Marriage Fitness with Mort Fertel Reviews 127

Mort has displayed a very different character from the person he displays in his videos. They say it's refundable - try getting a refund, I implore you. In my opinion, this business is unethical and from what else Not trustworthy AT ALL in my opinion. Don't say I didn't warn you!

Mort now OUTRIGHT LIES - Am I surprised? No! No I am not. I have not "already received the full benefit of the program." I haven't even done the program I paid for.

Mort is a really smart guy, effectively going to war with the Director of a reputation management company - realllll smart. It's going to get WORSE before it gets better.

Very informative and professional. Went over in details everything about the solar panel system. Created a couple panel designs on the computer to see which one would look best to me on my house. Very impressed.

When an affair is first revealed emotions are all over the place. I searched the internet for help and Mort seemed so supportive and reassuring.
I hesitated purchasing the course and was reminded it had a money back guarantee - but when I requested the refund I was told this was within a time frame which is not clear on the website. In fact I think it is only revealed once you click on the ‘money back guarantee’ banner which looks like a picture and not a button/link.
I waited till I had completed the course before reviewing it and realising it was not for me - it is heavily religious which I was able to live with but there was a homophobic anecdote retold to illustrate a point which could have been just as easily illustrated any other number of ways which did not sit well with me. There are some quite strict suggestions such as not even touching the opposite sex (no hand shake, no kissed greeting etc) in case it leads to temptation.

I’m glad this course helped many, and don’t get me wrong the free YouTube info is super helpful and reassuring, Mort comes across as really caring and understanding but by the end of the process he felt like someone who only cared about himself All discussion about a refund came via his administrator and the money back guarantee was not forth-coming. I felt tricked and used, again! Mort also promoted his wife a number of times disguised as being a supportive husband but receiving mail-shots about her latest website or book or whatever they were trying to sell seemed a little cheap!

As an aside, whilst Mort’s experience of a marriage crisis is clearly upsetting and relevant to some, it is not an affair. I would suggest the pain of betrayal through infidelity is different and some of the tactics that he suggested are not advocated by other ‘affair recovery’ sites or those designed to help save a marriage experiencing infidelity and certainly they did not help me.

I would not recommend this course.

My husband had been in an affair for 3 years, I did not find out until 2.5 years into it. I had suspicions but could not confirm them. Within 3 weeks of finding out I started Mort's Marriage Fitness program and worked the lone ranger steps religiously. We all know the saying "Things have to get worse before they get better", and they did. At the beginning of January he moved out of our home to move in with his mistress. I continued working the program, wrote and re-wrote my marriage mission statement and read it twice a day, I spoke with one of the Marriage Fitness counselors several times. The program became my bible and on January 28th my husband came home having ended the affair. We get along better than ever before and I credit Mort Fertel's Marriage Fitness program for changing the way I see and spoke with my husband. During the whole process I also found my faith in Christ and he was my stronghold while working the program. My husband would have never agreed to go to church and he is now attending with me every other week. I thank Mort from the bottom of my heart.

There is hope but not for me

I am writing because I would pour over these reviews to help me maintain hope despite my troubled situation. I met my husband 15 years ago it was a whirlwind romance and we married 18 months later. We have had stumbling blocks initally driven by my family who did not accept him. Gradually distance grew as resentment built on both sides. We moved to London to get away from my family but our troubles followed us. He left me for the first time in 2009 then came back. We returned to Australia had our first child. 18 months later we went to therapy and the cousellor asked us to separate.. i was devastated. After 9months we reconciled long enough to have a second child. But things went from bad to worse frequent fights and a third separation when my daughter was 9 months old. Then i found the program. I joined lone ranger track. I worked hard to forgive to change and he returned home due to covid and ok job losses. In September 2020 i had hope.. he noticed the change.. i nearly allowed myself to be happy but alas 1 month later he changed his mind. I stayed true to the program. But he felt manipulated and often lashed out at me.

In the end he left me and my 2 kids for the 4th time.

Do i think program is good. Yes. But not everyone is destined for a happy ending. I wish all of you who read this hope and stay strong. My heart aches for all your pain and wish you all success in your reconciliation.

