There it is, right on my website: marital therapy is not particularly effective. And yet, people often contact me to ask, “Where can I get therapy?”

Why?

Because our culture is psychologized and therapized, for good or bad.

So let me be crystal clear: I am NOT across-the-board opposed to marital therapy. There are excellent therapists out there. And there are excellent approaches out there.

It just isn’t guaranteed that you will find the right therapist, or that you and your spouse will approach therapy in a way that will be effective.

Which is the two parts of the problem: Therapist issues and client issues.

This week, I want to discuss 3 ways to really guarantee that your marriage therapy will fail. One is all about the therapist you choose. Two ways are about how you use the therapy.

And here is the super-cool thing: if you know these 3 ways to absolutely guarantee failure… you can avoid them! Then, therapy (if you so choose it) has a chance of helping… and not harming… your relationship.

Dr. Lee H. Baucom, Ph.D.

Over the next few weeks, I want you to meet my talented staff. I have some of the top relationship coaches working with me to provide great help to couples around the world. And I am proud of the work we do.

Why?

Because it comes from my deep belief that healthy marriages are crucial for a healthy family, community, and world.

I jump in this week to tell you about who I am and why I do what I do. Just so you know where I am coming from. Just so you have a better feel for who is behind the Save The Marriage System (and this podcast, books, workshops, coaching, etc.).

I’ll share a bit about my early life, my training, and my convictions about saving marriages.

Consider this an introduction, if you are new to my program. Consider it further discussion if you have been around for a bit.

Either way, here I am!

Confession — I have to admit to this. . .

By: Lee H. Baucom, Ph.D.

October 4, 2017

Every now and then, I get an angry email or phone call. But this one. . .

He started out nice enough: “Are you the guy that has that save your marriage system online?”

“Yes. Can I help you?”

“So,” he continued, “you are the one who claims to have helped people around the world?”

I noticed his voice was a bit more. . . pressured. . . angry.

“Umm. Yes, that would be me.”

“Well,” his voice was just below a yell, “I bet you have never saved a marriage in your life! I bet you haven’t even saved one single marriage in your life!”

We “chatted” for a bit longer. But he was convinced. . . I was a fake, a fraud.

I thought about it for a bit.

And I decided I needed to make a confession. I can’t live with myself anymore. I do have to admit to this. So, I just decided to record it. Just so I am clear with everyone.

Listen to my confession below.
