally opened his heart to me and told me what went wrong in our marriage"

Mort:

I am a Lone Ranger Track. My husband has an emotional affair with another woman. When I was told by my husband about his affair, I was so shocked. I found Marriage Fitness from internet and signed in January. After attending the live seminars and Q-A conferences, all of sudden, I found out there are lots of small things that I never pay attention to that have done big damage on my marriage. I tried the ways you taught in the seminars, after my weeks' efforts and when I almost gave up, my husband finally opened his heart to me and told me what went wrong in our marriage and what lead him to seek comfort from outside of marriage.

Thanks you for everything. Now there is hope.

"[Marrige Fitness] really has made me see things more clearly than ever before. "

Dear Mort,

I would like to tell you how helpful your program was for me.

I was in the lone ranger track. My husband said he didn't love me or feel an emotional connection with me. He also said divorce would be our only option.

I sought therapy, read your book, and joined the Marriage Fitness Program. You gave me advice that I sometimes didn't want to follow, but I did it anyway because I made a commitment to follow the program. I went from being a hysterical, scared woman, whose husband was having a year long affair to a confident wife whose husband has asked for a new beginning.

I would recommend this program to anyone. It really has made me see things more clearly than ever before. I am so grateful. Thank you and keep working with people like us!

"It truly has changed my life!"

Dear Mort,

I write you this letter the day before our 25th wedding anniversary. Three months ago I would have thought we would surely have been in the process of a divorce on this day. On December 29 after receiving your emails for over two months, I finally decided that I would enroll in the boot camp on the Lone Ranger Track. It truly has changed my life! I have found that my husband responds even though he is reluctant to the thought of renewing our marriage. I have completed the boot camp and look forward to the continuing support through the Plugged-In program. Showing patience that I didn't know I had, I am hopeful that we will celebrate many anniversaries to come. Thank you!

Sincerely,

Amy

"It is clear to me that men and women will always think differently from each other, but in spite of that, we seemed to be able to take the ideas presented in the program and improve our relationship."

When we signed up for the Marriage Fitness Program, our relationship was not going well. I lacked trust in my partner and optimism about the future. He, uncharacteristically, agreed to do this program with me with the hope of turning things around. I honestly can' t say how much our improvement is due to the content of the Marriage Fitness Program, how much is due to us simply going through the process together, to the exercises or simply the change from focusing on our problems to focusing on strengths and improving those. It is clear to me that men and women will always think differently from each other, but in spite of that, we seemed to be able to take the ideas presented in the program and improve our relationship. It isn't perfect, but it is so much better. It is kind of amazing to me how great it feels to do positive things for each other, and how that morphs into greater richness in the relationship. Its like DAH, but it really does work so simply. I'm very glad we did it. Thanks, Mort!

"Practicing “marriage fitness” is a way of life for us now. We are very optimistic about our future together"

Dear Mort,

It is hard to find the words to describe the impact that you and the Marriage Fitness Program had on our marriage. Our marriage was on its last breath. We hadn't talked, wanted to touch or felt close in years. But the Marriage Fitness Program turned our marriage around. It breathed life into our relationship. It saved our marriage!

You helped me see that there was hope when things seemed hopeless. I can honestly say I do not know where Don and I would be today without your help.

Practicing “marriage fitness” is a way of life for us now. We are very optimistic about our future together. Thanks so much for giving us the tools we need to make our marriage and lives happier than we could ever imagine.

Sincerely,

Laurie S.

"We are making progress."

Dear Mort,

We're only in the 3 rd week of your Marriage Fitness Program and I already have exciting news to share with you. See the email below that my husband sent me. He hasn't sent anything nice like this in a very long time. Thank you Mort.

"With Marriage Fitness, it helped us understand what we needed to do to make our relationship work"

We ordered Marriage Fitness, even though we are not married yet, because we have been in our relationship for 3 ½ years and were unsure if we wanted to be with each other or not. We figured love was just supposed to be there for us. With Marriage Fitness, it helped us understand what we needed to do to make our relationship work. All of the ideas we have learned and all of the stories we have heard, brought us closer together. We are very excited what tomorrow will bring. We vowed to each other to use this all of the time . This was well worth the time and effort. We communicate in a much more positive way. This program has opened up our eyes on how important we are to one another. Without Marriage Fitness, we would both be single today. Thanks Mort!!

