Marriage Success Stories and No Blame, No Shame Imago Therapy Reviews

The following imago therapy reviews and marriage success stories will warm your heart. All of them are authentic and were sent to us, unsolicited, by clients and program participants. Tap here if you’d like to make a time to speak with us to discuss your situation!

imago therapy We wanted to let you know that we completed our two day intensive this past weekend. We just wanted to tell you what a positive experience we had with the therapist. He was an excellent and patient coach. Our time flew by, which is saying a lot considering the reason why we were there. We were very impressed with the Imago program. We discovered things about ourselves and our partner that we never knew, such as the reason why we react the way we do or the reason why certain things trigger us. Overall, this intensive has taught us effective tools to use in the future. We look forward to our future sessions!

imago therapy My husband and I had our intensive sessions this past weekend, and I wanted to thank you so much. The therapist was truly wonderful. He created a calm and safe environment, and guided us through our conversations with wonderful coaching. We left yesterday feeling grateful that we took a leap of faith in a program that we just happened to find on the internet, and hopeful that we learned things about ourselves and each other that will help us renew the strength and love in our marriage.


imago therapy I was skeptical at first thinking how much could one possibly achieve in two days and am happy to say my fears were wrong. I took much more away from the initial 48 hours than I had ever expected!


imago therapy We have been consistently seeking help for our relationship for 33+ years even when trying to decide if to marry. We were three months into an in-house separation and I was experiencing my worst depression ever. After one round of the first exercise I experienced more safety, empathy, and breakthrough than EVER before.


imago therapy This provided powerful emotional experiences and useful information that I believe will serve to improve our relationship.


imago therapy This program was life changing. Thank you for an amazing 2 days, I am forever grateful. I would definitely recommend this to any friend and especially any couples just starting out, I only wish we would have done this about 20 years ago.


imago therapy This experience was so different than other sources of help we’ve looked into. I want people to know how helpful this experience was and how much it helped us. Rabbi Slatkin really cares and is so easy to talk to, he was amazing. I felt that the program gave us the insights and tools we lacked in our marriage and understanding of each other. It completely changed my views on the issues that my husband and I had and how to dialogue and communicate to really hear each other and provide each other what we need.


imago therapy To those seeking help with their marriage,

Quite simply Rabbi Slatkin’s intensive marriage program helped my wife and I save our marriage.  We are both successful, busy professionals with Type A personalities. Both divorced and used to getting our own way, each having our “way” of doing things.  What started as two people together and aligned, greatly in love, had changed to two people in conflict and questioning if we each had made a bad choice. We tried traditional marriage counseling. That did not work as, after each 50 minute session, we went back to our routines as much as we wanted to use what we had been taught.

As a last resort, we looked into intensive marriage programs. While there were lots different programs, philosophies, and approaches, we narrowed it down to 4 we both felt comfortable with and contacted each. After our calls we decided that Rabbi Slatkin’s calm, deliberate and warm demeanor differed from more clinical approaches. He told us we were right where we were “supposed” to be, and he could help us help ourselves.  We spent intense time with Rabbi Slatkin and he indeed help us understand more about ourselves and each other. We understood where our issues came from, and more importantly, forgave each other past mistakes. We learned how to communicate without all of the “stuff” of our past and present getting in the way.

That was about 45 days ago, and we are thrilled to have our marriage back.  We communicate in an open, not threatening, non judgmental manner. We have gone back in time and now enjoy each other the way we both expected to when we got married.  It takes work and dedication, but the rewards for us have been enormous. I feel absolutely sure that Rabbi Slatkin was/is right for us and we recommend him to others without hesitation.

Sincerely,

Mike and Ana


imago therapy I had the distinct privilege of working with Rabbi Slatkin and my husband for a two day seminar.

Not only is he masterful in translating the skills necessary to incorporate Imago into ones life, but he has a G-d given talent of genuine empathy and understanding of the human psyche.

I was blown away by his focus and ability to connect to the most complex and diverse situations!

We are a blended family , (with both major and minor issues) and he was able to help us in many areas.

He navigates the sessions with a unique ability to show no judgement, ( only a deep alignment with the struggle), and a tremendous humility!

I am grateful for the treasure of the two day seminar and am hopeful that the tools we learned together will improve the quality of our marriage!

