Stay away from Mort Fertel

I was so hopeful. Studying the materials was absolutely excruciating for the betrayed. The betrayer loved it. He read most of it, we studied together and he was continuing to cheat the whole time. All this is is justification and no responsibility for the cheater. The betrayed is not to talk about it, no questions, just let it go… please stay away from mort Fertel for your own mental health. He is NOT the answer. He just takes advantage of desperately hurt people whe desperately want a solution

PROTECT yourself. This is dangerous.

This philosophy is highly damaging and dangerous, especially for those heading for divorce. Ensure you have a very good lawyer and protect the financial and legal standing of yourself and your children, instead of giving an opportunity to a cheater and abuser to take advantage of you and cause more emotional damage.
I sent lots of money on coaches and course itself.

I found this program and was so hopeful…

I found this program and was so hopeful that it could save my 28 year marriage. I was blindsided by my husband's affair at our mutual workplace. I listened religiously and begged him to listen too. But what I found was that this program gives the cheater a pathway and a safe space to continue their destructive choices. Our marriage didn't survive my husband's outrageous infidelity because (his and Mort's words) I wanted to "talk about the problem". You're damn right I did. The program had no accountability for him and assumed he was emotionally healthy. In his words our marriage was over because of “how I reacted” What a crock of crap. There are some gems of good advice in the program when I was just so lost early on that brought me alot of comfort but if you're dealing with an entitled cheater who is not-remorseful, abusive and blames you, you are done. Overall, this program blamed shifted somewhat to make ME seem like I caused my cheater husband to destroy our marriage and beautiful family. This gave him license to tell the kids this too and have them blame me as well! Maybe this could work for some who have a normal remorseful emotionally mature spouse but when you’re dealing with a continual liar who won’t give full disclosure, is not remorseful, won’t acknowledge your pain, continues on with the affair partner, blames you, the deal is over, you can not save a person like that.

If it wasn't for stumbling across an add for Mort Fertel one early morning, when I was in the absolute most pain and feared for my marriage, I don't think I would be where I am today - rebuilding my marriage and family even better than it was before. I started with the Marriage Fitness online bootcamp and it saved me. Mort's videos gave me the tools and encouragement I needed to get through some of my darkest days. Thank you!

MARRIAGE FITNESS WORKS!

For three years our marriage has benefited so much from the five audio files I purchased from Mort Fertel's Marriage Fitness program. I listened to each one twice and took notes.
I've put so much of his advice into motion and did 90% of all the Marriage Fitness homework assignments through his email subscription. Thank you to Mort's team of experts and wonderful staff for making marriages work!

A Great Blessing to My Marriage

In 2013, three years into my marriage, I loved my wife dearly, but I was still failing as a husband — I needed to work on myself. As I learned from Mr. Fertel, I needed to truly put love first, to consistently put my wife before my relatives and before my work — not just in words, but also in actions.

I am convinced that G-d led me to Mr. Fertel’s Marriage Fitness program just in time. I started in the Lone Ranger track, and as I learned to strengthen the love in our marriage, my wife saw that I was serious, and — bless her heart — she soon joined me in the Duo Track. Within one month of starting Marriage Fitness, our marriage was in much better shape. After several months of practicing Marriage Fitness, our marriage was the best it had ever been. Now, after six years of practicing Marriage Fitness, I am blessed with true marital bliss, for which I am forever grateful to G-d, to my wife, and to Mr. Fertel.

In addition to tremendously helping me in my marriage, Mr. Fertel’s Bible-based wisdom inspired me to become an active member of my local religious community, and to become a student of pastoral counseling. This has made me a better man, a better husband, and a better psychiatrist.

In addition, in my psychiatric practice, Mr. Fertel’s Marriage Fitness principles (which I cite often as I provide supportive therapy) have helped many of my patients to overcome their marital problems, and to help themselves and their families live healthier, happier and more productive lives. Many of my patients have gone on to read Marriage Fitness, and to tell me how much it has helped them, which brings me great joy. I cannot thank Mr. Fertel enough.

Thank you for your time. I hope Marriage Fitness helps you as much as it helps me.

Thanks, Mort

Mort I don’t know how i found you, but what your advice has been incredibly helpful. My husband & I will be married 48! Years this year. I wasn’t sure we were going to make it to 50. We have a long, complicated story I’d like to share at a later time. I just shared your podcast with my husband and we are going through it. I will get back to you again, but thanks for your caring, sensible advice. Regards, Sue Fisher

I Thought It Was Hopeless; It Feels Like A Miracle!

