SECRETS to SAVE MY MARRIAGE review

Hey there, my name is Eric Kuhl, and welcome to my Save My Marriage Today review site.

You're reading my no-holds-barred review of what I really think about the Save My Marriage Today system. This isn't the official site...if you're looking for the Save My Marriage Today system then click here.

I'll be talking about both the good and the bad in this review, if you're looking for an impartial review that gives both sides, you've come to the right place…

I decided to review this system because people have been raving about it all over the internet and I wanted to see for myself what it was like.

Here are some of the comments I found...

"After years of misgivings we are happy that we joined Save My Marriage and we worked it out and stayed together. We will celebrate our 27th anniversary this year!"

"Thanks Save My Marriage Today for a wonderful website and for helping me get my marriage back on track!"

"Before I came across your book, my marriage was in serious danger of heading towards divorce. Now we are in a better place than we ever were before. Thank you so much!"

"The biggest benefit I have gained from “Save My Marriage Today” was perspective. I needed clarity and hope and “Save My Marriage Today” gave me that. "

So, I decided to find out for myself what the system was about. Signing up takes just a few minutes and you get instant access, which I like. I don't like having to wait for stuff to be shipped to me.

After spending a few minutes reviewing their system, I was concerned.

I can't reveal the specific techniques they promised would yield immensely satisfying results for practically improving relationships, but I felt overwhelmed with the amount of material.

The type size of some of the documents was smaller than I liked, but that meant that they packed a lot of concise information into their product without any fluff or unusable knowledge. And, at first, I wasn't sure if the course would do what it promised.

Luckily, that wasn't the case...

They had a FREE report available called "The 6 Most Common Reasons for Divorce…and How to Stop Them from Happening to You," which reveals what to do if love is gone in your marriage or how to grow back together again as a couple.

Here are some other helpful things I discovered on how to strengthen a failing relationship in the course:

  • Tips on how to rescue your marriage
  • How to reintroduce passion
  • How to repair your marriage after an affair
  • Self assessment
  • Gestures are more important than words

You get the idea…

Of course, the Save My Marriage Today system is not perfect. I was determined to dig up all the "dirt" I could for you.

Here are a couple of drawbacks I found...

One drawback is that Amy says you can implement some of her techniques by yourself, even if your spouse could care less about your marriage, and refuses to do anything to save it. I don't know about you, but in my mind, it takes two to make a relationship work, so I would think you'd want your spouse on board with you in the reconciliation process.

Another complaint is that you aren't able to get direct one-on-one contact with Amy unless you buy her consulting services (which costs $120+ per hour) but you do receive a free consultation that gives you real advice for your specific situation by email.

Overall, I'm impressed by the Save My Marriage Today system. It is one of the most comprehensive marriage-saving courses I have ever seen. There are tons of simple, easy strategies for solving almost any marital conflict that you can implement starting today, even if you think your marriage is beyond hope. Click here to find out more.*

Thanks for reading my review.

Signed,
Eric

Proven Secrets to Making Your Marriage Last

Remember the honeymoon stage of your marriage, when it seemed that your spouse could do no wrong? That state of bliss - while it may not last forever - can become the hallmark of your relationship, with just a little bit of effort.

I'm going to reveal to you three things that can make or break your relationship, explain what you can do to make your marriage a blessing instead of a curse, and how to make small changes that have a big impact.

Secret #1: Listen to Each Other

Communication may very well be the number one ingredient in making your marriage last. Without it, there's not much of a relationship. It involves not just acknowledging what the other person said, but listening to your spouse. Now, I didn't say "hearing" what the other person said, which involves the ability to repeat the words that came from your spouse's lips.

Listening means actually being plugged in to the conversation and interacting with your spouse. A characteristic of those that listen to each other includes asking follow-up questions that clarify or dig deeper on the particular topic of your discussion.

Secret #2: Admit When You're Wrong

At today's hurried pace, everyone has their own career and life; people seem to be set on making things happen, often with little concern for others. That may be true in your marriage, as well.

Being able to admit WHEN, not IF, you're wrong to your spouse can be a technique that helps to keep the peace. This is another key ingredient for a successful marriage, the ability to admit fault, or when you've made a mistake.

And, men, that goes beyond just admitting you're lost and asking for directions.

If you're stubborn and always think you're right, then, by default your spouse is always wrong. When you humble yourself and confess that you do have faults, make mistakes, and apologize when and where appropriate, you set the precedent for a gracious relationship that honors and respects each other.

Secret #3: Seek to Meet Your Spouse's Needs

The next key ingredient to making your marriage last is to seek to meet your spouse's needs. So often in a relationship, each spouse is looking to the other to get his or her needs met. Though it may seem counter cultural or it may go against your instinct, make the effort to go from selfish to selfless.

