Getting Started
GETTING FROM HERE TO THERE
Our goal is to help you create A GREAT MARRIAGE.  Wherever you are now, you may not be able to see the way there.  It is easier than you imagine.  It takes awareness, acceptance, a willingness to change and a great deal of practice to instill new habits, but it does not entail the proverbial "brain surgery" complications.  A GREAT MARRIAGE develops when you sense you are loved and supported by your mate at all moments even the ones when you are not "at your best."  Practice turns love and mutual attraction into unconditional, mature love where the fear of revealing yourself is alleviated by the certainty of being accepted for who you are.  It is a continual process of experiencing the joy of connection while living the life each of us wants for ourselves. The hardest thing to do is to start because we think the love bond is strong enough and our belief in the other person is so powerful to sustain a marriage.  Besides, getting help is often seen as weakness because we believe we can handle things by ourselves.  It is as if we think our relationship is so unique that no one else can help us make it any better until what we have been doing no longer works for us.  It's like believing we can find auto insurance after an accident.  Our work here at TCFM is, in part, to nudge you to consider something other than what you believe to be true, that you may not be right or in control of all the things pertinent to a great relationship and that you allow your partner to be equal to you.  Being in relationship is the best place to discover who you truly are in this life.  Don't let this opportunity pass you by.

WADING INTO THE WATERS
A closer examination of the experiences TCFM has to offer can be accomplished with a special trial 3-month membership.  With this membership, you will be able to audit (there is no homework evaluation when auditing courses) any course offerings, receive three issues of TCFM EZine, "The Relationship Digest," go through a free relationship assessment with its vital results, participate in our members-only on-line discussion group and receive 24/7 support for your relationship issues as they arise in real time.  After three months, you will be given the option to extend your membership for a year or to avail yourself of any classes or consulting of your choice at the regular TCFM rates.
GETTING ALL WET
Sign up for the next course offering for TCFM Course 1.  As soon as you sign up, you will automatically be given a six-month membership in TCFM so you can get a free assessment, audit subsequent course offerings during your membership period, receive six issues of TCFM EZine, "The Relationship Digest," participate in our members-only on-line discussion group and receive 24/7 support for your relationship issues as they arise in real time.  Or sign up for consulting, an intense three-month-long process that includes your relationship assessment and 24/7 relationship support.  Consulting will get you prepared to successfully complete TCFM courses and create A GREAT MARRIAGE.  Consulting works for very specific issues like money (see our special offering on Money and Couples), sex, children, dealing with exes or for any issue you find a source of difficulty in your marriage.  Like the coursework, most of the work in consulting will be done by you as you are nudged to try something different.  At the end of your consulting period you can choose to do more on a monthly basis or join TCFM at a 50% membership discount for one year.
