It's been estimated 3 out of 4 marriages are in trouble the day they start!

Great marriages don't just happen. Sadly, they don't happen very often, period.

It's hard not to get so caught up in the fairy tale atmosphere of the wedding that preparing for the realities of day-to-day married life is overlooked.

Unfortunately, this oversight leads to the infamous "Adjustment Period" which, as a minimum, causes discomfort and, when as severe as it often is, results in a disconnect many marriages don't survive.

You've given each other the key to your heart. Take time before your wedding to share the key to your happiness! We'll show you how, step-by-step and it will make all the difference in the world in how smoothly your transition to husband and wife goes.

Join the fabulous exceptions that grow happier and more in love each year.

From: Charlie Michaels, co-Author of “Mastering Marriage”

Dear Bride or Groom-To-Be,

You and your future spouse are happy and in love. You want to be together as much as possible. Wouldn’t it be glorious to wake up every morning for the rest of your lives and feel as lucky to be with each other as you do right now?

Isn’t this what all couples dream of?

Sadly most marriages don’t live up to the dream. Over half end in divorce and 4 out of 10 of the couples that stay together are not happily married. I cite these statistics not to scare you but to prompt you to action. Those results are heartbreaking but absolutely unnecessary.

Assuring success is easier before unexpected issues and misunderstandings occur which happens to every married couple. Some small, some large. Some sooner, some later. Some silly, some serious. Most can be avoided altogether by doing the right things before your wedding.

Couples spend a great deal of time preparing for their wedding, reception, and honeymoon, but the question that will determine whether your marriage will be everything you hope for is:

How effectively have you prepared for your
day-to-day married life after the honeymoon?

Just as you must prepare before the wedding to make it run smoothly, the very best time to assure your marriage will run smoothly is before you are married.

The problem is people think discussing their future means talking about where they will live and work and a few other obvious situations.

When you combine all this, you can see why so many people are disillusioned soon after they marry and why most marriages don’t last or, in time, are not satisfying.

Please don’t leave the success of the most
important relationship in your life to chance.

Most couples marry believing they will calmly and rationally address each problem and issue as it arises; that their love is strong enough to get them through anything. Big mistake.

Understand that all the people who divorce were happy and in love on their wedding days also and felt that same way. They were sure they would be joyful exceptions to the statistics.

Just as sad are the couples that stay unhappily married sharing an address not a life. A disheartening state of affairs indeed. They too started out with this same mistaken belief.

Most of the disappointments we suffer in our lives are not because the actual situation is so terrible but stem from the disillusionment that sets in when the reality differs from our expectations. This is true in marriage also.

Almost all of us have unrealistic impressions of marriage that developed over our lifetimes based on movies, TV, magazines and newspapers. In addition, not many people have given any real thought to what they personally expect and want from married life. They just get married.

A major cause of early differences that can grow into marriage-ending problems is that people did not merge what they each wanted from marriage into a shared dream and define how they would achieve it.

This isn’t because they didn’t care, surely they did, or because they were too busy.

The real reason is they simply didn’t know what to do.

Their plan for their future together was that they had no plan.

Be aware that living together doesn't really prepare you for marriage. The failure rate of those who lived together before marrying is higher than for those who don’t!

Even if you have had pre-marriage counseling, it is unlikely you will be aware of the day-to-day strategies we share.

My husband and I wrote Mastering Marriage for every couple who wants to grow happier and more in love each year. It details every idea we have used for 25 years to have a marriage that exceeds our wildest expectations and our expectations were lofty!

Without Proper Preparation, Most Marriages Will Fail.
Most Marriages Fail.

There is no better time to read about and implement our suggestions than before your wedding. It is much easier to get off on the right foot than to make adjustments after some conflict arises or after you have broken a rule you didn’t even know existed!

A little effort now can avoid situations that develop into problems that diminish or destroy marriages. This is better than putting a lot of effort later into attempting to smooth over a dispute after one of you is “right” and the other “wrong”.