You may want to try not putting the emphasis on what your spouse can do for you. Instead, consider what you can do for your husband or wife and then act on the specific ways you can meet his or her needs.

Marriages that are encouraging and nurturing often have spouses that put the other's needs before their own. That doesn't mean you have to be a doormat, obviously. But when your behavior and words make it clear to your partner that their needs and concerns are top priority to you, a great dynamic comes into play.

You find your own needs getting met, naturally. Now, wouldn't this be an effective tool for your marriage? Granted, it will take a bit of work, especially if you're used to you being the #1 customer, so to speak.

Secrets to having a successful marriage, one that is a blessing and not a curse, are not nearly as complex as you would think.

Listening to each other, the ability to admit when you're wrong, and seeking to meet your spouse's needs - while not rocket science - are key ingredients, that, when practiced regularly, can go a long way toward making even the most hopeless relationships both rewarding and wonderful.

Eliminating Tension in Marriage: Tips For Winning the War Without Firing a Shot

There are always times in marriage where you're not only profoundly disappointed but deeply hurt. You may see your marriage as a battleground, where you and your spouse are armed combatants who routinely engage in conflicts that have long-lasting negative consequences.

Sometimes, you just can't avoid being hurt. When those times occur, there are certain things you can do to win the war behind the scenes, without firing a single shot. And no, I don't meet something that ends in a hollow victory.

If your spouse has hurt you, whether in words or in deeds, you don't have to strike back; it's your choice. When you decide not to retaliate, you'll dissipate the bitterness, resentment or negative interactions that your relationship has been exposed to in the past.

Instead, here are a few suggestions for how you can take care of you when that happens. And before you write these off, consider carefully how far you could go in maintaining a peaceful marriage if you implement just one of them on a regular basis.

Take a hot bath or shower.

This first idea may not seem to be anything earth shattering. What we're trying to accomplish here is to remove you from the scene of the crime before it happens. By that I mean that you could choose to withdraw from an argument or conflict before you say or do something hurtful to your spouse.

When you jump in the shower or take a hot bath, you've not only removed yourself from the situation, but you are giving yourself the gift of relaxation after an otherwise stressful or anxiety-inducing interaction with your spouse. You will then be able to let your anger simmer down so that you can think clearly and decide what to do or think next.

Blow off steam by working out.

A step removed from the shower idea is to leave the house entirely. Don't do it in a huff, by slamming doors or going off half-cocked, simply gather your things and head to the gym for a workout.

Whether you spend 20 minutes on the treadmill or an hour pumping weights, you'll be able to channel your anger or frustration into something productive: working out. This will likely cause your negative emotions to dissipate and putting you in a better frame of mind for when you see your spouse again at home.

Talk to a friend you can trust for feedback or insight.

If you're really bothered by what happened between you and your spouse, and you don't feel like a hot bath or going to the gym, get out of the house to meet a friend. Or at least go someplace where you can't be bothered and call someone you can trust on the phone.

Hopefully that friend is someone special who can just listen, and hear your heart. Perhaps you want to get their feedback or insight or see what they would do in this situation if your friend was in your place.

Part of the solution is to simply get yourself into a calmer state of mind so you can think more clearly and become a better communicator. Remember, you spouse is not your enemy.

Simple Steps to Sanity: How to Deal With a Controlling Spouse When All You Want to Do is Scream

A healthy marriage involves a couple who comes together as one, but retain their independent identities in the context of a unified relationship.

Unfortunately, in an unhealthy relationship, usually the stronger partner dominates, and can often rule the marriage, sometimes with an iron fist. This can cause bitterness, anger, and resentment on the part of the less-dominant spouse, which can result in division. However, the problem may never come to the surface because they're less likely to say anything to maintain the peace.

If you're tired of being pushed around in your relationship and would love to know what to do about it, I've got answers for you.

Here are three things you can start doing today to assert yourself and deal with a controlling spouse.

  • Don't stay silent: express yourself appropriately.
No one I know likes to be controlled or manipulated. You may feel that your opinion never gets expressed, that your spouse never listens, and your needs are so far from getting met that you wonder why you're still a part of your marriage.

Now is the time for you to start standing up for yourself. This may not be comfortable for you, especially if your spouse is domineering and believes that his or her way is the right way or the highway. They're never wrong, in their opinion, but you know better. Start by telling your spouse how you feel about a situation.

You may have to be bold and express your disagreement about something. You may need to pass on how you feel and let your wife or husband deal with it. Either way, don't stay silent.

  • Refuse to be bullied or manipulated.
Your spouse may not react well to you being assertive or expressing yourself, but again, hold your ground. If you need to, restate your feelings or opinion. Don't allow them to bully you or attempt to shame you into doing what they want. Refuse to give up.

Perhaps you'll need to say to your spouse, "I don't think I'm making myself clear," or "Here's what I mean." This will go far in changing the dynamic of your relationship and give you a better chance for getting what you want.

