"It's Amazing How (The Marriage Lifeline Tools) And Our Translator's Help Is Exposing Core Issues That We Needed To See, Deal With And Remove. Lifelong Burdens Are Being Lifted."
We’re slowly learning how to be a healthily married couple. It’s like building a house with a strong foundation. We are finally able to describe our needs and feelings without anger or defense. It feels like I‘m on a brand new road of life I didn’t find till I was 55. Lots of ah ha moments! There seems to be a healthy continual slow growing or maturing going on! I’m beginning to understand why everything I’d tried in the past hasn’t worked. We now have options, tools, hope & a positive view on life. Our hard work is beginning to get results and there’s a light at the end of our tunnel using Marriage Lifeline tools. Lou & Florina Korf | Vancouver Washington "In And Out Of Marriage Counseling Sessions Brought No Relief.... (The Marriage Lifeline) Is A Radical Change From All The Advice We Were Given To Simply Do The Right Thing And Love Would Follow." “Our 12 year marriage was extremely difficult and plagued with huge issues of alcohol, pornography and an emotional affair. In and out of marriage counseling sessions brought no relief. Unlike marriage counseling the Marriage Lifeline finally gave us a way to change our feelings first and then change our behavior. It is a radical change from all the advice we were given to simply do the right thing and love would follow. We were not able to do right because we didn’t feel right. The Marriage Lifeline is so practical, positive and focused on how the two of us could use the tools we needed to change the way we think and feel. Jim and I are far more focused on what's right instead of what's wrong with each other. We now know how to look at our strengths and build on those. This process is so very positive and encouraging. It builds people up rather than wearing them down. Best of all it works!” Jim & Donna McCabe | Vancouver Washington "I Feel That Your Program Did More For Carla and I Than Any Counselor Could Have. I Must Say That Just The Knowledge Of Our Inner Problems And The Issues Of Accepting Each Other As Good Has Been Such a Startling Revelation For Me and a Big Help For Carla." I feel that your program did more for Carla and I than any counselor could have. It has been three months since we finished up our four weeks with you. We have had a few issues but the bottom line is that Carla is still here after 6 months. That’s a virtual record since the infidelity incident. I must say that just the knowledge of our inner problems and the issues of accepting each other as good have been such a startling revelation for me and a big help for Carla. We are in a super place right now. I love just having her and she, much to my surprise, has started to open up to me in all honesty. I was floored last night as she shared some very difficult self-honesty. I heard some very difficult things but felt like the destructive anger and resentment was all flowing away from me. It was an intensely warm and wonderful feeling. I wanted to just hold her, it was good stuff Larry. Good stuff! I got my best friend back. A great debt of gratitude and thanks for all the Marriage Lifeline has done. Jim & Carla Ranson | Everson, Washington |
"I Was Able To See Myself In A Different Light And Gained Self-Esteem In The Process."
Marriage Lifeline began with showing us, in a very positive way, how we think differently (both from the aspect of our design and from our upbringing). Then we were given tools that were usable individually with immediate individual results (I was able to see myself in a different light and gained self-esteem in the process.) Marriage Lifeline showed me the power I had to change the way I see things and thereby change my attitudes. It helped change my personal perspective first and then I was able to apply the same changes to my marriage and it didn’t require the same degree of participation from my spouse.” Bob & Teri Werner "The Marriage Lifeline Program Transformed Us As Individuals, Because Of The Eye-Opening Things We Learned About Ourselves And Each Other, And It Transformed Our Marriage!"
The hands-on, tangible materials gave us tools that, by visualization, helped us remember the ideas so we could review them any time. We can't recommend the Marriage Lifeline program highly enough! It transformed us as individuals, because of the eye-opening things that we learned about ourselves and each other, and it transformed our marriage!" Scott & Dawn Freeburg | Port Edwards, Wisconsin "Many Things Were Brought To The Surface In a Kind and Gentle Way To Help Us Realize Our Behavior Towards Each Other. We Have a More Loving and “Normal” Marriage Than We Have Had In a Long Time." My husband and I are so much aware of each other and our different "countries and languages". Many things were brought to the surface in a kind and gentle way to help us realize our behavior towards each other. The biggest thing is keeping our dark side out of our thinking and behavior. We have a more loving and “normal” marriage than we have had in a long time. William & Vickie Beson | Minoqua, Wisconsin "Larry Showed Us How To Communicate With Each Other....Simply Stated, This Program Saved Our Marriage."
