What others have said:

"The tools are simple, logical and would be effective in many relationships: family, friends and with co-workers.  The steps are easy to follow and eventually become second nature."

"This class helped me safely travel on the uneven terrain of relationships"

"I learned skills to be able to communicate in a structured way with not only my spouse, but my children, parents, friends and employees too."

What Real Men Say About MML:

"This class helped us identify some deep ruts in our patterned responses to each other... Old dogs can learn new tricks... the first session was a real highlight and was surprising in the closeness I felt afterwards."

"This class has opened my eyes to how little time I spend trying to understand my partner.  I never realized that the best way to be heard is to shut up and listen."

"I never knew such a small investment of time could have such big payoff in benefit."

"After 36 years of marriage, it (the class) overhauled our communication which caused us to fall in love again."

"This class saved our marriage!  Before this class, my wife and I couldn't stop fighting.  (MML) Skills gave us a 'fight-free' zone."

What Real Women Say about MML:

"My husband and I have a great marriage -- or so we thought.  This class helped us address issues that we were avoiding...(and) gave us the skills we needed to discuss issues skillfully and emotionally without getting too emotional."

"There was a change in our relationship even before we finished the first class."

"I have learned to strive for bettering my marriage rather than assuming there would be no change... we will be able to work through our problems and conflict -- there is hope for things I thought were unsolvable."

"My husband actually shared his feelings rather than saying, 'I don't know.'"

"This class helped my husband and me laugh again."