"This program saved my marriage. Without it, I had no idea what to do or how to start turning my marriage around."

My husband told me he wanted a divorce. He basically blurted it out one night, then started sleeping in the guest room. I was completely shocked and surprised. He wanted to separate right away-- I didn't understand the urgency, why the push to leave "all the sudden" when we'd been married for 12 years. He said he felt no urgency, that he'd been thinking about it for months, even years. He said he had no feelings for me anymore and was just "done". The problem was, he kept it all inside. He didn't share his thoughts and feelings with me .

Completely devastated, I started searching for answers, fixes, anything to put my marriage back together. I found Mort Fertel's marriage fitness website. I showed it to my husband. He said it all sounded like some marketing scheme and he wasn't interested in "fixing" anything. So, I signed up anyway-- for the Lone Ranger track.

The day I received my kit in the mail, my husband was talking about actually filing for divorce. I began implementing the techniques immediately.

After being in the program two weeks, he stopped talking about the separation. He was being nice back. After four weeks, he agreed not to file, and to try to work things out. But he refused to do the Marriage Fitness thing and he was against counseling. He said he was going to read a couple books on marriage that his mom gave him. By the sixth week he told me he wanted to stay married to me, but wasn't ready to be intimate or move back into our bedroom.

We're getting to know each other again... slowly. We're building a friendship that perhaps wasn't there in the beginning. He thinks we got married too young, too fast. This program saved my marriage. Without it, I had no idea what to do or how to start turning my marriage around.

Thank you Mort. Thank you.

"Honestly, I never would have believed it myself. I thought for sure by now my marriage would be over."

I found you exactly how you said I might, scanning the internet for help. I needed a focus because I was drowning in the pain of what I thought was the inevitable. You helped me see a new vision of what I wanted in my marriage. Within 2 weeks of starting your program, my husband said he wasn't sure about a divorce and he wasn't sure about what he was doing. I hung in there, just as you said and things are on a positive track now. Honestly, I never would have believed it myself. I thought for sure by now my marriage would be over.

My next vision is to complete the program again, this time with my husband. Thank you Mort, for everything! I still love getting your inspirational emails and hope to see you in a workshop in person someday. Your perspective and program are right on; putting love first makes all the difference.

"I believe implementing those practices truly saved our marriage."

Mort,

I really can't thank you enough for the wisdom, support and guidance your program provided us.

It's been a whirlwind of a year starting horribly and ending on a definite up-swing. We continue to practice the principles you set forth in M arriage Fitness and taught us in the Marriage Fitness Program and I believe implementing those practices truly saved our marriage.

Keep up the excellent work!

"You were able to accomplish in 1 1/2 hrs what 3 marriage counselors failed to do in 2 years"

Dear Mort,

We just wanted to say thanks for doing what you do. My wife and I have been together for 7 years, spent the past 4 years in constant turmoil, and the past 2 years with 3 different marriage counselors. We have spent literally thousands of dollars trying to get a grip on our relationship, only to watch it plummet faster.

I found your website after a tremendous argument during which she and I both agreed that it was over and we were wasting our time. I have been married twice and she has been married 4 times, so failed relationships are nothing new to us. Somehow, practice doesn't make it any easier.

You were able to accomplish in 1 1/2 hrs what 3 marriage counselors failed to do in 2 years. Your assessments made us realize that maybe it wasn't ALL "their" fault after all, and your straight-forward but gentle approach in the tele-conferences lit the path to a recovery that we didn't think was possible.

There is no way that we can begin to express to you all that you have done for us, so we will only tell you "thank you". We will continue to tell friends and family in relationship trouble about your programs.