My wife and I have been having a rough marriage. I have taken off numerous times.I have been physical with her and at times picking fights just to leave.I was going to AA all the time when we first met. Then 6 months into our relationship I left my family and we moved roughly 2 hours away. It was hard for me to handle cause at the same time she was having her 4 kids moving in. my wife asked me to stay back and gradually move there. I was selfish and didn't listen. I have been selfish a lot in my relationship .I wouldn't treat her kids correctly . I have done construction most of my life but where we live I would have to drive far and she expects me to be home overnight. My wife has stayed away for weekends cause of work but Im not allowed. I felt there was alot of double standards. I have been out the house for a couple weeks and she wont answer the phone nor give me any of my things. I was on my phone and saw this site. I signed up for myself not knowing if we will stay married or not. I know I have done a lot wrong in my relationship. I'm mad at myself cause i know I could of been better and I know that. Just reading reviews and other peoples experiences gave me hope. Thank you

As a Christian woman, it was important to me that whatever marriage wisdom I was receiving be largely in keeping with Biblical principles. I noticed that the Marriage Fitness Program was not religious in nature, so I wasn’t sure if it would be a good fit for me. To be honest, I was astonished how much I grew in my understanding of the teachings of Jesus through participating in the Telebootcamp. The principles support the following themes taught by Jesus Himself in the gospels: Love your neighbor as you love yourself; Love your enemies by heaping coals of fire on their heads; Forgive 70 x 7; Take the log out of your own eye before you try to take the speck out of another’s eye; Do unto others as you would have them do unto you; Give without expecting anything in return; Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for a friend. Whether he intended to or not, Mr. Fertel taught me specific, powerful ways to apply these Christian principles in my marriage, something I just did not clearly envision before.

My husband and I were stuck in some significant areas. I had a strong desire to get unstuck and to transform our marriage from good to great. I can hardly describe the change that has taken place in me and in our relationship. I fell in love with my husband all over again! Implementing some simple truths has transformed our marriage. Enrolling in the Lone Ranger Program caused me to bear the entire responsibility of looking at myself and how I was negatively impacting our relationship. If we had been doing it together, I suspect I would have been noticing what my husband needed to change instead of what I needed to change. Changing me changed EVERYTHING! Even though I was doing many things “right,” changing the things that were wrong thrust our relationship to a new place.

Highest recommendations for this unique, transforming approach!

My marriage wasn't looking good at all. We considered marriage counseling but after reading the reviews about people who chose marriage fitness over counseling we decided to do the marriage fitness. We don't regret our decision and we are getting better as days go on. If you are struggling with your marriage then I HIGHLY recommend trying it out, you will not regret it. It took my wife a while but she finally came around and now we do it together. We cant thank Mort Fortel enough for his program and it was a life saver. We chose the audio program first and it has helped a great deal. It is a life long commitment and we are making the changes for life. I hope anyone that is struggling with their marriage gives this a shot cause they will not regret it. Just take one day at a time and you will definitely see a difference.

Mort's program is AMAZING!! Thank you Mort for your encouragement, counsel and mentoring through some marriage hurdles!!

This program greatly helped to save my marriage three years ago! My husband and I were separated in 2017 after 29 years of marriage and were moving towards divorce! But after implementing Mort Fertel's teachings and practices my marriage is better than ever! We reconciled 3 years ago and celebrated 32 years of marriage last month. Now we are desiring to grow old together. This program is amazing! It's a lot of work and it takes dedication, but thank God I did not quit or give up. It worked and continues to work three years later!

I cannot express how much Mort Fertel's program has helped us. My husband and I have been married for 17 years with 3 beautiful children, however our constant fighting was hurting them (and us) tremendously. Over the years we had tried marriage counseling multiple times and often spent months sleeping apart. I even moved out at one point for about 6 months and we went to a mediator. We ended up wasting $10k on separation papers only to cancel at the last minute. I couldn't bear being away from my family and we do love each other, so we'd make up and things would be good for a while but would always get bad again.

The truth is by the time I found the Marriage Fitness program the only reason we were still together was that neither of us was willing to move out and be apart from our kids. We had decided the best thing to do to keep from fighting was to live as roommates and only interact or speak when necessary. As you can imagine the atmosphere in the home was very tense and unhappy. I was pretty desperate when I found the Marriage Fitness program online, but was willing to try anything. When I spoke with my husband I was happy to see that he was willing to try it as well. The night before we started the Marriage Fitness Bootcamp program on November 20 we had been sleeping separately for nearly 3 months. We’ve been back together since and are getting along much better.

