It's Not too Late
Achieve Happiness
Save Your Marriage in 12 Weeks
Hi, I’m Paul Friedman, founder of The Marriage Foundation. You may know me from YouTube,
I didn’t integrate trendy or commonly held beliefs. These courses, which are structured video classes that create progressive and certain results, stand alone. I proved that you will get better results faster when you use a solo course. Couples or individual traditional marriage counseling doesn’t come close. If your partner wants a course too (for their gender), you can add them at any time (at a discount). The courses are strictly individual.
Western Psychology is Wrong for Marriage
Paul Hagenberger, LMFT, now deceased, also in the video, was a psych professor at the University of Phoenix. As he learned our principles and methods, he shared my conclusion that Western
"It’s only been a couple of weeks. The difference in our relationship is so positive! We are both acting more like we did in the beginning; we are just getting to know each other."
Simone
"Just amazing really. I watch the videos very frequently – as well as being instructional, they are motivational – and are constant reminders about how to be in marriage."
Pam
"I wanted to say thank you so very much for all of your help and support. I’ve been SEWing and its so good. I see a difference in myself, my marriage, and my relationships with my family, friends and colleagues."
Randel
The SEWTM technique is one of many original and borrowed techniques included in the courses
What Makes Our Marriage Teachings So Effective
TMF teachings are commonsensical, relevant, and results oriented. They are rooted in universal principles aligned with scripture of all religions without being preachy or condescending. We often hear that people appreciate that we point the way to happiness based on love rather than going over faults and errors. We don’t blame, do guilt, or get excited. Our mission is “SAVE Your Marriage”, not play therapist.
What does “success” mean
Success means be happy. It is THAT simple!
Happiness in Marriage?
Ever-increasing love and connection.
Learn the Art and Science of Marriage
Love and connection are the pole stars. Communication, understanding the “other” gender, cultivating devotion, and the “mechanics” of a well-functioning marriage all come into play.
We Save so Many Marriages People Thought were Unsavable Never Give Up
Our simple and effective formula: Stop anything that undermines happiness and connection while intentionally doing what you know will please your partner – remember when you first dated? You’re going to learn the 3-killers of marriages. Using our way there is no need to unpack, label, and blame. Has that ever helped? Most, not all, think their marriage is hanging on by a thread, but it isn’t. Have faith. You are going to be fine. Don’t listen to the naysayers. They don’t understand the power of love and healing. You won’t fail, your marriage will be saved, and everything will be fine. No matter how awful or for how long, this is your wake-up call. Now is the time to heal.
Marriage is a Spiritual, not a Psychological Entity
Love is the basis of marriage. It doesn’t get more spiritual than marriage. Both you and your soulmate are good people, you just got off track. We will light the way for you and you will be fine.
There is a Mechanical Component to Marriage
Universal laws apply to both everyday life and marriage. When you know how to see what is behind words, actions, and thinking you will have a clear plan for improving everything.
Marriage is a Living Entity
There is almost no such thing as a “done” marriage, until you give up. Like a plant that is almost dead through unknowing abuse, your marriage WILL recover! It takes knowledge and right effort.
Your marriage can, and WILL recover!
True for thousands of marriages we saved for 25+ years!
Couples Counseling vs TMF Marriage Course
Couples counseling is expensive. It costs $80 to $300 plus, lasts for 6 to 12 months, or longer and, respectfully, it doesn’t work. The only proven exception is the Gottman methodology. But that works ONLY when both are enthusiastic, (see my (unlisted) Gottman YouTube video). My mediation clients were referred by the best counselors, so I was able to do lots of good research. As a testimony of sorts, when, instead of ending marriages I was saving them, a few of those same psychologist friends sent their hard cases to me. Their protocols still don’t work. They, who tried marriage counseling before finding us, or are still going weekly, finally found real help with our courses. Our online courses work quickly, and it will save you a bundle. With a free 3-Day trial period and a 30-day guarantee, I want you to feel safe. Also, our system includes access to our TMF Marriage Counselors, it is a fantastic combination. TMF marriage counselors are very supportive. They will help you get unstuck when you need them. I still train therapists, ministers, and laypeople. All took our marriage help courses for their own marriage, using our unique online marriage counselor training course. I’m proud of our TMF Marriage Counselors. They are compassionate, caring, loving, sincere… they will guide you with love and genuineness because they have lived it (all have had children, too). They know what you are going through.
If you want to learn more about our counselors or consider joining our ranks, read more. The bottom line in my opinion, is our system is, based on our incredible results, the best there is. Are there failures? Very rare. Get a free assessment from our counselors if you wish.
Will a Book Work?
The degree of need is based on one thing:
Your current state of “connection”
I think everyone should read one of my books before they get married because the knowledge they will get will make their marriage bullet proof (or they can take our premarital course which is fine if you have been living together for less than 6 months or so. The books present an overview of what a well running marriage looks like “under the hood”. In other words, it explains how to regard your soulmate, how to interact, what to expect and not expect, and creates a baseline that will not fail you. However, most people are struggling in quicksand and need a lifeline as provided by the courses. If you are feeling disconnected you should get the course. Some, who are not sure, start with the book. If your marriage is disconnected but on the precipice that’s a good way. There are two choices for the books
WE RARELY SEE A MARRIAGE WE CAN NOT HEAL
I solemnly promise that when you take the course, and follow the instructions to the best of your ability, you will discover true happiness within yourself, your partner, and your life. This is my pledge to you – Paul Friedman

Your Questions Answered
What if my spouse isn’t interested in any kind of outside (or inside) help?

How is this different from therapy?
We focus on love, not problems.
How soon will I see results?
Progress in weeks.
Is it private?
100% confidential.
Real Stories, Real Change
“Dear Counsellor, Thank you to Paul and the entire TMF family! I made it to the end of the course and not only do I feel accomplished, I feel empowered. I am happy I did this course bc I recognized so many ways that I held back love from my husband and as I correct those …Now, I am praying for marriages the world over. May God continue to bless you richly.“

“Thank you so much. I am learning so much through this course and I want to commit to it with all that I have. Thank you for teaching me a better way to live my life without being controlled by my thoughts and emotions. I want to learn the SEW more than anything.”
UPDATE:
“Hey there, Just wanted to give an update. As I’ve worked on myself and focused on making all of my interactions with my wife positive experiences where I’ve been intentional to be respectful, courteous, considerate, kind, and helpful with the kids and a number of things, I’ve seen progress every day. My wife is engaging me in conversation. Two days ago, she brought me lunch. Tonight, she told my son to bring her phone over to me so I could watch the video on it and laugh with them. I felt a very good moment there as she watched me and waited to see my laughter as I watched it. These are all good things and I seem to see more of them every day.”

“Hello, I know I have so much work to do, but I think this program finally clicked for me about a week and a half ago. I have been able to change negative thoughts to thoughts (and thereby actions) of love. I feel love for my husband and am seeing him in a different way. It has been life changing the past week. He has been treating me with love also. Doing things that he hasn’t done for me in a long time. It’s been so beautiful”
