The programs we offer are online, self-help programs – they’re not therapy.

And our results show that they’re just as effective (or nearly as effective, depending on the study) as in-person marriage counseling.

If you and your partner complete a program as part of the research study, you may have an initial call with a coach. Additionally, you may be randomly assigned to have three more coach calls as you move through the program. You can schedule those calls during the day, during the evening, or on the weekend. In those calls, your coach will help you apply the skills and lessons you learned in the online activities to your relationship. Unfortunately, we do not currently have coaches available for our programs that are not part of the research study.

Each program was designed to be completed in about two months, taking roughly 7-8 hours’ time. If you or your partner expects to be very stressed, busy, or out of town for a long time in the next couple of months, it might be a better idea to wait to start the program.