I feel like nearly everyone and everything in the world had been pulling us apart and Mort was the only thing that really brought us together. Mort is a true advocate for marriage. He is very honest and genuine, and has amazing insight into the problems in a marriage and how to make things better. Often what he suggests is different from what I've heard before (and hard to do sometimes), but it all rings true and is effective. Things are not perfect between us now, but they are so much better and I know they will continue to get better as long as we keep following the advice in the program. We are finally receiving much needed guidance that we never received before. And we feel good knowing we can always schedule a session with Mort or one of his counselors if things start to get bad again. There are also Q&As and many other resources for help.

We are very grateful for having found the Marriage Fitness program and hope to be a part of it for many years. It's been a lifeline.

I have been married to my wife just over 5 years. She recently has left me as of December 4th with my two young boys to move back to California from Norfolk, VA where I am stationed. I have cheated on my wife over the last 5 years and she has recently wanted out of our marriage. With this being said, I am devastated for having devastated her. What I would like to know is with her being 2500 miles away, I feel it makes it impossible to reconcile, but at all costs, I am willing to do the leg work, but with her being so far away, how does she see the changes? I cant even ask her how she is doing and get a response? I am waiting to get all your information as I just paid last night. I have had no hope, until I sat here and have read 100's of your reviews, it makes me tear up to see these people reconcile from something that was so hurtful and damaging, to come back better than ever. I would do anything for my wife, as including you come visit for the intensive house call, because no matter what you, cant put a price on how much you love someone. Please if you can Mort, give me a call if you ever get a chance. Kind regards Robert Adams

Mort's material is outstanding and his approach is thoughtful and transformative. Of course -- you have to follow the program and take his advice. This isn't an "insta-fix" -- it takes work, commitment and discipline... but it works --if you follow the program. Don't lose heart, don't give up hope. Work the plan. Highest recommendation.

I have tried many marriage programs and have studied many books on relationships but nothing was faster and easier than doing the Marriage Fitness program with Mort Fertel. I felt hopeless and frustrated in my marriage but I couldn't resist trying one more time to make things better. I was so surprised when I actually followed Mort's suggestions and they worked! I almost cried when I read in his book the part where he says that your spouse should come first over anyone including your children. Mort's calm words make so much sense to me. He explains things in such a way that I really get what he's saying. I love the Marriage Fitness program and recommend it to anyone who is willing to do what's needed to make their marriage happy again.

I had a lot of hope after reading about this program. I signed up and got on the payment plan. My wife agreed to be there and even cut her day short to make it to the first call. The countdown timer on the website was a hour off so we logged onto the first call a hour late. She listened to the long boring conversation he had with himself mostly just saying the same stuff as the website on the recording the next day. She didn't see any reason to continue especially when they couldn't even get us the right information on what time it started. Why would she think that they could help anything after that? After that I was dealing with getting a divorce and fighting for my kids and my last payment didn't go through. They sent email after email. Sometimes 4 or 5 a day threatening to sue me over a hundred dollars for their product that was clearly defective. Once I explained that to them and asked for a refund they ceased communication with me and won't refund my money or even give an explanation of why they won't. I don't know if the program works or not because of their defective website, but I can assure you that if there is a problem they do not have the ethics to do what is right. I see that he only cares about money. He charges people thousands of dollars a day for counseling and won't give a refund to someone who is obviously deserving. Buyer beware!
WOW, you are amazing. Your answer to a legitimate complaint is to publicly denigrate my name and put my financial information on a public site. You are reckless and absurd. You have to be the most arrogant narcissistic individual on the planet if you think you can save a marriage in 30 days so your guarantee is obviously worthless. I would make a very large wager that you don't have anywhere near the success rate that you claim, it's more likely that the people who it doesn't work for are like me and don't have the time to worry about you while they are getting divorced and fighting for their children. My card was declined because someone stole my identity and I had to get new cards(not that it's any of your damn business). It doesn't matter what you put in your fine print. A man with morals and values would do what is right instead of publicly attacking someone who obviously wasn't helped by your defective product. I am not some degenerate trying to get out of something. I have a college degree and I can afford to pay you. I will not after the way I have been treated. I hope that my loss can be a gain for others that believe you are a decent human being. I hope that you will find a good church and pray that you can be a better person from here on. I welcome you to come to church with me, and I will pray for you either way. You are a leech sucking the blood out of desperate people who need more than what you have to offer. Your tech guy can look and see that we logged on a hour late. Your tech guy can see that shortly after that we stopped logging in. You know that the timer was off and you know that we logged in at the end of the countdown. I hope that anyone who reads this and decides to ignore my warning will come back after they waste their money and put a review to hold you accountable. I also hope that they know that you only respond in an attempt to hide negative reviews so they make sure they respond back to ensure that you don't silence them.
Update, as you can clearly see Mr. Fertel said that I should not worry about the remaining balance in what you would think would be a good faith offer to make up for their negligence. Unfortunately he is far from a man of his word and I received a collection letter for the remaining balance this morning. You can also see that he has disputed my review because it accurately reflects his terrible business practices. He works very hard to silence any critics on here instead of being a honest and ethical person. I wonder how many others have been taken down by him using loopholes in trustpilot to make it seem that he has such a high rating. I sincerely hope that trustpilot will stop allowing this behavior and not remove my very honest and accurate review.

