I love marriage helper… It’s helped me so much internally with myself and also in my marriage. I still hope to be able to attend to one of your workshops someday but in the meantime, watching your videos is so heartwarming and relaxing and makes me always feel hopeful to keep bettering myself in my marriage. I have the ‘save my marriage’ course and I loved it ❤ thank you Dr. Beam and thank you Kimberly, and all the coaches from this program, you guys are amazing!
My wife and I are separated under the same roof. It’s been almost a month now, and I have made some serious personal growth. We are almost night and day different from where we were a month ago. We’ve decided we will wait until April to see if Marriage Counseling is an option (basically to see if my change is for real) but I’ve had some kind of mental/physical/spiritual switch, and I feel like a new person.
Our first marriage counselor sided with me, of which my wife wasn’t a fan, so that ended after two sessions. Our second one was great, but we still had issues before finding Marriage Helper 🥳
Our first marriage counselor was quite helpful, but we weren't in crisis at the time. Years later we were in crisis and went to see a second counselor. This counselor was going to help us work through divorce. Thankfully I found Marriage Helper shortly after finding the second counselor. It changed my life. Today, we have been reconciled for over 6 years and I actively volunteer with Marriage Helper in the Facebook group facebook.com/groups/783603618395431/.
Marriage Helper is like physical therapy for my marriage. MH gave me tools to use to improve myself and make marriage stronger. Wish I had found MH years ago! Past therapist were useless.
Several years ago a couple at our church went to a marriage counselor when the husband, a lawyer, decided he didn't wish to be married any longer. He told his wife he was ready to get out right after their honeymoon. She was devastated! They have three children, the oldest being 13 years of age at the time. The wife said their female marriage counselor not only sided with her husband, but was also blatantly fawning over him. He divorced his wife, and not long after, married his secretary. It was very sad.............
During the course of our 20+ years of marriage struggles, we have seen six different marriage, counselors, five of whom assumed from the outset that I was the cause of our marriage problems because I was a male. In the case of our last counselor, his bias was subtle at first, grew to be obvious, and then was blatant toward the end. He lied to me several times to cover for my wife when she broke agreements we had made in counseling, and came up with the most ridiculous explanations for our marriage issues in his attempt to pin the blame on me, meanwhile, ignoring obvious family of origin issues and even mild personality disorders on the part of my wife. I have counseled scores of couples, myself in pastoral counseling, and I frequently hear the complaint of anti-male bias among counselors. It seems to be endemic.

This is so soo true !
I've had first hand experiences with such counselors, who in the form help, do more damage.