"This program is brain food for the sole. You will find this information no where else"

Dear Mort Fertel and Marriage Max,

I joined the Marriage Max program a little over two months ago with huge apprehension. The cost seemed very high compared to other web sites cost and my situation seemed hopeless at best. Realizing the Steven Covey Principles were integrated through your teachings got my attention quickly. Steven is a hero of mine. As convincing as that was, it was your own battles you, our teacher, actually went through yourself. That made is personable for me. I first learned that Mort Fertel is an extrodianary man, intelligent, thoughtful and wise. But it is the presense of YOU, the student that makes or brakes your success. Mort gives you work to do, but it is work you WANT to do and have to do…I've learned to love in an action sense, not as a noun. My personal integrity has improved, my work performance went to a new level. My character is still being developed and always will, but I now have the tools to know how. I also have learned that love is a process, not just something that happens, Rather, it's something that you DO. My long term happiness is on the rise because my new found wisdom has been sewn into my fabric of life. I won't take things for granted, I'll have a better marriage, relationship with my kids, my family and my work. There is not one single thing about this program that you don't need. This program is brain food for the sole. You will find this information no where else. One word of warning. If you really don't want to change yourself and your relationships, this is not for you.

"You helped to put laughter back into our lives, You helped us to analyze our own faults and be responsible for them & you helped us to begin to trust each other again even after we had reason to never trust again."

Dear Mort,

Thank you so much for all you've done over the past 7 weeks by investing your time, personal energy & creative talents into our marriage. You not only helped save our marriage, but you showed us what we were missing in our lives to make our marriage incredible! We know now what it takes to make it work and have realized, it's actually fun & exciting to behave in this alternative manner! We thank god for leading us to your website & connecting us with you. You are truly blessed with an awesome talent!

7 weeks ago my husband and I were through . We had a huge fight in the car in the M cDonald's parking lot as we were waiting in the drive thru to have our order taken. Being that there have been many more arguments and close calls to our marriage that have built over the 19 years we've been together, he screamed at me in a manner I've never seen in him before, got out of the car, and told me he had had enough! He exclaimed we're through, that he was DONE! And he slammed the door in my face.

With the baby in the back seat and me left in the drive thru, i pulled out of line and to the side of the parking lot and just cried as he started walking up the thru-way away from me. After finally getting in the car so I could take him to work, We both talked and cried all the way there (30 min) of how I was wrong, he was wrong, still making each other extremely mad. Hours went by, no phone calls, no emails. As I waited for his call, email, text message, whatever...I researched marriage counseling online and found your website. Finally I gave in and I emailed him at work and I told him about you & sent him the link to your site. I told him I loved him and that I didn't want to end our marriage, no matter how mad we we're and explained that I wanted to give it once last shot. He Instant messaged me on the computer and told me to hold on, he'd check out the website. He came back and said. He didn't want to spend the money, we didn't have it! We made the decision that WE WE'RE WORTH IT!, Plus you're money back guarantee helped to instill in him that if he didn't think it was working, we had nothing to lose. So he messaged me back and said "Fine. Sign us up."

Within 1 week we had had the most incredible connection. Something I swear we hadn't felt in over 10 years!.....The 2nd week had even more great ideas. Neither of us was wrong, come to find out! We we're BOTH just not meeting each other's needs. I honestly didn't think I was part of the problem, however, This program helped me realize that not only did my husband have a problem that was believe it or not "somewhat easy" to get started to correct but I too had things that we're sabotaging our marriage. We both put forth the effort 110% because you made it fun and non-threatening, no one was getting blamed, there was no finger pointing! No matter how wrong one of us was about any particular marital issue, we we're made to take responsibility for ourselves ! You helped to put laughter back into our lives, You helped us to analyze our own faults and be responsible for them & you helped us to begin to trust each other again even after we had reason to never trust again. I couldn't believe how helpful you could be in the 10 minute laser coaching sessions! Those 10 minutes each week were a new way to rejuvenate last minute problems, you may not have covered yet & I couldn't believe how much you put behind each persons questions & concerns on the Q&A, you made everyone's questions have answers that would benefit all of us! I felt like every single teleconference was catered for us like you had hidden camera's within our household all week and then tailored the teleconference for us. It covered EVERYTHING!.....God has given you such an incredible talent. You have no idea, how thankful we are that he created you!

Thanks,

"it helped me to get beyond this mountain of hurt."

Hi Mort,

I was involved in your Marriage Fitness Program a few months ago. I was in the lone ranger track. At the time I joined I thought, "What am I doing. This is crazy! Now I am joining a bunch of strangers on some online thing!" But I was searching for answers. I was in individual therapy, I was buying books, and my husband and I were separated with no communication and lack of any motivation on either side. I was devastated and had no where to turn. I really felt we were on our way to a divorce. My husband moved out, he was having an affair, and our life was spiraling out of control.