I don’t usually write reviews but I feel compelled to make an exception. I honestly don’t know what will happen with my situation or if there is any hope, so this isn’t why I am writing because I am one not (yet!) one of the success stories.... I am writing because I know without a doubt that if I found this program and especially, if I set up, a one-hour-session with Mort earlier, I would not be in this situation.
If your marriage is crumbling, if you feel hopeless and worried about your kids and saving your marriage there is nobody who will make sense to you more than this person! Even in my current, rather hopeless situation, he is a beam of light amidst a sea of darkness (sorry for the cliche lol). His prices are steep and while I am the very last person to believe in personal help programs of the internet as I usually brush them all off as a scam and laugh... But do yourself a favor, give this program a chance!!! Don’t let things go past a point where it’s hard to reverse. I highly recommend his marriage fitness program to absolutely anyone who is worried about their home life.
I wish my friends were less skeptical about it because, hands down, as far as marital advice goes nothing makes more sense!
It’s very hard to stick with his suggestions but if you do I am almost 100% sure you can avoid a situation that I am in. When I followed through on his advice (was never able to commit for longer than 3 days lol...) results were almost immediate!
Don’t hesitate to buy him program or even better schedule a session with him. I am biting my elbows that I didn’t do this earlier.
Another thing I want to mention is just Mort’s energy as a marriage professional (I don’t know what else to call him ;) is so helpful and soothing that if you are dealing with a very painful situation it’s already a huge step forward just to feel sane while you are stuck in what feels like a bottomless pit.
Sorry for such a wordy review but I am really overwhelmed with how few people are good at what they do and what a rare professional this man is!! I hope I didn’t find him too late for my situation, and it still can turn around but if not, don’t be stupid like me and invest in your relationship before it’s too late.
Few people in this world are doing exactly what they are supposed to do. Mort is clearly in the right field for him and amazing at what he does. See for yourself! You will NoT regret it. What you will regret is not doing all you could do to fix a situation before it’s irreversible. In divorce, everyone loses. Do all you can to save your family.

The Marriage Fitness Program is great. I think that, at the beginning of the process, being able to look within myself and see all the possibilities of pain that I contributed to the marriage was really inspiring and actually gave me hope for our marriage. I found that writing the apology letter in preparation for the discussion was especially transformational for me, but not for my spouse. This program is built on integrity and conviction that contribute to the outcome of giving LOVE to your spouse. I agree with all of that.

I am still in the Lone Ranger process, however. It's been about 3.5 months of consistency and love, but my spouse has actually pulled away even harder and is rejecting me and becoming more involved with someone else (I think!). While I recognize that this can happen during Lone Ranger, I think that I am becoming more convinced that our situation is hopeless unless God himself intervenes.

I think where the program might be lacking, and maybe I'm wrong, is with the talk charges. Because my spouse perceives me as having been needy, anytime I try to reach out to him with a voicemail or video message etc, I perceive myself as being a nag and wonder if the NO CONTACT rule from other programs would be best with my situation. All that to say: I don't believe that the daily talk charges work in EVERY case, although I see the merit and value in them.

