Our Marriage Courses are for individuals, you may add your spouse later, at a discount, if they ask for it.
Your emotions do not distinguish between truly life threatening situations and things that don’t really matter, like towels left on the bathroom floor, or the fact that someone was rude to you. That’s why many mundane situations can trigger emotions that are as powerful as the emotions we might experience while being mugged or physically attacked.
In relationships, we often establish habitual responses. This means we already know how our spouse will react to a given situation, and in certain situations this can be helpful. But if our habits have become negative emotional reactions such as yelling, giving cold shoulders, or being judgmental or critical, then they no longer are helpful and instead become the drivers for the destruction of our marriage.
It’s scary to realize that as much as 90% of our actions could be driven by our habits.
Once you realize this and see for yourself how your words are harming your spouse, you still might not be able to stop them before they slip out in the heat of an argument.
It is very difficult to change the habits that drive our lives. Paul created a special technique called S.E.W. which is truly revolutionary in its ability to help us get a handle on our reactive tendencies and to slice through negative habits.
Even beginners with the S.E.W. technique can learn to stop harmful words right away. With regular practice, you’ll even be able to stop the negative emotions before they arise. In their place you’ll have the freedom to express love and wisdom appropriate for the situation.
With the S. E.W. technique, you will still be able to deal with the real problems in life, but you’ll do so from a more peaceful and happier place, which will allow your marriage to flourish.
The Powerful Woman: Setting Your Intentions
Our Marriage Courses are for individuals, you may add your spouse later, at a discount, if they ask for it.
Yes, however, we do not recommend people sign up their spouse without their knowledge or interest.
Our most successful, step-by-step program is specifically designed for you to use as an individual to begin the healing and refreshing process without requiring your partner to also do their program.
Over the past 15 years, about half of spouses also sign up, though not always right away.
Even though your intentions are probably wonderful, it is best to not sign up your spouse unless they have expressly asked. In a relatively short period, they will certainly notice big changes in you. Seeing you become a happier person is what will inspire them to want to participate in improving the marriage with you.
Your spouse can sign up for only $129.95 anytime, whether that is today, in a month, a year, or even 5 or 10 years from now.
To add your spouse, buy either individual course above. After signing up, you will have the option to add your spouse for the discounted rate. Both courses are covered under the 3-day free trial and 30-day guarantee. The option to upgrade will be available to you at any time on your member dashboard.
Over the years, we have seen some true miracles happen. Many of our clients had already sought advice from a long line of ineffective counselors. Others had been turned away by counselors because their problems seemed too difficult. Yet, in the end, they were able to save their marriage with our methods. We have helped couples in all of the following situations and more:
Usually we can help couples that other professionals can’t or won’t help. However there are some unfortunate circumstances in which even we cannot help:
1) If there is physical abuse.
If you or your children are in danger, we do not recommend you stay in the home. Get away from the abuser and into a safe environment. However, we have seen couples move back in together when it was safe to do so.
2) If you or your spouse is abusing drugs or alcohol.
Realize that chronic abuse of any substance is never good when you want to make positive changes. Dealing with the tensions in your marriage is already difficult enough without the added burdensome effects caused by drugs and alcohol. Even in this situation, our system will certainly be beneficial for your marriage, but please seek professional help to address the substance abuse.
3) If your wife has left the home and is involved with another man.
We have not been able to save marriages in this situation. It is different if the husband leaves due to a different motivation driving the separation. Even after they had been living with a younger woman for months, we’ve seen wives who were determined to save their marriage be able to reconcile with their husbands. However, when women leave, they usually leave “with their heart”. Men, if this is your situation, our system might help you interact more positively with her and your children, but sadly we cannot offer hope for a full recovery. Please read the Men’s FAQ for more information.
In all other circumstances, we can help.
To you, the problems you are facing may seem huge and pretty complex, but in our experience they are usually easily resolvable if you know what to fix and how to fix it. If you focus on the symptoms (i.e. the cheating or fighting), you will never resolve the underlying, real problems and will not be able to make progress in healing the marriage.
If you have any questions about your unique situation, feel free to contact our counselors.
Yes, absolutely. This is what makes our system so unique. Once you understand why marriages succeed or fail, and study the principles we teach, you’ll see for yourself that they make perfect sense.
