Wendy - Ottawa, Canada

I can honestly say that it was a life changing experience at the Marriage Seminar. My husband and I went in Oct 2005. He had gone through another seminar that was similar and thought he was not going to get anything out of it - WELL HE GOT ALOT OUT OF IT. We both are glad we INVESTED the time and effort to go. In the class you will have alot of fun - make friends, get a new outlook on life - it was interesting and fabulous. My coach was outstanding! I think this should be MANDATORY before marriage and about the 10 year mark - It brightened my world. THANK YOU Jim and Dave and all the staff - your making the world a better place!

Misty - Phoenix, AZ

To be sponsored to attend this marriage retreat is to be loved. I attended the marriage seminar not knowing what to expect. Knowing little about the exercises and drills,I attended with no inhibitions. I testify that if you truly want to learn some things about yourself,if you want to know freedom; freedom of hurts,disappointments,freedom from baggage that has been weighing you down even life long baggage. Know that self love,realization,forgiveness and freedom can be yours. Know that I am and was very,truly blessed.

I went to bootcamp jan 08 in dallas tx. It was do or die for me. I felt like my marriage was over. The following monday i had made an appt with the lawyer to start divorce.I got airplane tickets and signed up for the bootcamp just so i had the peace of mind that i had tried. I threw the tickets at my husband and told him that i did not care if he goes or not. well the first two days of the seminar were nerve wracking and I just kept going but very eye opening. The third day i felt like i could open up and face my fears. Very scarey at first but I felt like a ton was lifted off my shoulders or a lightening. I am not religious and they did not push that issue but asked me to be receptive. I would definitely say this is the best thing i have done for myself.I would recommend to anyone who is wondering if they should try it.

Judy - Houston, TX

The Marriage Boot Camp was the greatest gift I have ever given myself! I was set free of unforgiveness within myself and I have my joy back that was stolen from me as a child! I am so excited about life and I can now move forward to be all that God has called me to be as a woman of God! I would recommend this to everyone!

Samantha - Harrisburg, PA

Before attending the Marriage Camp my husband and I had gone threw a separation and filed for divorce. We had only recently tried getting back together and working things out, which wasn't going very well. I was a little apprehensive wondering if it was even going to work for us.. I can't believe how moving it was. We are more in love now then we have EVER been.. We still have our moments don't get me wrong.. But we have the tools to get threw almost anything.

Machel - Los Angeles

This is the best personal and spiritual enrichment I could ever do for "me". I have a new understanding for my relationships.

Pauline - Dallas

I learned that I am my own worst enemy and how many rocks I had put into my love jar. I learned that I don't have to take responsibility for everyone and that it is okay to take care of myself and then I can share myself with others.

Airika - Winnipeg

Before attending the Boot Camp, I had a lot of hatred towards my parents due to past events. I can now say that I truly forgive them. I was able to put all that baggage in the past. Going through this program has helped my husband and I to learn how to work things out without fighting so much.

The marriage seminar boot camp opened my eyes to what I was doing to myself. I haven't been attending any social activities due to old fears. Now I am excited about making new friends and being more involved.

Brad- Atlanta, GA

On the Monday after the Marriage bootcamp, I had a close friend who was unware that I attended, comment to me that I must have had a great weekend because I seemed "refreshed and radiating a positive glow." I explained to him my experience at the bootcamp and he is now considering signing up!

Sherry - Vancouver

The Marriage Retreat was VERY worthwhile - very incredible. I was almost expecting my good feelings to go away but I have actually felt BETTER every day! Also I have a lot more energy - the baggage that I left behind was obviously taking a big toll on me. I was impressed with the organization of the program as well as the purity of its motives.

Victoria, Kearney,NE

Ok. My best advice is to take that marriage bootcamp seriously. My husband and I went, dealt with some things, went back home and seperated 3 months later. Yes, after 10 months, we are still married. BUT, we did not really deal with the issues of our marriage. We forgot what we learned almost as soon as we left. As I watch the bootcamp on t.v., I realize that we did not even come near facing problems like the featured couples did. I wish I could do it again. TAKE IT Seriously and DON'T Forget.

Beverly - Dallas

Through the exercises and drills at the boot camp, the love I have for my husband has been rekindled and strengthened along with a determination to be a more understanding and supportive with to him. Members of Christ Resurrection Church

Lonnie _ Pearland, TX

My husband and I are thrilled with the outcome of the Marriage Retreat Bootcamp. We have been able to take what we learned and apply it to our lives. It's only been two weeks and there is a dramatic change in our lives already. Four months ago, I was ready to take my children and leave my husband but the Lord sent us to the Marriage Bootcamp to learn how to love and respect each other. Jim and David were awesome!

