Saving your marriage starts with you. Even if your spouse isn’t ready.
You don’t need your spouse on board to start. Most people we work with start on their own. You get one coach, a plan built for your marriage, and live teaching every week, and your seat at our three-day Couples Workshop waits for the day your spouse is ready. It isn’t for everyone, and that’s on purpose. If it’s you, I want you to apply.

You shouldn’t have to save your marriage by yourself.
Maybe your spouse has checked out, moved out, or said the word divorce. Maybe you’ve tried talking, and tried waiting, and you’re tired of being the only one who seems to want this to work. Most people in your spot either push harder or give up. Neither one works, and you don’t have to keep guessing.
I know what it’s like to be sure there’s no way through.
I knew my marriage was done. It was the worst weekend of my life. My husband Rob and I are still married today, and I don’t say that to brag. I say it because I know what it’s like to be sure there’s no way through, and to be wrong.
My parents, Dr. Joe Beam and my mom, started Marriage Helper in 1994. Since then we’ve worked with more than 25,000 couples. A real person reads every application. Your coach knows your story. And nobody here is gonna judge you for any of it.

Here’s how it works.
-
Apply.
About four minutes. Most of the questions are about you, not your spouse. A real person reads every one.
-
Talk with an advisor.
If we’re a fit, you pick a time. Show up for the call and a $100 gift card for the Marriage Helper store is yours.
-
Start with your coach.
You get a plan built for your marriage, and someone in your corner who knows you by name.
What you get.
We call it the Connection Compass. It’s one coach and a plan, and the plan starts with you. So you’re not sitting in an office once a week talking about your marriage. You’re learning why it got here, how you and your spouse are each wired, and what to do about it this week, with someone who knows you by name in your corner.
From the first day, the Save My Marriage Course is yours too.
- A marriage coach you meet with every month.
- A custom roadmap for your marriage.
- Knowing how you are wired, and how your spouse is wired.
- A live class and a small group every week, with people where you are.
- A seat for both of you at our three-day Couples Workshop for whenever your spouse is ready, in person near Nashville or live online.
Most people start on their own.
Starting on your own
Your spouse doesn’t have to agree to this or do a single thing. You work with your coach and a small group, and you change your part of the marriage, and when one person changes, everything after that starts to change too. Your seat at the Couples Workshop waits for the day your spouse is ready.
If your spouse is ready now
Then the two of you start with the three-day Couples Workshop, and you keep your coach after. It’s the same program, just a different first step.
See how starting together worksYou don’t have to figure out which one you are. The application does that with you.
Who we’re looking for.
Here’s the thing. I can’t want it for you more than you want it. Nobody can. So the people we work with best aren’t the ones with the easiest situation. They’re the ones who are ready to start with themselves.
This is for you if
- Your spouse has checked out, moved out, or said the word divorce, and you’re not ready to give up.
- There’s been an affair, or you’re afraid there is one.
- You want to start, even if your spouse never does a thing.
- You can give it two to three hours a week.
And honestly, some of the people who get the most out of it aren’t in a crisis at all. They tell us the same thing every time: I wish we’d known this five years ago.
It’s not the right fit if
- You’re not married.
- You’re waiting for your spouse to change first.
- You’re not safe at home, or you’re having thoughts of hurting yourself. Please get help first. These people can help right now.
When one person changes, everything after that starts to change too.

Now, a year and a half later, we are still together. We are making long-term plans, communicating more effectively, and connecting on a much deeper level. Whenever I reflect on the positive changes in our marriage, I feel immense gratitude for this organization.
Worked the course solo, then attended the couples 3 day workshop. The whole course is life changing for the better. The staff is above and beyond wonderful and empathetic, the founders are compassionate and caring.
Marriage Helper literally saved my life emotionally. They have taught me to start becoming my best self, and it has changed my life. Obviously the hope is to save your marriage, but this program changes your life in such a positive way whether you can reconcile or not.
What it costs.
I’d rather tell you the number here than surprise you on a call. This is a real investment, and it should be. The application asks whether it’s possible for you right now. Be honest with us. If it isn’t, we’ll point you to a real next step that is.

On your call, we’ll match you to the one that fits your marriage.
The questions people ask first.
Does my spouse have to do this with me?
No. Most people start on their own. A marriage is a cycle two people are stuck in, and when one person changes their part of it, everything after that starts to change. Your seat at the Couples Workshop waits until your spouse is ready.
Is it online? How much time does it take?
Everything is online except the Couples Workshop, and you can do that one in person in Spring Hill, Tennessee, just south of Nashville, or live online. Plan on two to three hours a week: a live class, a small group, and your coach.
My spouse is in an affair. Is this for me?
Yes. Affairs are one of the main things we have worked with for more than thirty years, including limerence, which Dr. Joe Beam has been teaching since 2006. You are not competing with the other person. The work is on your marriage, and on you.
Is it a religious program?
Marriage Helper was founded on faith, and it shapes how we care for people. But it is built for any marriage, we will never preach at you, and you are never asked to share our beliefs to be helped.
Why do I have to apply?
Because working with a coach is a real commitment, on your side and on ours. A real person reads every application, and we would rather find out with you whether this is the right fit before anybody spends a dollar.
What if the investment is not possible for me right now?
Tell us on the application. If it is not possible right now, we will send you to the Save My Marriage Course, the same teaching on your own time, and you can apply again when things change.
If this is you, I want you to apply.
If we’re not the right fit yet, we’ll tell you, and we’ll point you to what is.