My only regret is that we don’t live in the same state! I feel that the investment of time and money was well worth it for us!


imago therapy After spending several months feeling stuck, depressed, and despondent in our marriage, I knew there had to be a way out and that the way out didn’t have to mean divorce lawyers, more anguish, and ruining the lives of our children. My husband was much less certain. But after meeting Rabbi Slatkin and doing the private retreat, my husband was able to completely revamp his thoughts, open his heart, and repave the road of destruction he thought he was traveling.

Rabbi Slatkin is an expert in this field, having studied Imago Therapy, and uses this as the basis to reteach couples how to communicate and heal. Many couples are unaware of their potential to communicate and relate on a deeper level, but after participating in his exercises, it became to clear to us how much more there was to our relationship than we had ever dared to know. We were hooked.

Our time together flew by, and we left yearning for more. We cannot believe how much we learned, how many new habits we’d like to create, and the potential that our marriage has.

We can’t thank Rabbi Slatkin enough for what he has done for us, and we are happy to recommend him to anyone else in need. We are certain you will feel the same gratitude for having been able to turn your lives around.

What is so unique about this experience is that Rabbi Slatkin spends 12 hours in two days with you, allowing you to make great, immediate progress, and you really focus on the issues at hand without being distracted by other responsibilities of life.

His voice is soothing and calming, allowing him to always remain neutral and to deescalate any heated moments. We never felt like he sided with anyone and he mostly encouraged us to talk through our issues without interrupting except for occasional feedback or reframing.

The exercises he does with you greatly enhance the couples’ connection and work to improve the overall feeling of the relationship.


imago therapy I wanted to share how my story was/is effected by your awesome work.

For me the first step was reading your book as I was preparing for our 30th wedding anniversary. The Power of Commitment touched me very deeply and opened my eyes not just to the impact it has on our marriage.

I first realized on a personal level, how I needed to commit to myself, my own well-being, before I could commit to a marriage. Wow, after being with someone for 30 years, raising children together, this was HUGE!

Without that first step to make a commitment to myself, I couldn’t commit to my spouse, even though I really wanted our marriage to work.

Later, I talked my husband into signing up for Marriage School together.

He reluctantly agreed, and we did the first few Modules together.
At a certain point (asking for an appointment to dialogue) he quit and said it’s not working. I was quite upset at first, but then just continued on alone. I could apply the principles of Communication even without him formally agreeing to participate. Not in a manipulative way. Just naturally, asking for feedback (mirroring), asking if I / it made sense etc.

A few months into this “invisible” (on his part) Marriage School practice, we are so close and so much more gentle with each other.

I love sharing appreciations and acknowledgements and have naturally softened myself in the process. I don’t feel threatened anymore even when we disagree. I don’t panic even when he loses his centre and comes from the “Little Boy”..

Talking about self empowerment!

You are right, I’ve been on the spiritual path form my adolescence and Desired Truth and Enlightenment, and nothing compared to the Practice Ground of Marriage to truly feel En-Lightened and Em-Powered.. when we have the right guidance and tools as well as Commitment, Patience and Willingness!

Deep Gratitude for your work, may it resonate with many!


imago therapy We’d be separated right now if not for Rabbi Shlomo Slatkin. Ten years of marriage, 3 kids under 6, and ongoing arguments about the same issues brought us to a fork in the road. We had a breaking point that started the divorce process. After a week of separation, we agreed to seek counseling. We found a praised relationship counselor, but our meetings with him led to increased resentment, new ways to hate each other, arguing, and the worst feeling either of us have ever had. Counseling failed miserably. I was seeing an independent therapist, who happened to be an Imago certified counselor, and he gave me the book “getting the love you want,” and the text resonated with both of us. After searching for retreats, we found Rabbi Slatkin. My wife was raised Catholic and I was raised without religion. Finding a new point of view was important to both of us. We wanted to truly listen to and seek guidance from a new influence. We live in Michigan and drove to Baltimore for the session. My wife and I found what we were looking for! We found each other in the deepest way possible. No arguments. No resentment. We felt like we started a second marriage or graduated from “marriage college”.  We are eager to recommend the Imago process, and Rabbi Shlomo Slatkin, to any couple. Especially those seeking restoration of their marriage, a deeper connection, or couples who need to “find each other” again.

