Everyone Succeeds Using Our System

Here is why It is NOT too Late!

Unlike nearly every other system, our way is positive, rapid, science-based, and inexpensive. You will begin to use these common-sense, easy-to-understand techniques to great positive effect. Even the worst cases are turned around without the usual “unpacking”, blaming, re-living the past, or adding traumas. You will see results right away that last a lifetime.

We were in counseling for almost a year and just treading water. Your courses (we both signed up) have shown us how to be in love again. It is a true marriage saving experience.

The royal approach

The Royal Approach to Marriage Resurrection

Whether you are the queen (woman) or the king (man) of your domain, your marriage kingdom must be brought back to the orderly splendor of happiness that it once was, or better. Although “on paper,” it seems logical that a combined effort would be needed, it is not. Our specialty is the solo approach. Privately, every couple's counselor will acknowledge the pitfalls of couples counseling

  • 99 out of 100 times, only one is enthusiastic. The other is either passively agreeing or clearly there against their wishes.
    A Marriage, already strained, needs to be redirected toward happiness. The effort of one is more than adequate.
  • The competition for who is more “hurt” ranges from passive-aggressive to all-out war.
    We neither blame nor label. Your king or queen is ideal for you. Changing one's approach changes behavior, which in turn changes the marriage.
  • Expectations for the “other” to admit wrongdoing are off the charts.
    Marriage is not a ‘competitive’ arena. We guide you to make your marriage a hive of happiness.
  • Hidden causes of happiness remain hidden.
    Rather than attending to the causes of suffering, you will learn about the causes of happiness and how to incorporate them into your marriage, inspiring your partner at the same time.

Many of our course takers had tried both individual and couples counseling. We were their last resort. They found all they needed.

TMF saved my marriage and my life. It enabled me to forget the past, no matter what happened. It lifted a big weight off me. There were no feelings of resentment, bitterness or hurt anymore. It didn’t matter how I was treated. It didn’t affect or phase me. There was a free feeling and the ability to rise above it all. No more subconsciously blaming or being angry inside.

I just want to testify! I am committed to the SEW method and began seeing results right away and have been so inspired and motivated because it works!! But this success is on another level!!! My husband had not asked me out on a date in at least 2 years. We went separate ways and tolerated each other from a distance. This morning he asked me if I wanted to go to one of my favorite restaurants and I screamed saying you’re asking me out, yes, I’m so excited, and he smiled. It was priceless! Our marriage is being restored and it’s wonderful to have tools that work!

Save Your Marriage – Save Your Money

You will know this works before you spend a dime. The 3-Day Free Trial allows you to get comfortable with our methods before your card is charged. Then the 30-day guarantee gives you plenty of time to change your mind.

You’re the best. I took course for men 6 months ago and still go back to it all the time. My marriage has improved tremendously, and so has my life. I’m so happy because my beautiful wife of 18 years was half way out the door! Forever grateful!

The first few weeks are dedicated to stopping the negative trends. You’ll begin using techniques to get you centered, balanced, and calm. Each lesson builds upon the last and prepares you for the next. Unlike traditional marriage counseling, this approach to healing comes quickly and prepares you for ever-increasing happiness and harmony.

It totally transformed our marriage.  We had a fair marriage, always focusing on church but our relationship was an old married couple.  Now, after almost five months, our marriage has turned into such a love affair. I would compare it to two teenagers, giddy with love toward each other.

