You typed "mend the marriage reviews" or "save the marriage system reviews complaints" or just "marriage programs for men".
So you're past books and you're thinking about paying for something.
Good, and be careful.
There's a lot of money made off men in your spot at two in the morning.
So here are the seven programs husbands talk about most, with who runs each one and what it is.
I run one of them (number 4), so weigh this list however you want.
Before the list, how to judge any program
Okay, so run every program through these, mine included.
Does it promise she'll come back?
If it does, close the tab, because nobody can promise that.
Can you read or watch some of the teaching before you pay?
Is it built for one person, or does it need her to take part?
And is there a refund policy written down somewhere you can find it?
Marriage Helper (Joe Beam)
Marriage Helper runs workshops and a Save My Marriage course, and has a large YouTube channel.
It's aimed at the spouse who's been left trying alone.
You can watch a lot of their teaching free on YouTube first, which is a good way to see if it fits you.
Check their site for current price and format.
Divorce Busting coaching (Michele Weiner-Davis)
This is the coaching side of the therapist who wrote The Divorce Remedy.
Her approach is written for the spouse who wants to stay when the other wants out.
If the book made sense to you, this is the same thinking with a person attached.
Marriage Builders (Willard Harley)
Harley is the psychologist behind His Needs, Her Needs.
Marriage Builders has a long-running forum where people work his "Plan A" and "Plan B".
The forum is free to read, so you can see how it plays out for real people before you spend anything.
The Heroic Husband (Noah Allen)
This one's mine.
It's coaching for husbands, built on the Emotional Layering Method (ELM) from my book, which is also called The Heroic Husband.
The book is on Amazon if you'd like to start there.
The coaching starts with a clarity call with my team so we can show you what needs to be done, and how.
And the free training lets you see how I teach before you talk to anybody.
Marriage Reset (Josh Hudson)
Hudson is a former marriage therapist.
Marriage Reset is a coaching program and YouTube channel aimed only at husbands whose wife has checked out.
Watch a few of his videos to see if his style works for you.
Mend the Marriage (Brad Browning)
Browning is on YouTube as "The Marriage Guy" and sells Mend the Marriage.
A lot of people search for reviews of it before buying.
I haven't been through it, so I'm not going to review it for you.
Run it through the questions at the top of this page.
Save the Marriage System (Lee Baucom)
Lee Baucom is the name behind this one.
People search for both reviews and complaints about it, which is true of most programs that have sold a lot of copies.
I haven't been through this one either, so same advice, check the refund policy and read what you can before you pay.
What no program does
No program makes her want the marriage.
What a good one does is change the man she's living with.
You see, most of us can't see our own patterns, and that's what you're paying somebody for.
Keep going
More lists: the 10 best marriage books for men, the top 10 marriage authors for men, and a book vs counseling vs coaching.
If you're the only one trying, go to Can I save my marriage alone?.
And when you're still choosing between a counselor and a coach, that's Counseling and coaching.
Remember it's NEVER too late,
