If marriage counseling has ever crossed your mind or been suggested (by either of you or someone else), then we may have found something for you. Certainly there are unavoidable stigmas when it comes to therapy — that there’s a huge problem, that you’re headed for divorce, or that you can’t handle things on your own.

And while one, all, or none of those things may be true for you, here’s what it comes down to — therapy works! It works for many people. And until we figure out a way to believe that, perhaps it’s services like eHarmony Marriage that will help us bridge the gap and get us going down the right path.

 Our bloggers have been thoughtfully exploring this new program and similar to the first round of bloggers, it’s definitely a viable alternative with much to offer. One blogger had much to say about the program — including being impressed and enlightened. “There was a lot of information and, through the miracle of the high speed processor, it spoke with utmost attention to the details of our strange and imperfect marriage. It was, as eHarmony touts it, extremely personalized.”

These couples found the videos to be helpful and worthwhile. “I’ve only had time to watch a few of the videos, and I can see how they will be useful. It’s more engaging to watch scenes being acted out and people being interviewed. I’m glad I have three months to watch them all!” ”I didn’t have the chance to view them all, but I enjoyed the ones I watched. They were entertaining, not preachy at all, and featured couples-in-the-street and sketches that helped illustrated the subject at hand.”

Bloggers found the advice to be personal and not condescending. “I wasn’t really sure how reading articles and getting advice was so different, but I was impressed at the level of specificity of the advice.  It was geared toward each partner, and you could both see each person’s advice. I liked seeing the advice for my beloved and the advice for me, and usually they didn’t contradict each other.”

For our internet addicted bloggers, this program offers folks a way to fit in important discussions about their marriage into their already busy life. “Honestly, what really appealed to my internet-addicted, nerdy heart was the fact that this information is online. You can curl up with your honey in your bed after the kids go to sleep and view a video or two. You can be inspired or prodded to raise these important subjects without dragging anyone to a counselor’s office. This is good stuff.”

And for much less of an investment than traditional counseling, this might just be the first step (or even the last step) you’ve been looking for. Based on the reports from our bloggers, check it out.