It has made the emotional roller coaster seem like a logical ride down a calm stream. We not only do we have great control over our feelings; we have a new outlook on life. We honestly believe that your Marriage Lifeline has made this complex world simple again. We thank you dearly.” Dick & Geri DuBois | Green Bay, Wisconsin "At First I Was Very Reluctant About the Marriage Lifeline, But After Experiencing Just the First Call, it Really Made Sense and Proved to Show Exactly Who I Am." Going through the Marriage Lifeline has changed our marriage. Tim and I were not having troubles, but there were issues that we were struggling with. Made sense of why I was always yelling and he was always apologizing. The best part of the Marriage Lifeline was that I could honestly tell Tim what I needed from him. We could explain our needs to each other and how we felt a certain way about things. It opened a lot of communication and took away a lot of pressure. I would recommend this Marriage Lifeline to anyone, whether you are going through anything or not. Tim & Mary Gorton | Green Bay, Wisconsin "We Felt Through The Whole Process That We Each Were Being Validated For What We Were Doing Right, Rather Than What We Were Doing Wrong." In this world of claims that counselors and advisors make on how they can help you to a happy marriage, it is so rare to find something that actually does, because it did it for us. The Marriage Lifeline saved our marriage and even sometimes I think our lives. We decided to go ahead even though Kathi and I were cynical that anything could help us in the state we had both fallen into. Our Marriage Translator had the tools and a knack for unlocking feelings that we both were desperately trying to express and couldn’t. We felt through the whole process that we each were being validated for what we were doing right, rather than what we were doing wrong. This whole process made us like ourselves more, and therefore, we saw more to like in each other. We finally know how to be happy…together. Mike & Kathi Lake | Ogden, Wisconsin "The Marriage Lifeline Made It Possible To Connect The Dots From Our Past To Our Present…It’s Life Changing. The Guesswork Has Been Taken Away and Replaced With Tangible Information We Can Act On." Shawn and I wanted to express how important this Marriage Lifeline program has been to our whole family. We are excited to hear that you may be offering it to military families. We wish we would have had the Marriage Lifeline information when we were still in the military. I’m talking about a level of understanding and intimacy that it could have only been possible in my dreams. The Marriage Lifeline made it possible to connect the dots from our past to our present…it’s life changing. It explained the differences between Shawn and me as people, but also as man and woman. Without the Flag Page, we never would have had this insight or opportunity to understand our two teenage daughters. The girls told us that it meant a lot to them that we would do this Flag Page just so we could understand them. We have more confidence in our relationships with our children because the lights have been turned on and we are no longer grasping in the dark for answers. The guesswork has been taken away and replaced with tangible information we can act on. Shawn & Tamara Marion | Plover, Wisconsin "We Are Going From Living To Loving And From Having Sex To Making Love! Thank You For Showing Us a Whole New World." It’s been several months since we completed our Marriage Lifeline and Mark and I had such an incredible weekend! We actually enjoyed every minute of our time together. HOURS! (Yikes) of getting to "know" each other! We couldn't wait to get home and keep living it out! I think for 11 years we both tried to love Heidi but didn't know how. Neither of us loved Mark. Sex was all about Mark and I was just something on the side once in awhile. Everyday life was all about me and the kids and Mark was just something on the side once in awhile. We are going from living to loving and from having sex to making love! Thank you for showing us a whole new world. Mark & Heidi Mann | Ogema, Wisconsin "The program allowed us to make changes and decisions that mean we enjoy our life together instead of simply survive our life together."
