For husbands or wives headed for divorce
Get the marriage you’ve always dreamed of; full of love, peace, and fulfilling companionship.
—even if your spouse doesn’t want that to happen.
We know what it feels like when the spouse you love wants out of your marriage. Most of the people who work with us at Marriage Helper have been through a severe marital crisis, such as affairs, controlling and dominating spouses, mates who told them that they don’t love them any longer, and so much more. They started with us as clients, then applied to work with us to help others experience the power of our three-day intensive workshop.
Our unique, one-of-a-kind workshop has such a powerful effect on people in relationship crises that not only changes their marriages, but their lives for the better.
Marriage Helper exists to guide people who, because of their values, are motivated to save their troubled marriages even if their spouses want out or want someone else. We accomplish that by educating them through our proprietary processes and systems, and being there to help them as they dedicate themselves to restoring their marriage and their love.
Possess the relationship secret that so few know, but that changes everything. Know what draws your spouse to you and what pushes them away.
Know the main problem essential to repair to save your marriage; then follow the right path for rescuing your marriage and loving each other again.
If you’re experiencing the terrible pain of your spouse loving someone else, learn the process of leading them to love you again and have a better marriage.
Feel loved, liked, and respected. Know how to stand up and be strong without causing more problems. End being controlled or being controlling.
Use the powerful process of how to reconcile properly. It requires a plan so that you don’t wind up in trouble again.

The Pagel Family – Real Workshop Attendees
Counseling centers invite Dr. Beam to teach them so that they can earn their Continuing Education Credits to maintain their state licenses. They request Dr. Beam because he specializes in taking complex psychological and sociological research, theories, and principles and constructing them into simple, easily understandable, and usable form. Therefore, they become much more effective in real life situations.
That’s why we developed several models, processes, and systems we use at Marriage Helper to help couples solve their issues and turn their marriages into what they wish them to be. When each spouse grasps the power and practicality of each of the processes and models we teach, they start using them in their relationship with each other. Everything changes. Aggravation and frustration decreases, understanding and acceptance grow substantially.
“We’ve spent over $25,000 on marriage counseling, individual counseling, couples’ retreats, and all that stuff. But we learned more in three days than we did in all those things. We’re already applying what we learned and we can honestly say that our relationship has changed significantly for the better between when we got here on Thursday night and as we’re leaving on Sunday night.”
-Workshop Graduate
Over 3 days with tools that actually work in marriages facing crisis. Fine-tuned over 30 years through working with real marriages in real crisis and desperate situations along with using the best research on what makes a strong marriage.
One-on-one counseling causes people to shut down and become defensive. People focus too much on reliving the past and not enough on a better future. Our group educational setting is NOT group therapy; it is a unique experience that is very casual and comfortable.
You will learn about yourself, your spouse, your marriage, and how to have healthier and stronger relationships in the future. We provide hands-on help to rescue your relationship no matter how bad it is right now.
These marriage workshops are especially impactful for couples seeking a mix of structured content and peer support. If you’ve tried marriage and relationship counseling or couples therapy but haven’t seen lasting change, this three-day intensive may be the turning point you need.
We offer a personal experience designed specifically for you.
If you can’t get your spouse to attend, we have something special JUST FOR YOU. You get a workshop specifically crafted and geared toward you as the single spouse who wants to save the marriage.
These workshops include both men and women and are done online (or occasionally in-person). You have the convenience of attending without leaving your home.
Once per quarter, we have an in-person solo workshop for men only.
Great resource to remind you of principles learned and foster continued growth.
Solutions for common situations like ending affairs, communication, and stopping hate.
Certified coaches answer questions and help with specific situations weekly.
Connect with others on the same journey in a safe, moderated environment.
When you sign up for a couples or solo workshop, you get access to private coaching sessions with Marriage Helper Certified Coaches.
All of our coaches go through a long training process to become a Marriage Helper certified coach™ . While you could get advice from your friends or family, it’s often hard to get unbiased advice that’s focused on saving the marriage. A Marriage Helper Certified Coach™ will give you objective advice based on thousands of hours working with marriages in similar situations to yours.
Here’s What Coaching Can Help You With:
The team at Marriage Helper has been in the business of working with relationships for over 30 years. Founded by Dr. Joe Beam, who has become a leading relationship expert in America.
Dr. Beam’s personal passion for saving marriages came from his own story. In the 1980’s, his marriage fell apart and they divorced for 3 years. After living a lifestyle he never thought he would live and intends never to live again, he called his ex-wife Alice and asked her to take him back.
They didn’t love each other in the romantic sense. Alice had already started dating. But they had 2 young daughters, and Alice knew that Joe was a good man who had done bad things—and she knew he deserved another chance.
They re-married, and almost divorced again because they hadn’t actually fixed anything. But they doubled-down and figured out how to make it work the second time. As a result of that new marriage and the restoration of all that was lost, they had another daughter—our CEO, Dr. Kimberly Beam Holmes who has now earned her PhD and leads our organization in helping save marriages.
This personal journey of restoration is the foundation of everything we do at Marriage Helper.

