Save Your Marriage

When I got married thirteen years ago, I vowed to love my husband in sickness and in health, for richer or poorer, til death do us part. I took those vows seriously, and luckily we have had a great marriage. Some people are not as lucky as I am. The divorce rate in this country is ridiculously high, and I honestly believe it is because couples wait until their problems are too big to face the fact that they may need some help. It's hard to admit that sometimes you can not do it all yourself, and it's even harder to ask for some strangers help. I think it is very sad that people chose to walk away from a relationship rather than put some effort into working it out. At the National Institute of Marriage you can get the marriage counseling you need to save your marriage. You may even find out that it is better to end the relationship, but at least you could walk away knowing you did everything you could to save it. It is hard to turn to others, but when you are sick you seek medical attention. Why not seek a specialist to save the life of your relationship?

Press Release:

With the national divorce rate around 50%, there is no doubt that many marriages run into communication problems at some point. There is a communication epidemic. The National Institute of Marriage has created marriage counseling programs and resources utilizing a structure that is the most powerful format they have found for helping couples who feel stuck and hopeless. They have designed several programs to help couples move past the barriers and experience the marriage of their dreams.
NIM's Intensive Marriage Counseling Programs are unique from weekly marriage counseling in three distinctive ways:

· Intensive Marriage Counseling Format: Committing to an extended amount of concentrated time like the 2 or 4 day Marriage Intensive allows people to get to the root of the problem and stick with it in order to work through it. If you’ve been in traditional marriage counseling before, you may have experienced how you spend the first half catching up from the week before, the second half getting into the real issues, and then the time is gone. The Intensive format is designed so that people have the chance to go deeper without many of the other distractions of daily life and have enough discuss to consider solutions.

· Efficiency: One of the first steps in the process is an extensive assessment with some questionnaires. This allows the therapists to gather background information and can get an idea of the best strategy to proceed before you arrive for your session.

· Marriage Counselors: The counselors at the National Institute of Marriage are specialists in this area. One analogy we like to use is that of the Mayo Clinic: people go to their regular physician but may be sent to a specialist to work with specific areas. The NIM marriage therapists have been trained in this format to maximize its effectiveness. Also, the NIM marriage counseling programs provide the perspectives and insight of two professionals rather than one.
If you are considering divorce, you must try the National Institute of Marriage before giving up. They have developed a continuum of care that meets couples wherever they may be in their relationship.