You can be one of the happy exceptions and enjoy a strong, fulfilling marriage instead of ending up in a blah, unsatisfying marriage or divorce.

I know you’re busy but with a minimum of effort today, your marriage will be everything you hope for. There are pitfalls you can avoid and things you can do before you marry that will virtually assure your success.

A sampling of secrets you’ll uncover in Mastering Marriage:

• Step-by-step how to prepare your Emotional Prenuptial^TM, the most important document next to your marriage license and the key to your future happiness.
  
  
• The most effective communication technique ever and the key to making each other happy every day, in good times and bad.
  
  
• What each of you are doing daily that can cause disappointment almost immediately after you marry and what you can do, starting today, to prevent it.
  
  
• Strengthen your commitment to each other every day with three words more powerful than "I love you" and end any disagreement....almost before it begins.
  
  
• Mom's "magic words" are still magic in marriage.
  
  
• Your road to happiness will be smoother once you see through the “Mirage of Marriage” and avoid putting unrealistic demands on each other.
  
  
• Bend the Golden Rule so your spouse will always be happy to be married to you.
  
  
• The most important decisions you will make about sex and money, resolving two of the biggest areas of conflict in marriage.
  
  
• Why you shouldn’t treat each other like Mr. Potato Head^®.
  
  
• Discover that the harder you work to be the perfect spouse the more you can irritate your partner. Ouch!
  
  
• It's easy, fun and so wonderful to be one of the fabulous exceptions that grows more in love and happier to be married every year.

Share with each other the best wedding gift ever.
The secrets to to a GREAT marriage.

 

You will never get a second chance to
start your marriage off right.

Mike and I are ordinary people with an extraordinary gift to share with you: the clues to growing happier and more in love throughout your marriage.

Believe me, we didn’t start out as likely candidates to be writing a book on this topic. My dating history ran from comical to sad to pathetic. At my high school graduation dinner, my classmates named me “the person most likely to have her love life made into a soap opera.” And that was before things got bad!

Ultimately, I was angry, hurt and both hated men and needed their approval. I lacked positive role models and had no apparent relationship skills. I am bossy, demanding, strong willed, impatient, intolerant of nonsense and a perfectionist. I also have many positive traits, I’m sure.

Mike went to an all boys’ high school and admits to being backwards and awkward with women. He has an explosive temper, is bossy, argumentative, strong willed, work obsessed, impatient, intolerant of nonsense and a perfectionist. His need to excel at work caused him to put in long hours at the office and destroyed his first marriage even though he admits he had a good wife.

Back then, we were emotionally challenged. Mike’s divorce devastated him and I, though never married, had perfected the art of selecting unsuitable partners.

Because we lucky enough to listen to and implement advice given to us before we were married by a couple that had been happily married for 50 years at the time, we have been happier than we thought possible and, based on our personality traits, this is no small feat. They were a minor challenge, however, compared to the situations we have persevered through over the years.

A failed business, near bankruptcy, living out of our car for a year, a twelve year remodeling project, my eight year bout with clinical depression and giving my mother hospice care for the last six months of her life are the short list.

Despite facing these and other obstacles that could have destroyed a weaker marriage, we have never felt the slightest threat to our relationship.

We will help you make your marriage just as impervious to whatever life throws at you and you will enjoy doing it!

Everyone starts out expecting a wonderful marriage but few know exactly how to accomplish that elusive goal. I believe that if you want to know how be happily married listen to a couple that’s been happily married for many years which is what we did.

Based on statistics, most of you aren’t going to know many people that fit that description. Even if you do, how many do you feel comfortable asking details of how they handle sex, money and other issues in their relationship? What to do.

It’s Simple.
You want to be happily married.
We show couples how to be happily married.

Our suggestions will make your life together better; the more of them you incorporate into your daily life, the happier you will be. If you follow them all you will be happier than you can imagine.

Take heart, years ago we didn't have a clue how to prepare for marriage either.