* At the brink of a break-up, after 21 years of marriage, we took one last step to try and save our union. We investigated numerous couple therapists, and researched in detail how they conduct their versions of marriage intensives. After multiple rounds of interviews, we began to feel that Shlomo Slatkin, while being as competent as anyone else, also radiated this special, warm confidence – as if he was doing his life’s purpose and we were THE couple he was going to help. With a balanced mix of structure and sensitivity to our needs, Rabbi Slatkin confidently guided us through two days of self-reflection, discovery, and transformation. Combined with the “Getting the Love You Want” book, authored by Imago’s founders, Shlomo Slatkin’s intensive allowed us to undergo two individual transformations, and a third one – the transformation of our marriage. After the intensive, we embarked firmly on building a new type of union – the conscious marriage – that we realized we never really had (and that everyone deserves and is able to build). And after the retreat, Shlomo Slatkin did not leave us with unfinished business, but instead guided us through numerous & productive, 1.5-hour Skype sessions to build better communication and marriage building skills. Today, we enjoy deep, newly-found intimacy at all levels in our relationship. We are forever grateful to Rabbi Slatkin for saving our marriage, saving our love! And we recommend Rabbi Slatkin with no hesitation to couples in search of marital help & advice!!!With gratitude,

imago therapy reviews  Thank you so much for your book!!! It is the best book that I have ever read about marriage counseling. I finished reading the whole book within 2.5 hours I was not able to put it down. Every single page described me and my marriage and I can not thank you enough for putting it down so black and white! I have been married for 7 years and most of the time I disrespected my husband, blamed him mostly for everything, and saw myself superior to him. Yesterday, the camels back broke and I found myself hitting rock bottom. Yesterday night I think I had the first true conversation with my husband since before our marriage! Thank you again!


imago therapy reviews  Your book was very helpful to me. Last year it was (more specifically the Chapter on Commitment) part of a very powerful process leading up to our 30th wedding anniversary, resulting in an opening to myself on a very deep level I never knew was possible before. This opening consequently became a catalyst for a very healing journey for our marriage… still unfolding…I love the feeling I get when you send emails. Just seeing your names reminds me of the great shift in my experience, the Divine Gift you gave and I was able to receive. Thank you! With Respect and Appreciation.


imago therapy reviewsAfter going through your program, I feel like a completely different person. Although we have spent years in therapy, we were still on the verge of divorce. The skills we have learned with your imago therapy have helped us break the vicious cycle of conflict and we are actually able to enjoy each other’s company again.

Harold


imago therapy reviewsI pulled your program down from the shelf on the very day I got an e-mail from you. I put it up there many months before, thinking everything was, shall we say, hunky-dory. It was not. After much insistence and cajoling, my wife started to read the book. I have already finished reading it. Things have started to improve. Just the process of acknowledging and trying to improve our relationship is powerful stuff!

John


imago therapy reviews“We are forever grateful to you! The suggestions in your marriage program are working so well, even with our infidelity situation. Outbursts due to the rupture from affair are becoming less frequent!”

Martin


imago therapy reviewsIf you’ve had it ‘up to here’ in your marriage, and feel like it’s a losing cause, we suggest you invest in Marriage Mastery. Through a series of thought-provoking questions, engaging audio, and over one hundred pages of text, you’re guided through five meaningful steps that help you re-evaluate the reason you married in the first place, and how to recommit your heart to your mate and marriage. Give this information your attention & effort, and you will be on the path to marriage restoration!

Dear Rabbi Slatkin,

imago therapy reviewsMy husband and I just got back from our 2 day Intensive couples counseling sessions with you. I’m not even sure where to begin! We are blown away! We are married for close to two years and in recent months our relationship kept spiraling downward as we increasingly became upset with each other due to expectations we deemed unmet as well as constant misunderstandings! We’ve been seeing another therapist who was trained in EFT for about 10 weeks but we were becoming more frustrated, despondent, and hopeless as things seemed to be getting worse versus better!!! As our last session by our previous therapist resulted in my husband angrily and frustratingly stating “I’m out of this marriage”, I realized WE MUST FIND HELP ELSEWHERE ASAP!!