While I've been extremely encouraged and inspired by the review section of the Marriage Max web-page, I do wish I could read a few reviews from clients who have experienced house-calls with Mort or David, since this is a service that is advertised throughout Mort Fertel's marketing (emails and website) and since this is a service I'm very interested in. I simply just need more information: Since I have an obstinate spouse, who's possibly engaged in an affair, would this be beneficial and create a breakthrough or would it further complicate things for me as I continue to work the program? It would simply be WONDERFUL to hear from clients who have also booked house calls and not just those in the Lone Ranger/Duo Tracks.

All in all--WORTH EVERY PENNY!

I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Counselor a 39 years old female and have been married 9 years to my husband. We don’t have children and we are born again Christians. My husband has never been married before, but I had been married previously for a brief amount of time in my early 20’s.

Right before I started Marriage Fitness in early January 2019 my husband and I had been feuding for the past 7 months. Our marriage had always been difficult, starting a few months after we got married, now it had become unbearable. We had been sleeping in separate rooms, ultimatums had been given, every conversation was an argument. We argued over the typical things couples fight about; money, sex, kids. We were at the end of the road. I didn’t want a divorce and yet family, friends and my own therapist seemed to be indicating that was the road to take so that I could be happy.

Right after Christmas 2018 my husband told me he had scheduled a meeting with legal counsel to file for a separation. My heart broke I was desperate to not divorce for a second time, the first time was more painful than anything I had ever experienced in my entire life. I begged a friend to meet with my husband to talk him out of meeting with legal counsel and that worked to buy me a few days.

That week I reached out to a good friend and I was finally broken enough to hear that perhaps the problems in our marriage weren’t all my husband’s fault and I needed some fixing myself. I got out of town and spent some time with my family, as always, I took my complaints to them. This time I spoke with an aunt, I usually didn’t see often, I told her about the reality of my crisis. With her 25+ years of marriage experience my aunt suggested I risk it all and give into what my husband had been asking for (it was something to do with money, the details will just complicate the story). I took her advice and returned home to share that I was willing to concede to his wishes pertaining to the biggest current issue plaguing our marriage. His response wasn’t anything to call home about.

I realized again all of this bought me only a few more days of relief from my husband’s threat of divorcing me and I knew I needed some real help if this marriage was going to be saved and I needed it quick! That’s when I saw a Facebook ad for Mort Fertel’s Marriage Fitness Program. It seemed a bit expensive at the time, so I looked at some of the reviews, I decided that if the program wasn’t a good fit there was a 30-day money back guarantee, so I purchased it. Keep in mind because of my profession I’ve read dozens of books and have taken many classes about marriage, all of which had brought very little help. Even the research shows that traditional marriage therapy only helps a little. Over the years my husband and I had seen 5 therapists, a pastor and others for guidance, each time it seemed to make matters worse. So, with that information I didn’t expect much when I purchased this program.

I started the program January 7, 2019 and enjoyed that it was an audio program. I was able to listen and do chores around the house at the same time. I also started on the workbook and took notes. I listened daily and was excited about what I was hearing. I immediately started applying the principles and practices consistently and exactly as Mort described.

My own behavior started to change, I became quiet, I stopped complaining about my spouse. I even stopped going to counseling because all I had done there was whine about my husband and how bad my life had become as a result of this villain I was married to. Step by step I followed this program. At times things felt like they were getting worse, but I remembered the lessons Mort shared and that this was the resistance and rejection I was expected to receive, and I knew that it meant change was happening.

One day after hearing a teaching from Mort I decided to move back into our marital bedroom, I prepared myself for the hostility that I knew would come with this attempt to reconnect and yet Mort’s program had prepared me and I felt victorious in the mist of my husband’s negative reaction, as I had not slipped back into my old ways of dealing with such blow-outs, instead I was confident and calm. Looking back this was a huge turning point in our marriage.

It took 4 months before I saw our marriage turn the corner where we were no longer on the road to divorce and another month before I realized we were now on a new road of having a really fun wonderful marriage. I’ve always been a pretty serious woman, even as a child I wanted to act as an adult, but now this fun, funny, adventurous woman was staring to emerge, and I’ve changed into someone I really like. My husband and I celebrated our 9-year wedding anniversary this past April, since than we’ve been on a romantic vacation together (something we hadn’t done since our honeymoon), we have been laughing together daily, going on dates weekly and enjoying marriage like never before.

