I've just started this program, but so far I've been told, "Don't read any other books about marriage, don't talk to a therapist about doing this program, don't tell anybody else you're doing this program." My husband is already controlling. I don't need a marriage counseling program that tries to control me as well.
Response to Vicki - My husband and I both decided together to do this program. I did not ask for my subscription to be canceled. Was it canceled so that I wouldn't be able to show anybody proof of the fact that participants are ordered not to share any information about the program with others?

I bought the book "Break the Cycle". Watched many of Paul's youtube videos and bought the course...
I reached out to them and their response was repulsively misogynistic and rude. Their demeaning...
The Marriage Foundation is not an ordinary counseling service; just about all of our clients come to us after watching a number of youtube videos featuring free advice from our founder, Mr. Paul Friedman, or were referred by a friend, family member, or clergy, and sometimes a therapist.
Janet, differently, was added to her husband's account by her husband (we strongly advise against that without the other fully wanting to have the course, too) and apparently she did not appreciate what she heard in the welcome video (the only class she watched) but especially did she appreciate the standard suggestions our counselor wrote to her in response to her intake form, that other forms of marriage "help" are a definite distraction from the work one must do when adhering to our courses.
Our processes are effective and our successes over the years proves that we are as solid a resource as can be found, especially for marriages that are on, or past, the brink.
We did not hear from Janet before his review or we would have simply refunded her husband's payment. In 20 years we have never had anything like this happen with a client, but we refunded his payment and wish them both only success and happiness.
It should be noted that clients sign up only for a 3 day trial and the payment we refunded was for the discounted add-on. We have never taken payment that wasn't made with gratitude for what our clients received, and some even choose to donate to our foundation because we deliver a marriage undreamed of, just as God intended for us,