Even if only one of you is willing to learn and apply these principles (regardless of who committed the errors), that partner will definitely still enjoy the benefits of an incredible marriage. Time and time again, we see that when one spouse starts taking the course, fighting stops, peace descends on the home, our student becomes happier than ever, and the spouse starts wondering what happened.
The improvement is so remarkable that the spouse often becomes interested in learning how he or she can participate in the process too.
We’ve had cases in which a husband left the home to move in with a younger woman. The wife, however, was not willing to give up, so she took the course, eliminated all fighting and negative interactions with her husband, forgave and loved him (a tough pill to swallow, for sure, but her goal was to have a happy marriage, not to blame her spouse) and after several months he moved back home. They rebuilt a wonderful marriage from that point on. We can’t promise results like this to everyone, but we have seen some amazing miracles.
Many of our clients come to us with this question. But you already know from your own experience that you can’t change others and people only truly change when they make the effort themselves.
The only way to improve your spouse’s behavior that we have seen consistently work is the following:
Very often when a spouse makes a mistake, your impulse to react negatively is strong. Your reaction is nearly as destructive for your marriage as the initial mistake, because it perpetuates a cycle of negative reactions (fighting, giving cold shoulders, yelling, etc). Surely you’ve already seen this happen, over and over again in your marriage.
We have found a way to break this cycle and we teach how to do that in our system. Learning this is essential for a happy marriage.
You must learn to stop the impulse that drives your negative reactions. Once you have mastered this, then you will be able to respond with love and wisdom whenever your spouse makes a mistake. We do not teach you to become a doormat. Instead, we teach you how to respond from an empowered place where you can choose the action that is best for your marriage, rather than responding from a place of feeling hurt, upset, or feeling like a victim.
When you have changed your own attitudes and behaviors, you will then see a marked improvement in how your spouse reacts to you. When you respond only with love, it’s very hard for him or her to put up a fight or to intentionally continue making mistakes.
The Marriage Foundation is not affiliated with any other organization, religious or otherwise. We have clients in over 45 different countries who are followers of all faiths or atheists. We have clients referred to us by pastors, rabbis, and other religious leaders who have reviewed our material. Our principles, books and courses are practical, not religious and work in all religious, spiritual, and atheist marriages.
Here is a summary of the “spiritual” tenets discussed in our system:
No one can deny that we have a consciousness. Religious circles call this a soul, but it’s the same thing.
Marriage counseling, based in western psychology, begins with the premise that we are an organism: a body and brain that has developed consciousness as a result of its chemical processes.
Our courses are based in eastern psychology, which begins with the premise that we are a consciousness that possesses a body and mind. Evolution isn’t denied, but our starting point is that our essence is consciousness inhabiting biology, not just a product of physical, biological processes.
How we got here is for religions to decide. It’s not important to us unless it is useful for your marriage. However, the fundamental difference in marriage-help solutions derives from the question of what we are, which is critically important for your marriage.
If you are a body, then that implies that your consciousness is a perpetual victim of the emotions and habits that drive 90% or more of your actions. This basically means that you have no control over your life and that love is just a chemical that comes and goes solely as a response to outward stimuli or inward chemical reactions.
However if you are a consciousness then although most of our actions are still driven by emotions and habits, we can separate ourselves from them because we are not ‘them’. We own them as possessions. You can compare habits and emotions to wild horses driving our chariot. If in our whole life, we’ve never taken control of the reins, the horses will fight and pull in different directions. However, with the right process and patience, we can learn to rein them in.
By regarding humans as a consciousness or a soul, marriage becomes a union between souls seeking to exchange Love, rather than a union between organisms seeking to experience chemical highs.
In our system the words ‘consciousness’ and ‘soul’, and ‘God’ and ‘Love’ are interchange. However, we don’t preach any dogma. Everything we teach can be proven through your own experience, in your own life.
We maintain that trying to fix your marriage without exercising any control over your emotions, mind, and expressions is futile. So believing that you are just an organism permanently and hopelessly subject to chemistry and outward stimuli will never allow you or your spouse to make changes and improve your marriage.
However, approaching your marriage as a ‘spiritual union’ between two ‘consciousnesses’ has proven to be far more effective than traditional marriage counseling. It provides a useful conceptual model even atheists can accept. This means we are beings who love naturally but its expression is blocked by bad mental habits like yelling, criticizing, and other negative emotional reactions. Once we learn to control those reactions, our natural love can flow freely. Even love itself becomes an energetic force, rather than just the chemicals in the body.
