The 24-Hour Marriage Turnaround

Tired of marriage troubles? Of course you are.

So ask yourself: When you've faced problems before, how did you handle them? Did you delay getting the answers that could help make things better or did you do everything you could, as quickly as you could, to turn things around?

There are no guarantees in life or in marriage, and there is no one-size-fits-all solution; however, the traditional model of marriage help—ongoing marriage counseling—isn't for everyone. The business model of counseling supports a long-term resolution period... that is, repeat appointments. But if your marriage is struggling and you're living in turmoil, that might not be the best life model for you. Plus, you may be facing a husband or wife who won't participate in the process, or who won't participate fully or honestly. There is no dome of truth in a counselor or coach's office. 

That’s where Marriage SOS comes in

Because resolving a marriage crisis doesn't just require top-tier guidance. It requires timely top-tier guidance. 

And realistically, there's only one way to achieve that twofold goal: By "binging" your way to a better understanding of what is happening and what to do about it.

The more insights and strategies you can learn, and the faster you can learn them, the sooner you can start handling things differently. And the sooner things can start to turn around.

So stop wasting time googling out-of-context and fragmented advice generated by AI. Stop scouring endless blogs looking for free advice. Stop investing thousands of dollars in glossy but ultimately useless coaching packages stuffed with filler and recycled advice. Stop spinning your wheels and getting nowhere! It's time to focus and move forward.

Like the name "Marriage SOS" suggests, the focus is on two things:

1. Delivering candid insights and usable strategies to help a spouse successfully manage their partner's unfaithful, untrustworthy, self-focused, ambivalent or other difficult behavior and save their marriage. These insights and strategies are detailed, assertive and specialized. 

2. Delivering the above guidance as clearly and quickly as possible. There are no ongoing sessions, no vague advice and no endless anecdotes. There is no arguing or trying to persuade an uncooperative partner to participate. There is no unnecessarily overcomplicating issues. And there is definitely no nonsense.

The Marriage SOS “Take a Day”

It's time to get back to basics.

My marriage-saving books cover such topics as infidelity, chronic arguing and disconnection, and a husband's midlife crisis and midlife affair.

Every word of every book has a purpose. Every word of every book has the weight, experience, and skill of over 20 years of experience behind it. Every word is there to move you forward in your marriage and your life.

As a marital mediator and author-expert, my business has never been about prolonging or overcomplicating marriage problems. That's why my books stand apart. Unlike those written by counselors, they aren't about emotional support (you can find that elsewhere), but rather about practical "try this, don't do that!" strategies... precisely the type of real-world guidance that many people say is so hard to find.

A woman with curly black hair is lying in bed covered with a teal blanket, reading a tablet. There are snacks and a cup of coffee on a tray beside her, and an open book on the bed.

So take a day!

Choose the book that targets your marriage problem. Choose a day to read it. Then take that day—that whole day, from morning to night—to read every word.  Because these are the very same words I would speak to you in the office.

Read every page and topic, absorb the insights and guidance, and create your "action plan" by answering the questions in the book.  Because these are the very same questions I would ask you in the office, questions designed to help you make a practical plan of action that can save your marriage.

Make it a good day.  Camp out in your bedroom with coffee and snacks. Be comfortable in your own space. Play soft music in the background. Absorb my two decades of experience in a day. Take what you feel is relevant and use it to create your master plan--that is, how you're going to handle yourself, your spouse and your situation moving forward.

And then sleep on it.

When you wake up, review your master plan. What parts do you want to start implementing on hour 25?

There are times in life when we need to disconnect and reset like this. And that's what the Marriage SOS™ 24-hour turnaround is all about.  Take a day for yourself and your marriage. Binge the book that applies to you. Equip yourself with a plethora of eye-opening insights and actionable strategies that can start to make a difference, fast.