Crissy - Los Angeles, CA

It just isn't possible for me to explain the difference the Marriage Retreat made in my life and subsequently my family's. But it must be pretty big because now my husband who was not even a little interested has decided he wants to go to camp as well after seeing the change I went through. There is no turning back;Praise God!

Connie - Atlanta

It taught me to forgive and to tear down the wall that I had built to insulate myself from pain. I realized while protecting myself from pain, I couldn't let in the love or share love.

Kathy- Dallas, TX

Words cannot describe the affect that the Marriage Seminar Boot Camp will have on you...It's an experience. No one lectures you. No one tells you what you do wrong. Instead you are led through drills and games that teach. You come out with a renewed spirit and life takes on new meaning. Many times I hear people say at the end of Marriage Retreat that they do not want to leave, they do not want seminar to end. They have made new friends and they have learned to love themselves and forgive others. This feeling CAN last forever. Come back each month and be a trainer. The experience is uplifting and exhilerating. There is no "high" like the one you feel on Saturday night. I am renewed each time I train and I look forward to Boot Camp each month. This is something I feel called by God to do and I have a closer relationship with Him because of my affiliation with the Marriage Boot Camp. I attended Marriage Boot Camp to find a way to develop a better relationship with my spouse, instead I found a renewed relationship with our Holy Father and Saviour. I am happier now than I have ever been in my life and I have learned to forgive and leave the hurt behind. -Trainer, Life Enrichment Boot Camp

Michelle - Winnipeg

The Boot Camp marriage seminar changed my life for the better. I forgave the past and I love myself.

Margaret -Plano, TX

This has been my most life changing experience. I came thinking I’m done, after 18 years it’s over. I had so much hurt, pain, & depression. I was also mad God. I’d asked how much pain can I take. We’d been in counseling for 2 years. Through the drills and games I found healing and my way back to God. My husband knows he’s holding something fragile & delicate in his hands & I know he’s willing to give 100% to me. Was it is easy NO WAY! Would I do it again ABSOLUTLY 100%!

Julie - Jackson, MS

The Marriage Retreat was a blessing. After my affair, I was looking for a way to fix the problems I had and for forgiveness from my husband. Let me put it this way---I am FREE. I have my husband-the love of my life and will never stray again. The bootcamp gave us the tools to work on our problems and keep our relationship alive. We attended the couples MARRIAGE SEMINAR ADVANCED TRAINING program--that is what we needed. Thank You to Jim, David, and everybody else!!!!

Cindy - Ogden, UT

Thank you so much for giving your time, energy and love at the Marriage Boot Camp. You really know what you're doing. I feel transformed and alive again. My husband & I have a new start to rebuild our marriage. The Marriage Retreat was out last hope to try to save our marriage and it really worked. We were headed straight for divorce. I have no doubt that we would be divorced if it wasn't for the marriage seminar. We couldn't even talk to each other anymore due to our anger & resentment. Now, we are connected again and have hope for the happy family that we both want. Thanks again for giving the gift of happiness, peace and a family staying together! I can't express to you how grateful I am.

Sarah - Atlanta, GA

The Marriage Boot Camp gave me a safe place to work through my issues. I now have hope for a new worthy and valuable life.

Machel - Ft. Worth, TX

The Life Enrichment Boot Camp has been the best personal and spiritual enrichment for me. I have new understanding for my relationship with my husband. My marriage has been restored as well as my relationship with God.

Garry - Dallas

I wanted to say the boot camp really messed up my life. I can't seem to get anything done anymore around the house. All I want to do is spend time with my wife. I had gotten to the point it was easy for me to ignore her and now all I want to do is spend time with her. Neither one of us is getting much accomplished. We are acting so immature. You'd think we just got married or just fell in love with our new behavior.

Dawn & Adonis, Palm Springs, CA

Wow is all I can say. We are an engaged couple with a 5 year history of ups and downs. We decided to go to the Marriage Boot Camp hoping it would help us get past the issues we have and concentrate on growing the love we feel for each other. This retreat was life-changing, and has been the greatest gift for our relationship. We found we are not alone with our issues and learned valulble tools to help us communicate, forgive, love and cherish each other. Not only that, we met the best friends ever! We loved it so much we want to volunteer and sponsor everyone we know. It\'s incredible for couples and singles! Thank you for changing our lives! The wedding is now on and schedule for August 2008.

Crystal - Mabank

The Boot Camp did two things for me. It brought me back to God and it brought me closer to my fiancé. We have been given the tools to have a successful marriage. I can honestly say I am ready for marriage. Member of First United Methodist of Mabank

Linda - Houston

At the marriage seminar I have found confidence to go and do what the Lord has called me to do. I am able to trust others more and I believe in myself.