Which conceptual model resonates most profoundly with you? Are you the result of a chemical reaction; an organism entirely subject to your own biology and not responsible for your own behavior? Or are you a consciousness with free will that has the ability and responsibility to manage your own emotions and mind so you can freely love your spouse? If you are at least comfortable working within this latter conceptual model, then you’ll have no problem using our system.
If you want a happy marriage, give our approach a shot. We can show you how to have an incredibly happy marriage, regardless of your religious beliefs.

The Marriage Foundation was established in California in 2009 as a 501(c)(3) educational non-profit organization. We are registered as Global Foundation For Marriage, dba The Marriage Foundation.
From 2003 onward, prior to founding the organization, Paul Friedman had already been developing and testing his marriage-saving material in his private practice. He felt it necessary to establish the foundation so that it would be possible to bring people from all over the world into contact with this much needed methodology.
If you would like to participate in growing our cause and helping marriages worldwide, the best way is to purchase our books or courses and improve your own marriage. By living an ideal example for your kids and others to see, you will leave a lasting impact on society. Other ways to support the foundation are by sharing our social media posts, recommending us to your friends, or by providing a tax-deductible donation, all of which help tremendously.
“Thanks, the course has been challenging and helpful. I try to employ as many of the techniques as possible in my daily interactions with my wife and also know I have a long way to go to break my bad habits. Thanks for your support.”

“As this new environment in our home has become warmer, more friendly, more hospitable and a place were she gets more of her needs meet she has recently been making some moves … I work at it daily.”
Indianapolis, IN
“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.”
New Haven, CT
“Paul is humble but exceptionally wise! He transformed my life into a tremendous place. I can’t thank him and TMF enough. His wisdom is so far-reaching! You’ll see more of it in the TMF Counselor course. How does one human become so evolved that a half-hour discussion has infinitely beautiful implications? He’s my guru. He’s a Saint!”
Midland, TX
“I’m a wife and mother of 2. I watched your video on being a better wife to my hubby. Loved it. Only rolled my eyes once lol. Everything else was spot on. I am a little surprised the message for women was a half hour long and the message for men was 7 minutes. But if you think about it, we women talk a bit more and need more clarification most times lol. Makes sense. Keep up the good work sir!”
Fridley, MN
“Dear Paul, Marvelous!
The Marriage Foundation is very important for marriage education, thank You very much for the videos and books I bought that I am still reading.
Best always, -Meriam”
Golden Valley, MN
“I have really enjoyed your you-tube videos! I have a truly wonderful marriage of 18 years and 5 sweet kids and are always looking to improve and be a better wife and mother. So much of the advice I hear makes no sense! Learning how to fight? I find our marriage is golden when we lovingly care for each other. I left a lucrative job I loved 12 years ago and miss the intellectual stimulation so I am enjoying learning from your videos. Have a beautiful day and keep up the hard work.”
Garfield Heights, OH
“I am Optimistic that we can Save our Marriage. I know that we still Love Each Other. He again calls me “Honey” and I still call him “Babe,”. Every morning we Train & Exercise together. When we talk to each other in a nice way. By Using the S.E.W technique. I feel I have come a long way since I started the course, and feel that I’m ready for the next section Module 3”
Modesto, CA
“Thank U so much for your videos. Especially this one. I’ve been separated from my husband for 5mths, and we just can’t seem to get the communication right even though we’ve been seeing each throughout the separation. We always seem to butt heads and wind up fighting over the least little things. I’ve tried other relationships videos and courses but nothing seem to work. Until I came across yours. I really love the way U express how we should express love and support, and learn to communicate better so we can get along and have a happy marriage. And it’s starting to work. But, it does take work. Thank U so much. Now I have hope again, and will not give up on my 10yr marriage.”