Luckily, after extensive research I chanced upon your site. Somehow, the messages conveyed as you readily share your own experience with Imago therapy in your marriage and your belief in the foundation of marriage that if there are true intentions all marriages can be helped, resonated in me as true and meaningful! I am so glad I reached out! I must say my husband was very skeptical that indeed this type of therapy will be helpful and an answer to all our problems. He was especially concerned since I had SO MANY issues with him that he couldn’t fathom we’d even get trough half in 2 days. Luckily, my husband is indeed a caring, loving, and smart man and having seen my strong feelings toward this very likely helping us he surprised me by booking our 2 day intensive appointment! This has been the best gift ever!

We both feel that working with you has helped us beyond our wildest dreams. We feel that the imago process and your facilitating our dialogues was conducted with amazing dignity and expertise from your end. The sessions throughout was within a calm and respectful atmosphere which enabled us to feel safe, and vulnerable and thus allowing for healing and understanding to come about naturally and constructively!

Kudos to you for such amazing great work! Your empathy, caring, and passion for what you do along with your knowledge and expertise shown through!

May you continue helping many others who can so benefit from your work, just as we did!

Forever Grateful,

David and Esther

imago therapy reviewsI had little hope for our marriage surviving and wondered how we could possibly deal with two decades of hurt and dysfunction in a relatively short time. In fact, just like the books say, having the experience of “being heard for the first time” was profoundly and instantly transformative. I can hardly think of a marriage that wouldn’t benefit from work with him. And thinking of all of the people I know who have been divorced, I think that at least half of the marriages could have been saved by two days with Rabbi Slatkin.

Ruth, Cleveland, Ohio


imago therapy reviews“Thank you for working with us in such a kind, compassionate, competent manner and helping to give us hope – hope that not only can our marriage survive, but actually thrive, flourish and become healing rather than destructive.”

Barb S. New York, NY


imago therapy reviews“After going through your program, I feel like a completely different person. Although we have spent years in therapy, we were still on the verge of divorce. The skills we have learned have helped us break the vicious cycle of conflict and we are actually able to enjoy each other’s company again.”

Harold, Brooklyn, New York


imago therapy reviews“Rabbi Slatkin, you have given us such a gift by working with us. After being ready to give up, I have new hope for our relationship. I really feel like I have a willing partner and that our marriage is worth fighting for.”

Maria, Latin America


imago therapy reviews“My husband and I were on the verge of separating and probably divorcing. Just prior to my taking the necessary steps to make that happen, my husband asked me if I would be willing to consult with Rabbi Slatkin first. We had previously considered asking Rabbi Slatkin for help, but did not follow through, and, instead sought help elsewhere. Although, the other help we sought was useful, we found that we were at an impasse and could make no further progress.

I agreed and asked Rabbi Slatkin to schedule us for his intensive program as I thought nothing less than something INTENSIVE could possibly help us at that point. Rabbi Slatkin recognized my urgency and was very responsive, scheduling us within a few days.

I must admit that although I was willing, I was definitely not optimistic, nor was I entirely open to us working things out with each other. I was only open to the slight possibility that our marriage could continue.

However, I was convinced that Rabbi Slatkin would be providing me a safe place where I could at the very least, say what I wanted to say without fear of my husband’s reaction. I no longer felt I had anything to lose. Knowing a very little bit about Imago therapy, I thought I might also find out some valuable things about myself whether or not my husband and I were able to work things out.

To my surprise, all three happened. I said what I wanted to say, I found out some extremely important things about myself, AND my husband and I both feel we have a good chance at marital success now that we know more information about each other and have tools to utilize to assist us in maintaining the open lines of communication in our marriage.

This was an extremely expensive solution that we could not afford to NOT do. We are both extremely grateful to have been able to take Rabbi Slatkin’s intensive program.”

Diane, Baltimore, MD


imago therapy reviewsI am feeling very hurt from painful history in our 9 years of marriage. my husbands anger and quick temper made me very doubtful that he’d be able to handle the mirroring process. but it really worked to keep him from lashing back when I shared my hurt. I was for the 1st time able to feel like he was starting to hear me.


imago therapy reviews“We have tried many things for many years and I literally had to drag my wife along. After the 1st day of the intensive, she looked forward to waking up in the morning again for the first time in a long time.”