Brian & Leah Limberg | Plymouth, Wisconsin "The Marriage Lifeline Saved Our Marriage. The Greatest Thing I Noticed Was How Quickly It Helped Bring Back Our Communication. The Marriage Lifeline Helped Us...Fulfill Each Others Core Needs, Which Brought Us Back Together Again." The Marriage Lifeline saved our marriage. The greatest thing I noticed was how quickly it helped bring back our communication. We were going separate ways and lost the oneness we used to have. We had made several attempts to make our marriage better, but slowly we just seemed to settle into the confines of false contentment, and soon would fall back into the isolation. We just couldn't seem to get to and stay in a good place together. The Marriage Lifeline helped us learn to communicate again and taught us how to fulfill each others core needs, which brought us back together again. There was another force pushing us we didn't even know about. When we got control of this, we stopped finding fault with each other and started to forgive instead. That one idea changed everything. Ray & Dawn Schroeder | Prentice, Wisconsin "The Marriage Lifeline Gave Us Our Own Personal Marriage Translator and Some Very Unique Tools That Caused Us To Understand Each Other, Tear Down Old Destructive Beliefs That Were Pulling Us Apart." The Marriage Lifeline made it possible, as crazy as it sounds, to remember why, after 20 years, we should stay married. Our relationship had degraded so badly that we both dreaded seeing and dealing with each other. It got to the point we couldn’t remember why this marriage was even worth the effort. The Marriage Lifeline gave us our own personal Marriage Translator and some very unique tools that caused us to understand each other, tear down old destructive beliefs that were pulling us apart. Because we now have the tools, we both feel accepted and safe so we can communicate freely and often. This program made it possible for us to stop looking at each other as the enemy. Because we now feel so accepted, forgiven and understood, our tension is gone to the point that we see our children are happier, more relaxed and less on edge. Even their school work has improved. We were one of those couples that would have stayed miserable and married for the sake of the children, yet all of us would have paid a high price were it not for the Marriage Lifeline coming to us when it did. Brian & Lori Stepaniak | Tomahawk, Wisconsin "As A Couple We've Come Full Circle From Almost Divorcing To Being Happy Together And We Owe It To Your Marriage Lifeline. I'm So Amazed At How Far We've Come In Such A Short Time." As a couple, we've come full circle from almost divorcing to being happy together and we owe it to your Marriage Lifeline. I'm so thankful that you were there when we really needed you. I'm so amazed at how far we've come in such a short time. When this marriage turmoil hit us, we were as low as we both could possibly get. I didn't know who I was. I felt so cut off with no words to explain it. I felt devastated in every way and there was nowhere to turn. The Marriage Lifeline gave Mike and I so many ah-ha moments and as a result, we are so much more at peace together today. Mike & Nancy Voechting | Sheboygan, Wisconsin "We Are Far From Being Honor Students In Applying The Tools We Learned In The Marriage Lifeline, But That’s The Best Part About This Program, It Works Even It You Don’t Do It Perfectly!"
After the Marriage Lifeline, our lives are turning around, we are not perfect at using the tools, but we are gaining much ground. We are working together as a team now and are actually enjoying the feeling of oneness. I no longer even want my husband to find a girlfriend so I can move on to greener pastures. Our communication has improved and we are trying to fulfill each others needs versus focusing on our own. Thank You to the Marriage Lifeline for helping us to minimize the chaos in our lives and bring us closer to oneness….how refreshing! John & Debbi Zimmerman | Merrill, Wisconsin "(The Marriage Lifeline) Was One Of The Smartest Moves I've Made In A While...I Began To Accept My Husband For Who He Was. He Was Becoming More Open To Change And Grow As A Man." Over ten years ago my husband and I met and it was a connection of the minds. We both shared a passion for business and traveling and we talked hours a day about everything. I knew he was the one. After eight years of dating we decided to get married. I thought I knew everything there was to know about him. In all the conversations we never put a plan together. We needed a plan to coexist and grow our marriage. We were so independent and strong willed we didn't want to give that up. Soon our talks became repeated conflicts and I wanted out! Aston wouldn't give up but he didn’t know how to make it work either. Then he decided to do something he never did before…ask for help. He started to call on the Lord. His prayers were answered. I agreed to participate in the Marriage Lifeline. It was one of the smartest moves I've made in a while (and I am smart! LoL) I started to see I needed to let go of the idea I could change my husband. I began to see and accept him for who he was. He was already becoming more open to change and grow as a man. I want to thank this Marriage Lifeline process for reminding us of what we have always had, strength, forgiveness and hope. Aston & Kishah Walters | Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin "Paul And I Want To Extend Our Gratitude For All You Have Done To Help Us In Having An "Extraordinary" Relationship." Paul and I want to extend our gratitude for all you have done to help us in have an "Extraordinary" relationship. A friend recommended you but after having been married and divorced with traditional