Anyway, after being in your program for almost 7 weeks, you and I had a 10 minute phone conversation and you said something that really helped me break my wall. You said that you had pegged me as someone who was a very capable business person, strong personality, but very hurt and confused. When one has a capable and strong personality they are really thrown for a loop because they are usually in control and now they are so out of control that they can't understand anything that is going on because it makes no sense to them. You said to me, "Nancy, you're RIGHT, your husband has done a horrible thing, something he should not have ever done, he is not communicating with you, you don't know what is going on with him, but are YOU going to be RIGHT and live the rest of your life on your own with your family broken up or are YOU going to do the RIGHT THING and try to save your marriage and your family?"

I think I actually laughed for the first time, believe it or not, but I was so hurt and lonely and confused and you reached through the phone to give me a swift kick in the rear! Here I wanted hugs and sympathy but you knew at that time to shake me up and get to the core of what I needed to do.

I finally realized that I had to find a way to get over the pain and the hurt and the betrayal such an act does to your soul and find someplace to start to heal myself and my family. I was ready at that moment to give it one more try and to really and truly start using some of your methods.

Long story short, after 6 months of separation, little or no communication and being ready to finally file for divorce, my husband and I are back together, he is living at home once again and he seems truly remorseful and is starting to change himself. I see a different look in his eyes that was not there before and a willingness to try on his part. I am now in great hopes that we can save our marriage and our family.

I know you read hundreds of emails a day, and you may not read this one, but thats OK, I just wanted to take a moment and thank you for your program and your persistence. Just know that it helped me to get beyond this mountain of hurt.

Thank you.

Best wishes,
Nancy A.

"I have hope and your program has given me the information and motivation to be patient. It is working."

Mort,

Although I am using guidance and assistance from several sources to work on changing myself and to attempt to establish a great marriage, your philosophy and program has been extremely helpful and important in my efforts.

After the last 27 years of a progressively dying relationship, I nearly finished its destruction in trying to change Mary and using problem solving counseling over the past 4 years. Your program provided critical information and advice.

Prior to your program, I had great intent in my past efforts but ultimately ended up reacting to Mary's negativity and my intent and efforts ended in failure. Your program provides detailed action steps.

Mary separated, filed for divorce including consent to divorce and for months was completely adverse to any contact except for the briefest phone discussions limited to logistics matters as to our daughter. As bleak as that picture is, due mainly to steps that I have been able to implement from your program, we have begun regular talking and sharing times and these beginnings have allowed us to have some pleasant experiences together again.

Although Mary is still very volatile and hostile at times, insight from your program allows me to recognize and accept that as a natural result of the harm I caused in misguided/unguided prior renewal efforts. I have hope and your program has given me the information and motivation to be patient. It is working.

I only regret that I did not know of your program far sooner. It almost certainly would have prevented the worst errors in my prior renew marriage efforts that now are greatly delaying the great marriage. Seeing where things are now compared to where they started, however, I am confident that our marriage will survive and become great.

Thank you for undertaking this calling and recognizing the need for a new approach for marriage renewal. I am humbled in hearing and realizing how troubled so many other marriages are. I do not know how you can bear dealing with the pain of so many desperate and wounded souls but I am grateful that you do.

"This program is life changing and I am so happy to have been able to participate."

Hi Mort,

I just wanted to give you some feedback on how this program has worked for me.

I did the lone ranger track of the boot camp as my husband and I are separated. It has been amazing for me. My husband is having an affair and I was just so hurt and betrayed by it all. Until I started this program I was depressed (and that resulted in my spouse being depressed) all the time and really hating life. I didn't think there could ever be any way to fix my marriage ever. One night after a fight with my husband I did a search on the internet for online marriage counseling. I came across the Marriage Fitness website. I signed up immediately. What did I have to lose since there was a money back guarantee. After the first week I started to feel better. As I went through the program my relationship with my husband has changed also. We are learning to communicate better and slowly falling back in love again. I have learned so much from this program and I feel I am finally fixing myself and becoming the person I used to be … This program is life changing and I am so happy to have been able to participate. I complete the entire program and even signed up for the Plugged In (continuation) program. It has been so worthwhile. Thank you Mort!!!!