People who truly want help for their marriage.
We have learned over the decades that those who will have the best results from our workshop have at least one spouse who is genuinely dedicated to saving the marriage. We teach you principles, techniques, systems, and processes that we’ve witnessed working powerfully and effectively for 30 years. However, SOMEONE HAS TO DO THEM! If neither of you is genuinely motivated to save your marriage, you probably won’t do what you need to do.
Actually, if neither of you is truly motivated, you very likely will not ever come to the workshop. You may talk about it and call us occasionally to get recharged. But if the drive is not in your heart to do what needs to be done, your marriage most likely will continue to deteriorate.
When it seems the marriage problem has existed for a while, often the motivated spouse isn’t in a hurry to do anything to confront the problem and save the marriage. The motivated spouse may call us but they don’t push forward to do what needs to be done to solve the problems and save the marriage. They want to come - someday.
Someday may never come. Or, someday comes too late.
Troubled marriages have a timer that’s running out. At some point it stops. Hesitating or procrastinating won’t lead your spouse to stop an affair, or to stop trying to control and dominate you, or solve any other problem. Putting off doing what needs to be done makes things worse. Sometimes gradually. Sometimes very quickly.
Whether you just found out about an affair, or finally had enough of being controlled, or reached your limit on being turned down sexually, the time to do something about it is NOW. Don’t wait until it’s worse or too late. We’re ready to help. Are you ready to act?
People sometimes ask if we guarantee that our workshop will save their marriages. Because we don’t lie, we never make such a guarantee. Anyone who does is a liar and a fraud.
People who accept the fact that saving a marriage isn’t as simple as taking a pill, but instead means working on self and situations are the ones who succeed. They are willing to analyze themselves to see how they contributed to the situation their marriage is in. They recognize their own flaws, BUT also recognize their own strengths and assets. Having a pity party doesn’t help. Acknowledging reality and doing what needs to be done does help.
And it works.
Not always. Your spouse still has the right to make their own decision about what they’re going to do. But when you do the right things, it’s amazing how often the spouse changes their thinking, changes their perception of you, and decides to stop the path they’re on so that they can save the marriage. Our researcher, Dr. John Hill, surveys our workshop graduates. He finds that even with the dire circumstances that walk into our workshop, more than 70% of our graduates are still together a year later.
We can’t help marriages in crisis without having a top-tiered team. Therefore, as you expect, we charge for our services. Our fees are modest in comparison to others in our field who offer far less than we do for more money. We’re proud we can serve you without charging the exorbitant fees others do.

“There were many moments when I started asking myself questions like “what am I doing?” “Nobody does this.” But even though, at times, I did not have the strength to carry on, I never lost hope, even if I barely grasped onto it. We divorced in February 2019, and we’re getting remarried next month. God did this. He put Marriage Helper on my path, and I could not be more grateful. Remember, it’s only crazy till it happens.”
– Joshua, Workshop Attendee
People travel from all over the world to attend our in-person workshops in Spring Hill, Tennessee, just south of Nashville. We also offer online workshops for those who prefer to attend from the comfort of home.
We begin the workshop at 8 a.m. Central Time on Friday and Saturday and finish around 6:30 p.m. CT (with an hour break for lunch). On Sunday, the workshop begins at 8 a.m. and ends around 3 p.m CT.
Absolutely. We often have at least one couple in attendance that is already divorced. In fact, we've hosted couples that had been divorced for as long as 10 years, and we’ve witnessed many couples who remarried after attending the workshop.
Yes! Affairs are the most common marriage issue we see at our workshop, and we've had a lot of success helping couples through that. Many staff members have experienced the same thing in their marriage, and their testimonies are extremely helpful. Unlike some other workshops, we welcome people who are still in affairs to attend. We treat them with respect and at the same time help them understand a great deal about themselves and their situation.
Are you willing to do ANYTHING and EVERYTHING it takes to save your marriage or make your marriage better than it is now? If you answered yes to this question, the workshop is for you. If you want to know more before making a decision, please set up a free call with one of our advisors who will answer any questions.
Other programs often require that both spouses are willing to work on the marriage before attending their intensives. At Marriage Helper, we welcome the reluctant spouse. Even if your spouse is still involved in an affair or is insistent on divorce, we still see amazing success rates in the marriage being saved.
No one has the proprietary processes and systems that the team at Marriage Helper has developed specifically for us, led by Dr. Joe Beam. These are proven with many couples over many years to be both powerful and effective. While others can teach you from academic books, or tell you their own personal stories and what worked for them, no one else has these processes and systems that work on a very deep level.
Also, the workshop experiences are not only over three days. The full workshop experience includes 6 coaching sessions and a full year of support through our Marriage Helper Membership. We provide comprehensive, ongoing support to ensure your success.
