Absolutely works
This is an early review as I've just started it but I can tell you this is when you need it the most! In the early stages of the actual marriage crisis, the sooner you employ the program the better. Most of us aren't going to do anything until one spouse is literally heading out the door. For me this was the case. My wife was moving out whether I wanted her to or not. I ordered Marriage Fitness and chose the lone ranger track. I had 2 days to dive in before her move. My first instinct would have been to lash out, fight, try to stop her from leaving. And if not for Mort I would have done all of those things, making the situation worse by behaving badly and regretting things I said and did later. I likely would have lost contact with her for weeks or months. But in the short time I had with the program I decided to just use Mort as my co-pilot. I found the pre-recorded Q&A's an absolute treasure trove of instantly applicable info. Instead of taking off for the weekend while she moved, or having a big blow out fight, I actually helped her do it. Mort doesn't recommend separation but she was moving regardless so I took Mort's words to heart and lived them. I used the time together during the move as an opportunity to connect. I made sure she knew I didn't agree with it, but I was helping her because I loved her. I was shocked to find that we really connected during. I packed a lot of things for her and found a lot of ways to "give" during the process. Little thoughtful things that made it easier for her. It wasn't fun and it was a very brutal pill to swallow, but we did it together and I stayed consistent in a loving, helpful attitude throughout. The results? The day before the move she hated me and wanted no contact and no reconciliation possible. The day after the move she's done a complete 180. The separation is now temporary and she's hopeful we can work things out. We're talking and even laughing and joking around. I feel closer to her today than I have in a long time. And most of all instead of feeling the huge loss and rejection of losing your spouse, I actually feel hopeful and energized to get to work on us. I'm blown away by the simplicity of this and can't thank Mort enough!