counseling I wasn't real fired up for more, but I did want to do everything we could to give our marriage every chance. Then we started talking with you. WOW! What an eye opener. From what you taught usabout the invisible lifestyle alone, Paul and I have much more understanding of what's behind our actions. More importantly, we finally know about our own inner enemy and how to keep it from wrecking our marriage. Behind the closed doors of marriage, we don't talk about our own dark side and how it hurts us. Even as a Christian, I was still living with guilt and condemnation from past mistakes and shortcomings. Like many Christians, I didn't know how to get rid of that voice inside telling me I wasn't good enough. Through what you've shown us, we are both now recognizing those past movies of failure that could have destroyed us before very long. Paul and I highly recommend your Marriage Lifeline to everyone even thinking about marriage or those contemplating divorce. What you taught us is not just a one time thing. We both use your tools and know-how everyday to focus only on what's good and live in a state of gratefulness has made all the difference in the world. Thank you!! Paul & Tanya Sajdak - Rockford IL |

"Before Beginning (The Marriage Lifeline), Neither Of Us Had Much Hope That Any Program Or Counselor Could Truly Help Us...Now We Can Both See...That The Marriage Lifeline Brought Our Marriage From Hopeless Arguments To Looking At Each Other's Strengths..." The Marriage Lifeline Program tools have been helpful in overriding our negative emotions and feelings which have tended to rule our marriage. Before beginning it, neither of us had much hope that any program or counselor could truly help us in a significant life-changing way. Now we can both see in our own very different ways that the Marriage Lifeline brought our marriage from hopeless arguments to looking at each other’s strengths, dealing with the way we were programmed in our childhoods and looking at each other as real people with needs instead of each other’s enemy.

"We Have Sought Christian Counseling, Attended A Marriage Seminar And Would Try Different Approaches To Improve Our Marriage...We Recommend The Marriage Lifeline To Anyone Struggling With Marriage. You Have Brought Our Relationship Back To "Life"." Bill and I have been married for 7 yrs and most of the time, struggling with our relationship. We have sought Christian counseling, attended a marriage seminar and would try different approaches to improve our marriage. Sometimes it lasted for few weeks, but we always managed to go right back to our "old habits". After years of this, I felt that there was no hope for our marriage to be anything more than a 'roommate" relationship....until I heard a "Laugh Your Way to a Better Marriage minute" on a Christian radio station. We recommend the Marriage Lifeline to anyone struggling with marriage. You have brought our relationship back to "life". Bill & Melanie Hill | Guyton, Georgia |
"Marriage Help Just Doesn't Get Any Better Than This. Everything About The Marriage Lifeline, Especially The Flag Page, Was So Enlightening And Eye-Opening, Every Couple Should Start Their Life Together With This Program." Marriage help just doesn’t get any better than this. Larry Bilotta is very hard to improve on. He was absolutely outstanding. His effect on our marriage was nothing short of Divine intervention. This process has been such a blessing to our marriage in all the improvements and freedom it has made possible for Austin and I. Everything about the Marriage Lifeline, especially the Flag Page, was so enlightening and eye-opening, every couple should start their life together with this program.

I came into marriage subconsciously believing that I had to defer my own needs but meet every one of my spouse’s needs. I misunderstood many of my needs & feelings. I was clueless as to all the dynamics going on. The last 10 yrs we had no sex because emotional problems were too difficult for me to manage. I felt frustrated, trapped, imprisoned and hopeless. I spent the last 20 yrs searching through books, counselors, advice, programs etc, and didn’t find the answer to why my life was a living hell; nor how to develop emotional & mental intimacy. I thought my husband Lou was the problem.
“Marriage counseling told us what we each needed to do differently. I think we still had complaints because we each felt like we were the one doing what we needed to do and our spouse was not. We received some instruction on how to treat each other but it seemed to require both spouses to be equally motivated and involved.
"The Marriage Lifeline is an amazing program that guided us along a step-by-step process that took our information and helped us see more clearly what was happening in our marriage. We understood ourselves and each other with a clear message that we don’t have to change. We actually want to accept our differences now. Instead of having to change, it taught us how to work with our differences and really improve our relationship.
The Marriage Lifeline for Couples quickly helped us and now we know who we are. You showed us how to communicate with each other. Your program helped us identify our greatest needs. Simply stated your program saved our marriage.
Before the Marriage Lifeline we each lived our own lives and co-existed, communication was sparse. Our house was a disaster, piles everywhere, but I always left a nice, wide path for Johnny, in case we had a fire. I was trying to seek fulfillment in others because I wasn’t being fulfilled at home. Johnny kept his mouth shut and dealt with it. I had no idea how much my anger bothered him and he had no idea how much I needed his encouragement and inspiration in all areas of my life.