We are committed to help others just as we were helped many years ago by sharing advice literally forced upon me by Mr. Ken Burley, a business consultant to my company. He told me he could tell that I had met the man I was going to marry and he wanted to give me some advice.

I barely knew him but I listened because I wanted to talk about my spouse after 50 years of marriage with the love in Ken's voice. We are forever in his debt. Based on all we’ve faced over the years, his simple suggestion is the cornerstone that has made all the difference between success and failure for us.

Once we understood you could take charge of your future, we built on that foundation and developed the other strategies we share in our book.

We have lived happier than we thought possible without resentments, disputes or even serious arguments. I say serious because, not wanting to burst any bubbles, we still have disagreements and occasionally “Mellow” Mike will lose his temper.

We have overcome numerous marriage threatening challenges together without any threat to our relationship. You can too by learning habits that will keep you happily married and sustain a lifelong love affair.

Begin building your future, today.

I hope I have convinced you that you can benefit from the experience of others just as we did many years ago, even if you don’t think you need it. Most people feel they will be the happy exceptions. Millions make that mistake every year. Whether it is our advice or that of someone else who has a great marriage, please don’t let your marriage just "evolve." The odds are heavily against success.

Even if you’re one of the fortunate few to be raised in a home where your parents openly loved each other and had a marriage to emulate, I'll bet that you have no idea how they accomplished it. You saw the façade not the foundation. Even if they are willing, they probably will not be able to tell you exactly how they have done it. More than likely they belong to that very small and very lucky group that somehow survives the “trial and error method of marriage.”
Not a good approach.

We have been happily married for 25 years. Mike did it wrong and now he’s done it right. Our success is not luck. It is the direct result of the strategies we learned, developed and implemented throughout our marriage and share in our book.

We offer the perspective of both wife and husband but we don’t have you create our idea of a great marriage. We help you realize the unique marriage dreams the two of you envision and give you strategies that will accomplish your goals not ours.

A few hours to learn simple techniques you can start applying before the wedding and in those first few months of marriage, will assure that you will thrive not just survive, that each of you will get what you hope for from your relationship, that you will be happily married and that your love and respect for each other will grow stronger no matter what life throws at you.

You have nothing to lose and a lifetime of happiness to gain.

From: Charlie Michaels, co-Author of “Mastering Marriage”

Dear Newlywed,

Mike and I are ordinary people with an extraordinary gift to share with you: the clues to growing happier and more in love throughout your marriage.

You and your spouse are happy and in love. Wouldn’t it be glorious to wake up every morning for the rest of your life and feel as lucky to be with your partner as you do right now?

Since this is what all couples dream of, why do so few achieve it?

Can you imagine the outcome of your wedding and reception if your big day had “evolved” without any preparation? Even if chaos had not prevailed, the likelihood that your wedding would have been remotely as you’d dreamed is nil.

You prepared for your wonderful day,
now prepare for your wonderful life!

Assuring success is easiest before unexpected issues and misunderstandings occur which happens to every married couple. Some small, some large. Some sooner, some later. Some silly, some serious.

You are probably experiencing that early “Adjustment Period” virtually every couple suffers through. Unfortunately, many don’t make it but you can minimize your discomfort by doing certain things as soon as possible.

Without Proper Preparation, Most Marriages Will Fail.
Most Marriages Fail.

The problem is people don’t even know you can lay an impenetrable foundation for a marriage, let alone how. When we ask if they prepared for marriage like they did for their wedding, most couples ask us “What do you mean?”

It is easy to understand why so many people are disillusioned soon after they marry and why most marriages don’t last or in time are not satisfying.

Most people believe their marriage will survive by addressing each problem and issue as it arises, that their love is strong enough to get them through anything. Big mistake.

All the couples who get divorced were happy and in love on their wedding day and felt they would be joyful exceptions to the statistics.

Just as sad those unhappy couples that remain married but share only an address not a life. An utterly disheartening state of affairs indeed. They too started out with this same mistaken belief.