It was 3:33am when my husband called and asked if I would help him bring things into the house when he got there. That was all he had said and as I started waking up slowly I couldn't believe my nightmare was over; my husband was coming back home!
I highly recommend the Marriage Fitness Boot Camp because it doesn't focus on conflict but rather focuses on building your relationship with your spouse for a better future. You get back to the basics and you really emphasize it to change yourself and slowly your relationship. Some of the best and yet most difficult concepts to accept is that "slow is fast and fast is slow" as well as not texting (except photos, videos, voice recordings).

It works. I thought my case was hopeless. My husband had ditched me and was living with his mom so he was surrounded by people there and at work who encouraged him to divorce. He had stopped answering my calls, barely texted me, ignored me on multiple levels, and showed signs that he was going to ghost me when the divorce he had filed for was finalized. I went through the holidays, my birthday, and our 3rd anniversary alone where things looked like they were getting worse and worse. This program gave me the hope to cling onto like floating wreckage in the sea of tears I was drowning in. I starting expecting to be rejected and accepting it as a good sign in fact. I kept depositing all the effort I was putting into our marriage, keeping my eyes focused of the far away goal. Then it just happened all at once.

It was a miracle.

Thank you, Mort!

I completely agree with the last reviewer. This program does provide a great deal of insight for you to learn from (I did the Lone Ranger). I learned a great deal about how to reframe my thinking about my spouse, my marriage, and myself. But that’s where it ended for me. I also agree that it was not the least bit helpful in connecting with a spouse that had left the home, and that Mort could be condescending, especially on live support calls. I kept waiting for more guidance on what TO do, not just what NOT to do. I would not purchase this program again. I have since found another program that is more interactive, modern, and is overflowing with content and ways to connect with others. Marriage Fitness is stale and needs a refresh.

I did the Lone Ranger course a while back and still have the materials. This is a great way to get a marriage back on track without focusing on the past, ad nauseum. Thank you for developing this program!! I wouldn’t be married today without this new and refreshing perspective and directions. I highly recommend it to everyone, even long before it’s “needed to save a marriage.”

Counseling made things worse…

My husband and I tried counseling but it only seemed to make things worse. We got to the point where my husband said he wanted a divorce. A friend of mine introduced me to the Mort Fertel Marriage Fitness Program and I jumped on it. I was hoping my husband would join me but he wanted nothing to do with fixing our marriage anymore. I started the program anyway. He said a program wasn't going to help, that I needed to actually DO something. What he didn't realize, was that I was following the program and working on our marriage every day. The subtle changes began to take effect and before I knew it he was participating in the program with me. We both did the homework and spent Saturday mornings together going thru the workbook. That was five years ago. We still have rough spots but now I know how to get through them. The simple steps are easy to remember and to implement, and when we start to slip, it doesn't take long to get back on track. I am so grateful for this program and I have recommended it to many of my friends and family. Thank you, Mort Fertel!

Not only take back your marriage, but thrive as a couple.

The discovery of infidelity was not a shock. I had been using Larry Bilotta's course and I can't recommend it enough for someone who "knows their spouse" is struggling inward. Larry helped me become tough, fearless, decisive and fight for what I wanted ... my husband.
Larry spoke highly of Mort Fertel for the healing process when the affair was brought to light. The maturity and ethics found in this program really hit home. I started this program as a Lone Ranger, but within the first week, my husband was asking to do it with me!
Mort helped open my eyes to become a calmer individual who listens more. I am learning to think before I respond.
He helped shine a light on the 'clear boundaries' a marriage should have in place. Right and wrong behaviors and what character traits one should desire , within themselves, so their own conscious & marriage can heal and mend stronger than it was.

My husbands now sees that his actions were not only hurting himself, but others involved.
After Marriage Fitness, my husband has shown a true change of heart and empathy for hurt he has caused. This certainly wouldn't be possible without Mort's guidance . I removed 1 star because we couldn't hear the audio files for all 12 weeks and wish we were able to hear them.

I did the Lone Ranger track and can’t sing enough praises for Mort Fertel, his team, and the program they teach. This program changed my paradigm on not only my marriage but every relationship I have and my frame on life. As a result of following these teachings and “putting love first” my marriage and connection with my spouse is better than I could have ever imagined in every respect. Through this process I became a spouse that everyone would want, a better leader for my family, and have gained a much richer relationship with my children!

GAME CHANGER for Lone Rangers

GAME CHANGER. This program was so straight forward and helpful for me. Mort has a great way if keeping it simple yet powerful. This program was not only tremendously helpful with healing myself, but my relationship and view of my spouse. I did the Lone Ranger track, and could see a shift in myself and my husband relatively quickly. While it is a lifelong journey and truly a change in lifestyle, Mort gives all the tools you need to be successful. Thank you!