Brooklyn, MD
“Thank u so much for those videos. I watched a lot of videos about marriage and almost every video made me even more insecure about my man and marriage. But the things u say really give me a lot of hope in this dark place im currently in. And the things u say r so realistic. God bless u for your good work and help”
Denver, CO
“Good morning, I hope you are terrific today. I began the course for men on January 24 and thought I was progressing as I began to see and feel changes in my life. Still when around my wife I struggled to keep the overwhelming negative reactions from taking me over. Hopefully now, since I received a reply email over a week ago stating I have not been using the SEW technique, I have learned my lesson. I have noticed I am calmer since I’ve started using the SEW technique again on all my thoughts, feelings and anything else that comes into or I feel arising in my mind.”
Vicksburg, MS
“I wrote once at the beginning of the course and now I’m writing again, 5 months+ after beginning the course. I have seen benefits form this course, I’m doing my best to implement the SEW method, to change my way of thinking, and to approach each situation as calmly and supportively as I can. Your course confirmed to me what I knew and felt spiritually to be the truth, and has helped me deal with almost any situation in a more deeply understanding and loving manner.”
Staten Island, NY
“Thank you. I’m committed to make the complete change for myself and my marriage. I believe in this training program and at some later think I want to join the counselors. I have to say this by far one of the hardest things I’ve had to go through but I’m growing. I’ll be married 25 years in July so I have a lot to undo but I’m doing it, something I would have never thought I could do. I appreciate all the help for all the counselors and especially Paul. I wish that some of the counselors would share their success stories about how their marriages changed.”
Wytheville, VA
“Dear Counsellor,
Thank you to Paul and the entire MF family! I made it to the end of the course and I don’t just feel accomplished yet but I feel empowered. I have had a couple of slips ups when my emotions whipped me but I unburdened to a counselor and kept it away from my husband and importantly I didn’t share it with anyone. 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 – I am seeing subtle changes in him. I will continue to listen the videos in the car on my to work etc. I will continue to work on watching my mind and guarding my thoughts. I might still need to write to you, if I get in an emotional ‘battle’ but I hope not much. Continue to help and pray for marriages the world over. May God continue to bless you richly.”
Albany, NY
“Thank you for your wisdom. I am on the crossroads in my life with a husband who has put me through a roller coaster for almost 18 years. He can be the sweetest and most loving one day and very demanding and critical the next day. I’m suffering from depression and anxiety and often I have to hide it from him to avoid gaslighting. He refuses any kind of help or counseling and extremely confident. I didn’t want to leave yet but I’m at the end of my rope and out of options after trying all I could to improve this marriage. I feel like I’m stuck forever.”
Beltsville, DC
“Good morning Dear Counselor, I hope you are having a great day! I had another ah ha moment as I see now how even I have the problem with anger due to the drive to survive. Before I just thought it was normal. Now I see it differently. In other areas of my life I find it easier to turn the negative into a positive using the SEW technique.”
City Of Commerce, CA
“Dear Counselor, I greet you well! I completed the course last week and thinking of where I was 3 months ago to now, I am feeling and dealing with issues now is 100% times better. Since I watched the anatomy of a fight videos and applied the SEW technique I only had one slip up and after I saw the consequences, I worked even harder not to have a repeat. My husband is now quite nice and is home much more. I have observed that he spends less time on his phone. He is even busy making and organizing repairs to our home.”
Saint Louis, MO
“My wife and I are on less shaky ground. I SEWed up my speech (more than once) and you know what? I was happier and much less angry. I found myself not saying negative things. I found she was open to me not being negative. BOY, IS PAUL EVER RIGHT ABOUT HOW WE AS MEN TEACH OUR WOMEN TO BE NEGATIVE AND AGGRESSIVE. UGH. But! Now there is hope and God will bring us all closer to him. Cheers”
Florence, AL
“I hadn’t mentioned this before, but I’m a Messianic Jew, and find Paul’s style and substance to be both fulfilling and sufficient. By fulfilling I mean it aligns with the principles of faith that I believe in. By sufficient I mean he provides us with a clear understanding of the mind — I don’t need to have someone tell me why he loves his dog, just that he does. By the same token, I don’t need to read a popular psychology book on marriage or on the mind: what Paul says is based in love — is there anything more important or fundamental?”
Stamford, CT
“I just watched the SEW addendum video. It reminded me of something J— O— has said: “Don’t pray for victory, and then call in defeat” He was referring to those who pray for some turnaround event, but continue to wallow in the depths of gossip, bad thoughts, and victimhood. Say what you want about Pastor J—, he’s got some wise and Godly observations. JUST LIKE PAUL!”