Don’t think that if you lived together before you married you are immune. The failure rate of those who did is even higher than for those who didn’t.

The honeymoon doesn’t have to end....ever!

Most of the disappointments we suffer in our lives are not because the actual situation is so terrible but instead stem from the disillusionment that sets in when the reality differs from our expectations. This is true in marriage also.

The truth is they simply didn’t know what to do.

Their plan for their future together was that they had no plan. Take heart, years ago we too had no clue how to plan for marriage.

Even if you had pre-marriage counseling by the clergy or a marriage professional, they will not have covered the day to day strategies we share.

From: Charlie Michaels, co-Author of “Mastering Marriage”

Dear Friend Of The Bride or Groom,

Mike and I are ordinary people with an extraordinary gift to share with your special couple: the clues to growing happier and more in love throughout their marriage.

Their honeymoon doesn’t have to end....ever!

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if the newlyweds could wake up every morning for the rest of their lives and feel as lucky to be with their partner as they do right now?

Most people spend a great deal of time preparing for their wedding but simply allow their marriage to “evolve” haphazardly through time. Can you imagine the outcome of a wedding and reception if they had just “evolved” without preparation? Even if chaos had not prevailed, the likelihood that the day would have been remotely as dreamed about is nil.

It's true of the wedding, it's true of the marriage.

By Preparing For Their Wedding, They'll Enjoy A Wonderful Day
But
By Preparing For Their Marriage, They'll Enjoy A Wonderful Life!

When we ask if they prepared for their marriage like they did for their wedding most couples ask us “What do you mean?”

It is easy to understand why so many people are disillusioned soon after they marry and why most marriages don’t last or in time are not satisfying. Most couple start marriage with no plan.

When they wed, most people believe their marriage will survive by addressing each problem and issue as it arises, that their love is strong enough to get them through anything. Big mistake.

All the couples who end up divorced were happy and in love on their wedding day and felt that same way. That they would be joyful exceptions to the statistics.

In our minds, even worse than divorce are those unhappy couples that remain married but share only an address not a life. An utterly disheartening state of affairs indeed. They too started out with this same mistaken belief.

Show how much you care by not leaving the success of
the most important relationship in their life to chance.

Most of the disappointments we suffer in our lives are not because the actual situation is so terrible but instead stem from the disillusionment that sets in when the reality differs from our expectations. This is true in marriage also.

Almost all of us had unrealistic impressions of marriage that developed over our lifetimes based on movies, TV, magazines and newspapers. In addition, most people don’t give any real thought as to what they personally expect and want from married life. They just get married.

We believe the major cause of the early differences that can grow into marriage- ending problems is that people did not properly prepare for being married. This isn’t because they didn’t care, because surely they did, or because they were so busy, which they probably were.

The truth is they simply didn’t know what to do.

Even if your couple had pre-marriage counseling, they will not have been exposed to the day-to-day strategies we share.

My husband and I wrote Mastering Marriage for every couple who wants to grow happier and more in love each year. It details every idea we have used for 25 years to have a marriage that exceeds our wildest expectations and our expectations were lofty!

The sooner they read and implement our suggestions the better. It is much easier to avoid a disagreement than to make adjustments after some conflict arises or after they have somehow broken a rule they didn’t even know existed!

A little effort now can avoid situations that develop into problems that diminish or destroy marriages. This is better than putting a lot of effort later into attempting to smooth over a dispute after one of them is “right” and the other “wrong”.

The result is a glowing marriage instead of a blah marriage or divorce.

With a minimum of effort today, their marriage will be everything they hope for. There are pitfalls they can avoid and things they can do that will assure success.

A sampling of secrets they’ll uncover in Mastering Marriage:

• Exactly how to prepare their Marriage Pact ^TM, the most important document next to their license and the foundation for their future happiness.
  
  
• What each of them is doing right now that will cause disillusionment after they marry and what they can do starting immediately to prevent it.
  