Sincerely,

Joy W.

"In just seven weeks my focus changed to be more positive, loving and self-aware."

Dear Mort,

I feel the Marriage Fitness Program was exactly the support I needed to start up
what I learned by reading Marriage Fitness.

Your motivating seminars were full of inspiration and guidance, they gave us the knowledge and skills we needed to turn our marriage around in the right direction.

In just seven weeks my focus changed to be more positive, loving and self-aware. The results exceeded my expectations; I now look forward to my marriage growing stronger.

I know the journey is just beginning but I have the Marriage Fitness Program and your dedication to thank for getting our marriage this far, the rest is up to us.

Sincerely,

"It breaks down the barriers too remind you "why & how" you fell in love with each other in the first place"

Not only was the program absolutely worth while, it was fun to do !
It breaks down the barriers too remind you "why & how" you fell in love with each other in the first place, and shows you how to recapture those momnets and feelings, and most importantly, to take it forward.

"I found the marriage fitness program gave us the support we needed"

Dear Mort

When my wife started to read Marriage Fitness it was sort of in disguise
and then opened up to me what she was reading and linked me to your website
and the marriage fitness program and what I thought. After briefly looking over I
was interested in trying it out.

I thought the weekly seminars were informative and motivating and the
post reports the following day were a good recap or review for those who
need a second chance.

The homework assignments were really good for the reason that it got you
to read and use the book in many different ways and forced us to really work
out our differences right from week one.

I found the marriage fitness program gave us the support we needed, the Q & A sessions
helped people open up and direct you in the right way to a positive way. But
that is just the beginning and their is alot more work ahead of us , with
all your help and support.

thank you for putting our marriage in the right direction and its nice to
know you are their for some support if needed

Thank you

"I truly believe that I have won back my marriage. "

Dear Mort,

I am writing to say thank you.

Long story short, I was convinced (basically on "my gut feelings") that my husband was having at least an emotional affair with an ex girlfriend. I never tried to kid myself; I knew that we had problems in the marriage, and that I was at least partly to blame. But because my husband "turned outside of the marriage” instead of “inside" seeking "emotional support" the distance between us was growing by the minute. But thanks to your advice, our marriage is stronger than ever before. He has "come clean" and told me the truth (enough of the truth anyway).

At my request, he ha s c alled the "girlfriend" (with me on the other end of the phone), and explained to her that in order to make his marriage work, he will no longer be able to talk to or see her.

So, in closing, thanks to your wonderful advice my marriage is not only going to survive, we are stronger because of what we have gone through, and I truly believe that I have won back my marriage.

Thank you so very much for helping me get through this very trying time, and allowing me to learn how to save my marriage, and keep the love of my life, in my life.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

"Mort's program has helped me gain strength, understanding, wisdom, and most of all renewed hope. "

I found Mort's program 8 months after learning my husband was having an affair.

We had been married 22 years with 2 beautiful children and what I thought was a happy marriage. I was evidently wrong.

I began counseling and reading EVERYTHING I could find about affairs, but nothing spoke of how to rebuild a marriage the way Mort does.

My husband is still seeing the other woman, and while it kills me, I always knew that the only solution is for us to repair what was broken in our relationship. No one could help with that until I found Mort. My only wish has been that I found him MUCH earlier!!!!!

Mort's program has helped me gain strength, understanding, wisdom, and most of all renewed hope.

If your marriage is in ANY trouble at all, try Mort's program. You will benefit beyond belief! Leave your heart and soul open for his help. Mort has been a godsend, one I wish had happened sooner!

Mort,
I can't express the impact Marriage fitness has had on our Marriage. Getting back to the Basics of a relationship has been overwhelmingly rewarding.

"When we joined the Marriage Fitness Program things started clicking."

