I am in no way a marriage counselor or therapist – but often times during the course of the time I spend with moms, different aspects of an unhappy marriage surfaces and I am let into a world which is painful, frustrating and often times a result of a communication breakdown. I can certainly listen, pray with and for the mom and her marriage but honestly have felt helpless. I know counseling is very helpful, but it requires scheduled time away from the home, can be quite expensive and can be too uncomfortable and intimidating.
With the post yesterday on Communicating for Better Intimacy, I thought it was perfect timing to share with you a great resource if you in fact need some help in your marriage or perhaps know someone who is struggling right now.
Introducing “Blow Up My Marriage”
You may already know Dr. Corey Allan and his site Simple Marriage. I’m a monthly columnist on the site and was thrilled when I was given the chance to be a part of the community he has gathered. I had been a follower of his site for quite sometime and I feel he has a wealth of information and knowledge to share and has a true heart to see other people’s marriage THRIVE! Corey is a professional marriage and family therapist as well as a Ph.D. and a very humble family orientated guy!
Corey has shared with the Simple Marriage Community about some of the things you’ll learn in this series:
- How to create the best marriage from your strengths, not by looking at what’s wrong.
- How to see that it’s the relationship that’s the issue, not you or your spouse.
- Why you never want to lean on your spouse.
- How to create a great life and have your marriage be the icing on the cake.
- And, how to transform your sex life.
Sounds good, huh? You can read about more of the details of the course over at his site. If you are wondering if it could be something for you, well here is Corey’s intended audience for Blow Up My Marriage:
- are constantly fighting
- have experienced a betrayal via an emotional affair
- have a spouse caught up in pornography usage
- are in a monotonous marriage
- consider themselves a Nice Guy or Nice Girl
- are gridlocked on several issues in the relationship
If this sounds like something you or a friend or loved one could benefit from, from I highly recommend you check out this course. The course is limited to a number of participants to ensure he gives adequate attention to each individual/couple that signs up, so you need to sign up as soon as you decide to participate to avoid missing out. The registration is also only open this week since the course gets started next Monday, August 30th, and he just added a great payment option you will want to check out!
This may in fact be the turning point from having a marriage that is heart breaking to a marriage that is all that God intended it to be. Don’t procrastinate another day, check it out and see if this could be an answer to prayer for you or a friend.
Corey also has a great ebook, A Simple Marriage that you can purchase for a discount for a limited time, as well as a MP3 on Communication in Marriage