Pinellas, FL
“You have definitely saved my marriage and changed my thinking. I’m kinder and sweeter. Months ago he’d said he wasn’t in love with me anymore and broke my heart, but everything is changing. I’m so grateful to you. Thank you. Your kindness is contagious. We are all souls!!! “
Englewood, CO
“Hi I’m just letting you know that I’m still doing this course. I’ve been very blessed by this course and recommend it to others. I am having a successful restoration and renewal of my marriage and want to help others after I succeed. Thank you so so much for all your wisdom and help. Yahuah (God) opened the door and I’m so very grateful.”
Staten Island, NY
“I listen to the TMF videos over and over, often more than ten times while I work, sometimes more than twenty times, as I get something new each time. It truly helps me in all of my relationships. I then write out the notes verbatim as best as I can. That’s when I move onto the next lesson.”
Stickney, SD
“Hi there, Just letting you know that it starts working. I use the course and the book simultaneously and I’m starting to understand some of the things that I deprived my husband of. ….It is hard to deal with myself because I never knew how to control my mind. I am not going to let this go south. And this technique works with every situation, even in business context and with raising children. I cannot see bliss yet, but I see myself and what I have to work on. Thank you. Today I feel better than the last weeks.”
Wausau, WI
“I have completed week 9 of the course and I have loved everything that I have learned. I have been most intriquired because as one who has spent the past 30 years studying the bible I find that I harmonize with all that you teach and (of course) I wish I knew this sooner. I’m also a bit embarrassed that I missed these conclusions. Hats off to you all.”
Norfolk, VA
“Hello! So I’ve been taking this course for about 5 weeks now and things have dramatically changed for the better! I could not be happier with the outcome by practicing the SEW method. I’m going to finish the course”
Indianapolis, IN
“This is one of the most EXCELLENT pieces of advice I’ve ever seen on Youtube. I’m very impressed! Seems like so many in our culture have devalued the institution of marriage, but YOU sir have brought the sanctity of it back to life. You are absolutely correct.”
City Of Commerce, CA
“One day I will tell my husband how the work you did brought me back to being the love and heart of our family. Best wishes to you and your families! God bless you all”

“I love what you are doing. You are helping us understand how to live lives filled with joy. Thank you for continuing to post these videos and thank you for putting your message out there. I just want you to know that these efforts you are making are doing a lot of good in some of us random strangers’ lives, and not falling on deaf ears. I’m afraid we wouldn’t be getting these messages from anywhere else if you weren’t doing this, and my life and all of the lives I touch, would be so much unhappier if I didn’t find your messages, and if I didn’t get constant reminders about them. I’m sorry I’m such a slow learner and you have to work so hard to keep people like me moving in a happy direction, but I do want you to know how much I appreciate it!!! My life is becoming more joyful because of you.”

“Thought would give an update about how things have been going. I do thank you for your prayers and support. Last 2 days, we have been working together, no arguing, talking very nicely to each other, there for each other, I let her sleep today while I got our girls ready for child care, and walked with them to their centre which is walking distance after they had breakfast and a bath. I know it is just a start, we went to church together, we are talking about our future together with each other in it, about our house build….”

Auckland, New Zealand
"The fighting began before the baby. The problem is we are both so stubborn and always want the last word, instead of trying to sort it out. There is so much love in our relationship but it was always pushed to the back because of our constant bickering. Now we know how to work things out calmly and respectfully!"
Los Angeles, CA
"I never understood what a spiritual marriage was, or how to include God in our marriage. I am not religious and didn't want to hear all that crap (pardon the language).

What can I say... most unexpected, but most happy. Thanks. Can't fail now..."

"I feel very reassured to know that I have this access. It means everything to me right now, and certainly it is a tool I will use ongoing to keep my marriage alive and well. Things are going great for me purely from this new information I am learning. Going from rock bottom to a transformed relationship is nothing short of a miracle."

"TMF helped me find the peace I was longing for, from what seemed like an impossible situation. It caused such a transformation in my marriage, which was on the way to divorce. TMF continues to make changes for peace, happiness and beautiful love in our marriage. Because of TMF we celebrated our 35th wedding anniversary. In the decades of my experience, besides God and the Bible, there is no other successful marital help like it. It is deeply appreciated."