Scott and I just completed the Marriage Fitness Program and I would highly recommend the experience for every marriage, not just those “in trouble”. We have been married 18 years and for the most part things have gone well. About a year ago, I started feeling the “blahs” in our marriage. Nothing was really wrong. I just felt like I had lost that loving feeling. I felt that there should be more. We were adequate room mates, but we were no longer soul mates. We had conversations about what we were doing wrong, about going to therapy and even about getting divorced. We then bought Marriage Fitness and tried to work through it ourselves. We applied about as much effort as we had been applying to our relationship – very little. When we joined the Marriage Fitness Program things started clicking. We worked together on the homework. We worked together on loving each other and showing that love to each other. We now place our relationship and our time together as the number one thing in our lives. We have had a lot of fun doing this program and we got out relationship and marriage back. And I got my best friend back. My life works so much better now. Thanks Scott – oh! And thanks Mort!

"You were a God given gift to my marriage"

Mort,

You can't imagine how you have helped me in my marriage. You have reduced the number of cups flying towards my head of late.

We are improving real fast and most fences have been mended. Thank you so much.

You were a God given gift to my marriage.

God Bless You

"Our daily actions are proof positive that your approach can work miracles"

Mort,

My husband and I want you to know that your book and teleconferences have strengthened our communication skills and positively changed our attitude towards one another.

We now both share the same perspectives on:

• Why WE are so important

• How to navigate through (a work in progress) the martial journey

• Where positive actions and outlooks will take us

• What to do

• Who benefits besides us

• Our family.

We are grateful beyond words which is best because our daily actions are proof positive that your approach can work miracles. We have decided to reconcile. The timing of my husband moving back home is still undetermined due to the many details that are entailed.

I have personally spoken of your book and marriage coaching with everyone that asks, "Why would you want to get back together with your husband?" My first response is- "I did not have to throw the baby out with the bath water! I had to drastically change the temperature of the bath and hold on tight to my baby."

Respectfully,
DC

"Your program was very insightful - the CD series and boot camp were eye opening for me"

Dear Mort……

I am not sure where to begin. Everything you have taught me seems so practical but something we forget over time. Today I am applying the techniques even though I am a lone ranger, and I can se e change … I am a better man, a better Dad and a better spouse than I ever was before. Your program was very insightful - the CD series and boot camp were eye opening for me. Your advice is absolutely right on the mark and has helped me tremendously. And it seems that when I am struggling I get that one email or piece of advice from you that makes me think it all through a little more clearer. Thanks for helping me out.

"The steps have also refreshed a general feeling of wellness"

Hi Mort,

Marriage Fitness has been helpful to the rebuilding of our marriage because

of its step-wise implementation. The steps have also refreshed a general

feeling of wellness; perhaps a reflection of the way things once were in our

marriage.

Best wishes to you,

" Thanks for your help. "

Dear Mort,

I just got home from work. (Don had today off). Laying on the table when I walked into the kitchen was an envelope with my name on it. My first thoughts are he bought a card and plans to tell me to buy something for my birthday while we're away next week.

When I pull the card from the envelope, I see it is a romantic type card (he's more of the humor card person) so I am thinking ...Wow he actually stood in Hallmark and read cards to find one for me.

Then when I opened the card, a busines s c ard from a local jeweler falls out and on it a gift description of a birthstone necklace that he ordered for me.

He went on his own and picked something out! I am so happy it makes me cry when I am typing this. And it's not because I am getting a necklace it is because I feel understood. He hit it right on!

You said things like thi s c ould happen....And they do! Thanks for your help.

Laurie

P.S. If I didn't know better, I would think you were secretly having coaching sessions with Don!

"He moved back in"

Mort,
It's been two years since I joined the Marriage Fitness Program (it's like an online marriage retreat) as a lone ranger and then continued with plugged in. I then retreated and sort of gave up on my marriage when we became legally separated and he moved in with the other women! But just as you had predicted, things don't grow in dirty soil and the rational "lies" crept up to haunt them both. He moved back in but did not reconcile with me. Here is hope now for all you lone rangers out there. Two years and guess what he is listening to your tapes and paid for me to become plugged in. He keeps repeating everything you have said on the tapes so its absorbing. Of course same issues and yes he has not taken action on what he is learning but this is a miracle nevertheless. Thank you and I hope I have encouraged someone out there in the same position as I!

M.S.