Jason - Dallas, TX

I was a skeptic of the Marriage Boot Camp when I entered the program. I thought it would be a "touchy-feely" program where I was preached to a lot. I was VERY wrong. This is an amazing program that will benefit ANYONE. If you think you need it or not, I highly recommend this program. I learned so much about myself and felt so good about life in general when it was over. I cannot relay the entire impact this program had on me because I learn more from it every day.

Maureen - McKinney, Texas

The Marriage Seminar gave me my life and marriage back. Distrust and the inability to forgive were blocking me from moving forward. I have learned through the boot camp how to forgive those who have hurt me in the past, my parents and my husband. I can now move forward in my marriage and we can see the love we had when we first met. How wonderful!!! Member of McKinney Fellowship Bible Church

Russell - Winnipeg

This marriage conference helped me release some bad memories of my past. I forgave people in my past, and I have opened up my future for more love to be in my life. It helped me realized that God has not, and will never, stop chasing after my heart. I realized that God has given me gifts to use, and I won't be happy until I reach my full potential.

Marianne - Winnipeg

I went into the Marriage Boot Camp not realizing how much shame I was carrying. I am in a marriage that, by the worlds standards, should be over. In the worlds eyes I should have left my husband many years ago. However, I have felt the Lord telling me time and time again that I am to remain with my husband as long as he is in the process of recovery and wants to be free of the chains that bind him. I am not in a physically abusive relationship, but my husband has issues that stem from his childhood. He is working on those issues, but it is taking alot of time and patience. Sometimes I feel ashamed that I have remained by his side. I feel that the world looks at me as the biggest codependent woman in history. However, the Boot Camp helped me to realize that I am okay! I am right where God wants me! There may come a time when I have to walk away, but for now I am in the right place and I have no reason to feel ashamed of that. I came away with a new sense of self-worth! I found that I am a "forgiving, free and joyful woman". I am forgiving because that is how God made me and I choose to forgive. I am free because I have forgiven and I have broken free of the chains of unforgiveness. And, I am joyful because I am free to be the woman God created me to be.

Barbara - Atlanta

The marriage seminar delivered me from bitterness about 9/11.

Bridget - Vancouver

My marriage hit bottom. We were in therapy. I couldn't open my heart. I was searching, I needed something.......... The Marriage Seminar Boot Camp gave me my answer.

Teresa - Vancouver

At the marriage seminar I overcame low self esteem, to become a confident, strong, worthwhile woman.

Jacqueline - Vancouver

I am finally freed from abuse!

Bryan - Dallas, TX

When I came to the Marriage Boot Camp, I wasn't sure what to expect, but I was open to change and gave 100% to the program. During the marriage seminar, I was able to forgive my father, whom I've hadn't had any contact with in over 25 years. More importantly I was finally able to forgive myself. The day after graduation I called my dad. The day after that we met for lunch and have started a brand new relationship.

Paula - Dallas

Brenda

We just attended the Santa Ana bootcamp with Ron and Tina, I urge you to try it. If you are married, want more, don\'t know how you\'re going to make it, sign up. If you are feeling bitter, angry, guilty or ashamed, sign up. If your spouse bothers you, disgusts you, bores you, or embarrasses you, sign up. If you don\'t remember why you chose the person you are with and dream about leaving, sign up. If it is all your spouse’s fault, sign up. Before signing the divorce papers, attend this seminar. Make it a condition before signing the divorce papers. Make sure your spouse comes. It may fail, but this bootcamp will help you feel you did what you could. My husband and I were not on the brink of divorce (most of the time) but we’ve had some problems. We were losing hope, we were tired of the fighting and couldn’t see a way to stop. I was scared. And today, we’re more in love with each other than we\'ve ever been. We arrived with a “take what you can get and leave the rest” attititude and it worked, we felt safe enough to make our own choices and found our way back to each other, actually, we found our way to a place than is better than we ever had. The price is right. We’ve shopped around and it is a bargain because they rely on us alumni to sponsor others. So, if you don’t get anything out of it, you don’t have to sponsor anyone. The freedom to make our own choices helped me get around my discomfort with their Christian bias in the realm of spirituality. Really, divorce is so difficult, wouldn’t it be easy of you didn’t want a divorce and could be happier than you’d ever been? Maybe it’s not for you, but maybe it is…

Vanessa, Austin, TX

My husband and I were on our LAST LEG when we attended the boot camp. I was very skeptical that a four day \"seminar\" would do anything for us. Boy, was I wrong! First of all, it was not a seminar. It was nothing like any thing I could have imagined. I won\'t give away any details...don\'t want to spoil it for anyone. I will just say that my husband and I are again HAPPILY married. The boot camp changed the course of my marriage and most importantly changed my outlook on life in general! Good luck to you all!!