One criticism some say of the program is that it doesn’t talk enough about sex, but from my experience the answers are right there in the core principles of Mort’s strategy. While it’s too personal for me to speak about publicly I will share that this program solved our problems both outside and inside of the bedroom.

One note is that I did this program completely Loan Ranger style and my husband never did the program. I was able to change the entire dynamic of our relationship without him being involved in this program. Marriage Fitness was filled with simple, easy to understand principles (which felt counterintuitive). It was sprinkled with metaphors and word pictures that helped me remember what I learned so that I could apply the teachings to my daily life.

Lastly, I’ll share during this process I started enjoying a new sport- rock climbing. During this program I imagined that this adventure Mort had me on was like a mountain and that I was climbing to get to my destination. While the program had easy to understand curriculum, it was not an easy task, it took hard work and moment by moment determination and precision. I could not veer off and return to my old ways of trying to solve my problems, or surely, I would slip off the cliff and my marriage would die. Instead, I forged on with a new coach, Mort Fertel, I grabbed every ledge and made every move he suggested I climbed that mountain daily. Everything had to be done at the right time and with the right attitude in order for me to reach my goal. I’m proud to say that today is May 30, 2019 and I have reached the top of this mountain. I’m excited about where my marriage is today, it’s better than anything I could have imagined, and not just my marriage… but my new self. I’m so proud of who I have become, others have also noticed my own growth and personal change, each time I point them back to Mort Fertel and his wonderful Marriage Fitness program!

I give Mort's program 5 stars without reservation. Not only is it the best way to heal a broken marriage, it's the best way to live your life. I can feel the boundaries of my heart stretching, and I never knew I had the capacity to love this much.

The road of my marriage recovery has been long and bumpy. I have an obstinate spouse who is undergoing a lot of personal issues as a result of childhood neglect and abuse. In 2016 he suffered a nervous breakdown and was never properly treated. His walls are so high, and he is so passive aggressive that it's taken me two years to even figure out all the things I was doing and how they were making him feel.

Currently we are separated, but five weeks ago I recommitted myself to the program hard core. I am taking my newfound knowledge and giving it my all. I haven't missed a day, and haven't taken any bait intended to entice me into old behaviors. My spouse was furious with me after the apology letter. He only decided to take off his wedding band and say he was "done" after that beautiful discussion! That's how I knew it was working! That was on April 23. Now it feels like the anger is subsiding, and he's settling into just avoiding me. There are glimpses of light... a few smiles, laughs. This is extremely hard because we have two young children, I miss him so much and feel so alone.

That being said, I know this is the right thing to do. I believe that I am following a Christ-like example, which will result in peace, no matter what happens. I hope it's not to late for us, but I also know that there would be no hope without this program.

My story is a work in progress at the moment. I am diligently following Mort's (and the program's) principles and practices to restore my marriage in the Lone Ranger Track. It is not easy. But the program accurately predicts how my obstinate husband will behave. It's almost uncanny. I have so much more understanding of the issues in our marriage that led to my husband's affair(s). The program helped me see our marriage wasn't broken by the affair, but rather was already broken which allowed someone else to step into my husband's heart. Months ago he said he was going to file for divorce. That was in December, but now it's May and we talk almost every day. We're not yet where we need to be or I want us to be, but every day I am taking the steps to move the needle just a little bit. I firmly believe and have faith that one day soon my husband will give me his heart again. In the meantime, I'm working on myself... to be the best wife, mom, and person I can be. I've learned that everyone needs forgiveness and unconditional love. The program has taught me so much about being the person God wants me to be, not just how to restore my marriage. I repeatedly listen to Mort's calls...they are like a soothing balm to my heart and soul. He encourages over and over to have faith and not give up even when things seem dark and hopeless. So know this...if even one person is willing to work on the relationship, there's hope and possibility! If you are seeking a program to give yourself the best chance of renewing or restoring your marriage, then I humbly suggest you try Mort's program. At the very least, sign up for his free emails...they're worth it! I know I'll be back soon to edit my rating with news of my marriage reconciliation!