"There is nothing about the program that makes you feel badly about yourself or your spouse"

I found the Marriage Fitness program online and after thinking about it for a while, then experiencing two counseling sessions with a marriage counselor and walking out of the session, I decided to give this a try. There is nothing about the program that makes you feel badly about yourself or your spouse. It is filled with common sense and gives you the feeling that you will just be a better person no matter what the outcome of your marriage. I'm happy to say that my situation has improved greatly and I am happier. But I really believe that if my relationship had not improved I would still be in a better place because the focus is on loving – yourself and others and how to go about that. And you can't lose when you tackle life in this manner. Thanks, Mort!

" We learned so much, and with your help were able to reconnect"

Hi Mort

Alex and I have completed the marriage fitness program last week.

We are implementing your secrets, we found the program very fulfilling.

We are celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary August 16. I was 18 and he was 21 years old when we got married. We have twin boys 23 and a daughter 25 years old and we are proud grandparents 3 times. Both grandaughters are just over 2 years old and a grandson 3 weeks old.

I'm glad I found your program back in February, for us it was a matter of reconnecting, yes we were roommates with not much conversation. Alex and I did the dual track. Alex signed up for the program, I received all of your e-mails which I couldn't wait to read.

We learned so much, and with your help were able to reconnect.

We read our marriage mission statement every day, and do the 7 secrets. and I love the poem "The Beauty of Love" yes there is a more beautiful thing than young love, Old love, I want to be Old Love with my husband.

I'm hoping someday to have the opportunity to thank you in person.

"We have been back together for over two years now"

Mort I just wanted you to know my husband and I where separated for 6 months. I got your cds by myself and listened to them. When I knew who I was my husband came home. He listened to the cds and it related a lot to him and his feelings. We have been back together for over two years now. Thank you for such wonderful advice :) God Bless

"With the instruction Mort provided I have faith that my marriage has a chance. "

I was lonely and feeling isolated. So I typed “separation pain” into Google and found Mort. After doing one of the Marriage Fitness assessments, I realized that there was hope for my marriage. And prompt personal responses from Mort assured me of his integrity. Since reading Marriage Fitness and doing the Marriage Fitness Program, I have accepted responsibility for my situation and no longer feel like a helpless victim. I also learned to empathize with my husband. I now have the strength to persevere. The support and encouragement Mort gave me provided a steadying effect when I might have otherwise reacted negatively and ruined any chance of reconciling with my husband. Mort taught me that there is no quick fix and that I have much pain to overcome, but with the instruction Mort provided I have faith that my marriage has a chance.

"You realize that you are not alone in your quest (even if you are a Lone Ranger in your marriage)"

Dear Mort,

I thank you wholeheartedly for your book and the Marriage Fitness Program. I do offer you my gratitude for your wisdom borne of your own experience, your compassion, your ability to see to the heart of the matter in problem marriages, and your practical guidelines that mark the path back to each other and make it so clear and simple, though not necessarily easy.

You've done such a beautiful job with your book, which is easy to read and understand. It's like having an "ah-hah" moment, when you suddenly see something that seems so clear that you wonder how you could have missed seeing it before. But the real beauty of it is that you don't leave the reader wondering how to implement the concept. So I read your book, found some validation and reinforcement for the hope I had ... but didn't follow through with implementation; it was kind of hit or miss with some of your exercises.

The Marriage Fitness Program is absolutely the perfect follow-up for the book or the perfect accompaniment to the book. It is the book brought to life and action. It's energizing to hear your voice and the voices of the other participants. You realize that you are not alone in your quest (even if you are a Lone Ranger in your marriage) and as a participant you can learn from the live answers that you are giving to questions about real-life problems. How many times have I seen our issues reflected in someone else's problems and come away with wisdom from your answer to that person that I can apply to my own marriage.

The live conferences, the Q&A sessions, the workbook, the CDs are remarkable tools that give a person chance after chance to access the material and implement your techniques. The program takes into account the pressures and schedules of busy couples in today's world, but you never veer from the central them of "Put Love First" and your marriage must be your priority.

The future of our marriage remains unclear, but I count myself as the recipient of untold benefits in my own life from having come into contact with you via a newspaper article first, then your book, the marriage fitness program, and coaching sessions. I believe you to be a person of remarkable wisdom and insight, a person of impeccable integrity, and a man who truly has found his life's work in service to others.