  
• How to strengthen their commitment to each other every day with three words more powerful than "I love you and end any disagreement..almost before it begins.
  
  
• Mom's "magic words" are still magic in marriage.
  
  
• The most effective communication technique ever and the key to making each other happy every day, in good times and bad.
  
  
• Bending the Golden Rule, means they'll have a better marriage.
  
  
• They will discover that the harder they work to be the perfect spouse the more they may irritate their partner. Ouch!
  
  
• Why not to treat each other like Mr. Potato Head^®.
  
  
• The most important decisions to make about sex and money resolving two of the biggest areas of conflict in marriage.
  
  
• Their life together will be smoother once they see through the “Mirage of Marriage” and avoid putting unrealistic demands on each other.
  
  
• They will become one of the fabulous exceptions that grow more in love and happier to be married each year.
  
  

Assuring marital success is easiest before unexpected issues and misunderstandings occur which happens to every married couple. Some small, some large. Some sooner, some later. Some silly, some serious.

Without Proper Preparation, Most Marriages Will Fail.
Most Marriages Fail.

We help couples stay happily married for life.

Believe me, we didn’t start out as likely candidates to be writing a book on this topic. My dating history ran from comical to sad to really pathetic. I am bossy, demanding, strong willed, impatient, intolerant of nonsense and a perfectionist. I also have many positive traits, I’m sure.

Mike has an explosive temper, is bossy, argumentative, strong willed, work obsessed, impatient, intolerant of nonsense and a perfectionist. His need to excel at work caused him to put in long hours at the office and destroyed his first marriage.

In spite of this, we have been happier than we thought possible for 25 years and, based on our personality traits, this is no small feat. They were a minor challenge, however, when compared to the situations we have persevered through together over the years.

A failed business, near bankruptcy, living out of our car for a year, a twelve year remodeling project, my eight year bout with clinical depression and giving my mother hospice care for the last six months of her life are the short list.

Despite facing these and other obstacles that could have destroyed a weaker marriage, we have never felt a threat to our relationship and we will help make your newlywed’s marriage just as impervious to what life throws at them. And they will have fun doing it!

Everyone starts out expecting a wonderful marriage but few know exactly how to accomplish that elusive goal. I believe that if you want to know how be happily married it’s best to listen to a couple that’s been happily married for many years like we did.

Help them avoid future problems by guiding
their marriage in the right direction today.

Our suggestions will make their life together better; the more they incorporate into their daily life, the happier they will be. If they follow them all, they will be happier than they can imagine. What other gift can accomplish all this?

We want to help others just as we were helped many years ago by sharing advice we received before we got married, from a man that had been happily married for 50 years at the time. Following his simple suggestion has made the difference between success and failure for us and we are forever in his debt.

Once we understood that you could take charge of your future, we built on that foundation and developed other strategies and detail them in our book.

We have lived happier than we thought possible without resentments, disputes or even serious arguments. I say serious because, not wanting to burst any bubbles, we still have disagreements and occasionally “Mellow” Mike will lose his temper.

Together, we have overcome numerous challenges without any threat to our relationship. They can do the same by learning habits that will keep them happy and sustain a lifelong love affair by building a partnership where each of them gets what they want.

You Cannot Give A More Thoughtful Gift

I hope I have convinced you that your special couple can benefit from the experience of others just as we did many years ago.

We have been happily married for 25 years. Mike did it wrong and now he’s done it right. Our success is not luck. It is the direct result of the strategies we learned, developed and implemented throughout our marriage and share in our book.

We offer the perspective of both wife and husband but we don’t try to have them create our idea of a great marriage but help them realize the marriage dreams they envision. We give them strategies that will accomplish their goals not ours.

In a few hours, they will learn simple techniques they can start applying at once that will assure that they will thrive not just survive, that each of them will get what they want from their relationship and, more importantly, that their love and respect for each other will grow stronger no matter what life throws at them.

Great Marriages Don’t Just happen.