  • Allow for some give and take when needed.
In a healthy relationship, neither spouse always gets what he or she wants. There is always give and take. One night you can watch the kids, another night, your spouse will take on that responsibility. That's the way it's supposed to work.

If your relationship has been largely lopsided, where you've done one thing and one thing only-what your spouse wants, that definitely needs to change. Don't be afraid to compromise, by agreeing to do what your spouse wants now, in exchange for doing what you want to do later. Then when, later comes, make sure to remind your partner of your previous agreement.

The Particularly Passionate, Truly Tasteful Married Couple's Guide to the Bedroom

Your behavior outside the bedroom may have more of an influence on your relationship than you would expect.

What I mean is, if you take a more holistic view of sex - mainly, that sex begins in the kitchen or when you build intimacy in ways other than sex - you may very well find yourself being rewarded beyond your wildest imagination. This article will discuss three DO's and DON'Ts for sexually satisfied couples.

Don't: always begin with sex.

Do: be open to sex in the kitchen.

Sex begins in the kitchen, as they say. What that means is that when you focus on your relationship outside the bedroom by developing a meaningful non-sexual bond first, having a great sexual relationship should naturally follow.

How can you meet your wife's needs outside the bedroom?

Listening to what she has to say, expressing caring concern, and communicating that you love her come to mind. And how about your husband? Men need to know they're respected. However, the quickest way to a man's heart may very well be through sexual acts. We seem to be quick to forgive and forget when we're satisfied in a sexual manner.

Don't: just focus on you.

Do: be sensitive.

You may want to start slowly by warming up to each other first. Take time to talk or kiss. Keep in mind that men are usually like microwaves (fast cooking) and women, crockpots (slow cookers), and you should be alright. Be careful not to always try to sway your spouse to how you'd prefer to do things in the bedroom.

Instead, try things his or her way at times, then try it the way you like it at other times. While some partners may relish the physical act of sex itself along with the self-gratifying end result, sharing sexual intimacy where both partners are mutually satisfied is far more intimate.

Don't: be demanding.

Do: be realistic.

While guys wouldn't mind having sex every day (or several times each day, for that matter), women tend to need it far less. Maybe this is true in your marriage, maybe not. Whatever is realistic for your relationship, be reasonable.

Perhaps each week you could set aside a date night where you are both physically and emotionally intimate, a plan that would involve meeting the needs of both spouses. Though this may be hard to do - with children around - it's not impossible. Be creative.

3 Keys to Her Heart: How to Break Through the Barriers When All Hope Seems Lost

Your marriage is over and there's little, if any, hope of reconciliation, at least as far as your spouse is concerned.

Yet, whatever has gone on in the past, chances are you can overcome it, if you follow my three C's of recovering your relationship: commitment, communication, and consistency.

By and large, men have short attention spans, especially when it comes to commitment. If they can't get something, say a chainsaw, to work, they'll try what they know to fix it, then move on to something else.

While relationships are a far cry from electric power tools in desperate need of repair, sometimes you can take that same approach to your wife. You don't know what to do to "fix it," and you just get more and more frustrated trying, so you eventually give up.

Whether you're separated, not on speaking terms, or suffering from the average tension present in most marriages, tell your wife you're absolutely committed to making your relationship work, no matter what.

Then, get to work. See a counselor, get outside help, do whatever it takes, and no matter how tough it gets, don't give up. When she sees the evidence that you're really, truly trying, perhaps she'll come around as well.

Another key to your wife's heart is communication, or more specifically, listening.

While not every guy is like Tim "the tool man" Taylor responding to questions with short grunts or nods, and is otherwise silent - women want more. They want to share how their day went, talk about their feelings, plan the future, you get the idea.

And you? You just want to finish watching the ballgame. Actively listening to your wife will help her realize that she (and thus your relationship) is very important to her.

So, when you pause for a commercial break, tell her that you really want to give her your full attention and talk in depth after the game. Better yet, stop what you're doing, record the rest of the game and talk right then and there.

Beware that a few isolated instances of behavioral change may do more harm than good, so you'll want to make a permanent habit of whatever changes you choose to implement.

Despite the rocky road of your marital past, being consistent in your actions could eventually make a believer out of your wife, and may cause her to rethink getting separated or divorced.

Without consistency, as far as she's concerned, you've got a couple of behavioral anomalies that may have been just flukes, as opposed to positive signs of renewed life.

In order to obtain the keys to your wife's heart and begin the healing process in your marriage, try these three things:

  1. make a commitment to get your marriage back on track
  2. actively communicate
  3. be consistent in your actions

Sure, you've hurt each other. However, when you persevere in your application of the 3 C's to recovering your relationship, you may just see it turn around at a time you never though it possible.
