For years, we have had requests from hurting couples seeking a local professional to help them with their marriage. But they don't want to just randomly select someone from the yellow pages. They have already tried that, in many cases several times, and have been very disappointed. These couples found that you just don't know a professional's "philosophical orientation." In other words, "Where are they coming from and how do I know they will help us?"

The requests we receive from couples are for a professional in their local area who use the Marriage Builders® concepts and philosophy in their practice. People who have visited the Marriage Builders® web site and have read Dr. Harley's books have come to realize that there is a way to take a bad to average marriage and make it great! They also realize that it can be easier said than done in some cases and need outside help to get things going.

We are now opening a growing database that you can access for free. You can use search criteria such as state, city and zip code to find someone close to you who uses the Marriage Builders® concepts and philosophy to help couples fall in love and stay in love. You will be provided with the necessary contact information to call them immediately. However, we still strongly encourage you to use the guidelines found in our article "How to Find a Good Marriage Counselor." The database is to be used as a starting point with which to find someone where you can now eliminate one of the biggest concerns: Do they have a successful plan to make our marriage great? Because if they are in the database, then the answer is a definite "Yes!"

All Marriage Builders® Partners Registry members are required to not only be very familiar with the Marriage Builders® concepts and philosophy, but are also required to use them in their practice.

If your search reveals that a professional has not yet registered in your area, be sure to check back soon as more members will be regularly added to the database.

We are very excited about this latest addition to the Marriage Builders® collection of resources. Although we always encourage you share your thoughts with us, we are particularly interested in hearing from you regarding the Marriage Builders® Partners Registry. It is something new for us and we want to make sure that it provides you with the right information to find the help you need. So, please let us know what you think.
