Saved after infidelity
"By the time I found Fred Talisman, Cindy was ready to break up with me. I was devastated. She is the person I love more than anyone. She is my soul mate. She felt that she could never trust me again and that she could never forgive me. Before I found Fred, I had tried other things and spoke to other people, but not only were their methods ineffective, some actually made things worse with her! I saw couples counseling with Fred as my last resort but she wouldn't do it with me. I worked with Fred on my own while working with his home study course, 'Save Your Relationship.' I'm not geographically close to Fred's office, so I worked with him by phone. To my amazement, working with Fred by phone was more valuable than any help I've gotten in person. Thanks to Fred, she gave me a last chance. Fred gave me hope beyond hope. I was impressed with his depth of understanding and compassion. I saw the first improvements with her almost immediately after the first session I did with Fred. Cindy and I got married almost a year after the crisis that Fred got us through. Using the things that Fred taught me, my wife and I are now stronger than ever as a couple. Our relationship gets better everyday. And that's not all! She is now pregnant going on 20 weeks! I am so incredibly excited about what this little life will become. We are ecstatic. Everything is working really well. It's amazing. I'm very grateful and thankful for all of Fred's incredible help. The skills he taught me have also improved every other relationship in my life, including my friends, relatives, work mates and casual acquaintances. If everyone learned Fred's skills and put them into practice, the world would be a much better place. I really can't thank Fred enough and by the grace of God, I am on a much better track now with my wife. Fred not only showed me how to save my relationship. He also forever changed my life for the better. What I got from Fred is the most valuable help I have ever received."

Saved us after last counselor told us we shouldn't be together
"My husband and I personify the saying, "Opposites attract," and one Saturday three months ago we'd finally hit the wall; We were in that make it or break it moment. This was especially frustrating because for the ten months prior we'd been seeing a highly recommended psychologist who seemed to make our emotional situation worse. Every session went about the same: we'd air our discontents, yelling would commence, tears would fall, and the psychologist would "arbitrate", but offer no tangible alternative ways of dealing with our conflict and emotions when he wasn't there with us. Then he'd conclude that while we were both, "intelligent, kind, loving people, maybe you're just not cut out to be together." Nothing felt more awful than being told by a professional that our relationship was probably doomed. We knew we loved each other – and I knew there had to be some better way. In desperation on that particular Saturday I googled "how to save my marriage" and that took me to Fred's website. Half an hour later we had him on the phone (on a Saturday, no less!). He asked us both one simple question, "Are you committed to saving your marriage?" Even though we were raw with anger, resentment, and hurt, we each said yes. And then he scheduled us a session for later that day. Ever since that first session Fred has been gently providing us with relationship skills we hadn't been taught before. His approach is non-judgmental, and deliberately – remarkably – simple, and his techniques do work quickly if you are dedicated to following the steps he's laid out for you. He provided us with time-tested ways to stop our fights before they start, and the techniques one needs to function more healthily in their relationship. Best of all he's started to give us a way to better accept each other the way we are – rather than try to change one another. And he does this without psychoanalysis or psychobabble. It is a very refreshing approach to couples counseling; He's not just a relationship saver, he's a relationship builder. Thanks Fred!"

Client Testimonials
"Fred gave us hope when we thought there was none left."
Am I your best hope to help you to save your relationship?
I imagine it's really hard and maybe a little bit scary for you to decide who to get help from. You may feel that couples counseling is your last hope but you may also know of people who went to a marriage counselor and they felt the marriage counselor did more harm than good or wound up ending their relationship.
I'm going to briefly tell you about me and how I work so that you have enough information to determine if I'm the one that's most likely to be able to help you to save your relationship.
For over 25 years I've specialized in saving relationships that were on the verge of ending even when only one person still wanted the relationship to work and even when they had no hope that it could be saved and even when their partner wasn't willing to get help with them. I am happy to help you to rescue your relationship.
"It's my passion to save relationships, to keep families together and to make the relationship work for both people."
You probably know of people who went to couples counseling and it wound up ending their relationship.
When a relationship is in crisis, it's in a very delicate state. Couples counseling is not neutral. If done correctly it can make the difference between saving your relationship and your relationship ending. If done incorrectly, it can push the relationship over the edge.
All marriage counselors and relationship coaches have their biases.
Some marriage counselors think that if a relationship isn't working, a person should get out. They'll tend to guide an individual or couple in that direction. I think of them as relationship enders.
In my experience, that first session with a couple, especially when a person has already told their partner they want to break up, is a very delicate, critical time.
I'm a family and relationship saver. It's my passion to save relationships, to keep families together and to make the relationship work for both people.
Can your relationship be saved?
If you're like many people who've contacted me for help, you might be thinking that it's just too late to save your relationship if your partner has threatened to break up.
So, can your relationship be saved? In my experience, most relationships end unnecessarily and the breakup could have been prevented with the right kind of help.
If your partner isn't willing to get help with you, is your relationship doomed?
Here's my question for you. How many people in a relationship does it take to save the relationship? Obvious answer, right? It takes two people to save a relationship. Of course. Right?…WRONG! It takes a minimum of one person, not both, to save a relationship and to keep a family together.
With so many of the relationships I've helped, including the ones that were in crisis when I first got involved, I've only worked with one person. They took what I gave them and successfully stopped their breakup and reconciled their relationship.
I would have been happy to work with them as a couple. It just wasn't an option because their partner wasn't willing to join us in the process. I'm a realist. I have a mission to help you to save your relationship and to keep your family under one roof. I work with what I have to work with.
"In my 50+ years of saving relationships, I have helped to save lots of relationships where only one person got my direct help."

Please keep in mind that I can communicate with you a lot more effectively by phone or texting than I can by email. Also, I check my phone at every break. I check my email a lot less often.
What should you do next?
Here's my first piece of advice to you. If from what you just read you think I might be your best or last hope, call me right now to take the first step. It doesn't matter what time it is. When I stop working for the day I turn my phone off so you're not going to wake up myself or my wife. If you call during my waking hours and I'm doing a session, it goes right to voice mail so you're not going to disturb me. DO leave a message.
I will call you back at my first break. I understand and respect the fact that you're urgently trying to save your relationship and to keep your family together and that you need to make contact with me as soon as possible.
When is it too late for a relationship to be saved and when is a relationship definitely over?
In my experience, the one timing when a relationship is definitely over is when the person that wanted to save the relationship gives up. Because, then there is no advocate in the relationship to rescue it. So, whether your partner is willing to get help with you or whether you are the only one in the relationship who is trying to save it, call me. I will give you my professional opinion if I think I can help you to save it.
