Then my mother gave us an article about the Third Option... We found something in every topic we could use to better our relationship. The concepts...now seem to be so "common sense" that I am amazed that we needed to learn them... I have often regretted that we didn't learn of the Third Option earlier in our marriage. It would have saved us several years of pain and suffering. (J and M)We sought marriage counseling...read self-help books, attended seminars... We couldn't get our marriage on track... You armed us with the knowledge that we needed... You put the puzzle pieces together. The Third Option works. We are together because of it... (S and E)We...found ourselves in complete relationship burnout. The Third Option process provided the essential tools with which to work through even the most deep-seated problems in our relationship. We experienced such profound improvement...that we have recommended the Third Option program to many of our friends and family. (B and T)
