What Can a Couple Married Over 40 Years Teach You About Being Happy and Fulfilled in Your Marriage?
I rarely make endorsements. If I do, it has to be something I’m sure would be a help to you and I’ve recently come across someone who CAN help. They’re called Marriage Team.
Marriage Team has trained their own ‘army’ of happily married couples to coach unhappily married couples on how to feel safe with each other and ultimately enjoy each other through a 12 week coaching system.
I’m sure you’ve heard of marriage counselors and marriage mentors but you might not be familiar with marriage coaches. The couple that made Marriage Team possible, Alan and Autumn Ray, have been married over 40 years! They now have over 150 of these marriage coaching couples who make a difference in the lives of other struggling couples everyday.
Their organization can be found at http://www.marriageteam.org.
If you are fortunate enough to have a spouse who wants to work on your marriage with you, and you can spare just 2 hours a week for 8-12 weeks, you will be able to experience what it’s like to have a happier and safer relationship – like the way things were when you first met when no subjects were “off limits”.
Here’s how their system works…
Your coaching couple will not tell you what to do, but instead, they will show you how to discover what specific things you’ll WANT to do for each other. A good thing about Marriage Team’s coaching process is there is no bad guy and no review of past negatives.
What happens when you and your spouse participate in the coaching process is summed up in a little book they wrote titled “Rick and Jane Learn to Listen and Talk”. The book uses cartoons so it’s a really friendly, easy read. I’ve personally never seen a couples-based marriage system that is this positive and builds up your self image too.
I would highly encourage you to contact Al and Autumn Ray at MarriageTeam.org and request a copy of “Rick and Jane Learn to Listen and Talk”. It would be an easy way of introducing the two of you to this very positive process called marriage coaching. It certainly can’t hurt, it can only help.
I’m such a fan of Al and Autumn Ray and the work they are doing with couples, that I recently conducted a 1-hour interview with them so you can hear what they are like and why coaching is usually a better answer for most struggling couples than counseling.

Since Marriage Team is a nonprofit organization, the very low price of $160 helps them cover their costs to help you for up to 12 weeks.
That’s an amazing price for up to 24 hours of live, positive, interactive marriage help from a professionally trained coaching couple!
If you don’t immediately decide to get a coaching couple in your lives, I suggest you at least contact MarriageTeam.org to get their book.