Frequently Asked Questions for The Marriage Foundation

Yes — this is actually our specialty. Marriage is often described as a team effort, but we’ve seen that one person changing the dynamic is enough. Paul Friedman discovered this through years of experience, and we’ve helped countless couples where only one was committed. Think of your marriage as a sacred container that only the two of you share. When you learn to fill it with positives using our techniques, the entire relationship shifts — even if your spouse is resistant. You don’t need their participation for it to work.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “TMF saved my marriage and my life. It enabled me to forget the past… There was a free feeling and the ability to rise above it all.” — TMF Student

It’s never too late, and we never give up. Many of our students come to us after deep pain, but with the right guidance, things shift faster than you expect. The past loses its power when you focus on building love now.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “TMF saved my marriage and my life… No more subconsciously blaming or being angry inside.” — TMF Student

Traditional counseling often keeps couples stuck in the same patterns. Our approach is different: it’s solo-friendly, science-based, practical, and focused on what actually creates lasting change. Many students come to us as a last resort after counseling failed.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “I learned many secrets… After 3 decades of suffering, I would never expect this miracle… and it keeps getting better.” — TMF Student

You can see positive shifts right away when you apply the techniques, with steady improvement building over weeks. The course spans 12 weeks with lifetime access, so you go at your own pace. Most students spend time equivalent to the video length per session plus review.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “I listen to one course video probably 50 times… I have said ‘STOP’ probably 200 times… and I love my husband so much it brings me to tears.” — TMF Student

Yes. The love is still there — it’s just eclipsed by built-up pain and habits. Our course helps you clear the debris and actively cultivate love again. Many students rediscover deep connection and passion.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “Mr. Friedman suggests… text our husbands often, compliment them, and flirt… I love watching the videos; they have restored the love.” — TMF Student

Sign up for the $39.95 monthly plan. That works out to about $9.22 per week. We also offer a 3-day trial and 30-day guarantee so you can try it with very low risk.

Yes, your participation is fully private and secure. We use advanced protections, and your spouse will not receive any notifications or communications from us.

We understand the concern. That’s why we keep it affordable (under $10/week), with a 3-day trial and 30-day guarantee. Our students consistently tell us the results are life-changing.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “This course has been a lifesaver… It helped me in the darkest time of my life, gave me hope & tools to help fix my marriage & life.” — TMF Student

This is one of our specialties. Even when your spouse says it’s over, changing your approach can shift the dynamic dramatically. Many “impossible” cases have turned around.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “I am committed to the SEW method… My husband had not asked me out on a date in at least 2 years… This morning he asked me… Our marriage is being restored.” — TMF Student

No. We honor free will and do not focus on blame or past mistakes. The program helps you move forward with positive, practical steps to create happiness.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “I’ve been doing pretty good by practicing SEW… really no arguing… It’s a start but clearly working.” — TMF Student

We teach the SEW technique (patent pending) early in the course specifically for this reason. It helps you catch and redirect negative patterns so the changes become permanent.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “The SEW technique is amazing… It is already becoming a new habit… I am realizing how much I have slacked off toward my wonderful husband.” — TMF Student

The principles are universal truths that align with the core of most spiritual and religious traditions. They are practical and work whether you are religious or not. Paul’s teachings focus on love, free will, and the soul — principles clergy from many faiths have endorsed.

How a Divorce Professional turned into a Trusted Marriage Saver

In 2001 Paul Friedman was a reputable and successful divorce mediator in San Diego when one of his couple clients asked him to save their marriage instead of ending it. It was  already  declared “over” by a highly respected marriage counselor so Paul accepted the challenge. As a divorce mediator, Paul knew that mental and psychological issues are NEVER the cause of marriage difficulties, nor was infidelity the true cause of failure. Every day good, sane, and “normal” people lose a marriage and family they could have turned into utter happiness.

The universal reason for marital unhappiness, suffering, and failure is nobody’s fault- it is a lack of truthful knowledge. It CAN be fixed.

Not too many centuries ago, scientists were put to death if they didn’t agree that tiny Earth was the center of the universe. These days that most people learn about marriage from watching sitcoms and movies, which are high on romance but un realistic about day-to-day married life. We are simply not taught what to do or how to live our marriage.  Without a road map, marriage is nearly impossible. We would not try mountain climbing without training, but that’s how we begin and usually end our marriages.

Paul left his lucrative practice and spent 8 years working with the worst cases, creating teachings that work because they are 100% applicable. 25 years later his message of marriage truth is still gaining ground.