Josh, Baltimore, Maryland


imago therapy reviews“I would like to say how much I appreciate participating in 2 days intense session with Rabbi Shlomo Slatkin, Imago certified counselor. It helped me a lot to understand what issue I have what was missing in our relationship what I’ve done wrong and what I need to do. Book materials, techniques, exercises and examples were so helpful. Positive atmosphere during sessions, guidance and help from rabbi, dialogues and open minded conversations brought a lot of positives and hopes. . I believe we found right way to go in our marriage and relationship. Thank you so much “

Victor, Annapolis, Maryland


imago therapy reviewsThis two days session of work helped me to understand and realize there is a way, a way to a new you. Where I can be happy again. Thank you Rabbi.

Sara, Rockville, Maryland


imago therapy reviewsDear Rabbi Slatkin,
When we participated in your Two Day Marriage Intensive about six weeks ago, we were at a crossroads in our relationship. We were recovering from infidelity, separated, and hoping to get some clarity as to whether there was a future for us and our young family. We walked away with hope that our communication could be different and that we could be more transparent with each other.
We knew it would take time to decide our future but we were definitely open to the possibility that the relationship could last.
Six weeks later, we are still experiencing positive results.
We are spending more time with each other, having fun again, and our able to communicate with out the constant reactivity and defensiveness that was plaguing our relationship. While it will take time to rebuild the trust that was broken, we are hopeful that as we continue to implement and integrate the work we did with you that we will build a more solid future for our family. We can’t thank you enough for your help.
C and K, Baltimore, MD

imago therapy reviewsDear Rabbi Slatkin,

I receive your weekly blogposts and read your recent post entitled “ How do you know when your marriage is over?”. You debunked common reasons that couples see as warranting divorce and boldly claim that even the worst marriage can be saved. I wanted to write you so that you can share with your readers our story because if any marriage was doomed to fail, it was surely ours.

We came to see you almost a year ago for therapy. As you may remember we only came for one session and we were in bad shape. My husband did not want to continue and being that we he was unemployed and I was making a meager salary, we couldn’t afford weekly sessions. We did get your digital program though we didn’t touch it for months. The marriage got worse to the point where he through burning grease at my face. I thought it was over. Things only got worse from there. My husband was put in jail on false charges, I lost my job, and then I found myself sick for months. I discovered there was a sewage leak in my bedroom that was contributing to my condition. This was the turning point. When we first received the digital download, I downloaded your audio mp3s to my husband’s phone, hoping he would listen to them.

I started to notice that our communication had changed. He had implemented some of the strategies you suggest on his own. We began connecting again. We stopped the constant bickering. For the first time in a long time, I had hope that our marriage could succeed.

We are now expecting our first child any day now and couldn’t be happier. Thank you so much. Your program saved our marriage and we are eternally grateful. Please continue to let other couples know that if your program could help us, it could help anyone, as you would be hard pressed to find a marriage as bad as ours was.

Z, Baltimore, MD


imago therapy reviewsWhen we listened to your audios, we thought you were talking directly to us. Everything you said was so relevant to our situation.

imago therapy reviews“Rabbi Shlomo Slatkin has done truly outstanding work in helping couples strengthen their marriages and grow together as human beings and Jews. His emphasis on honest open communication,on self-understanding ,and on using the challenges of life as a springboard for personal transformation has changed many lives for the better.I enthusiastically endorse both him and his techniques.”

Rabbi Yitzchak A. Breitowitz, Woodside Synagogue, Silver Spring, Maryland.


imago therapy reviews“Rabbi Shlomo Slatkin’s approach to relationship therapy is truly revolutionary. His efforts to mend damaged relationships are widely recognized and are to be commended. The members of the Rabbinical Council of Victoria benefited greatly from their recent meeting with Rabbi Slatkin, who provided valuable tips on matters such as conflict resolution and relationship counselling. His groundbreaking approach to shalom bayis is helping couples the world over and I wish him ongoing success.

Rabbi Yaakov Glasman, President, Rabbinical Council of Victoria


imago therapy reviewsDear Rabbi Slatkin,

I am writing to thank you for your very interesting presentations that I attended in Melbourne in Elul 5770. I heard you speak three times, and I found the Imago Relationship Therapy to be both consistant with Torah Hashkafa and extremely effective in helping couples work towards Shalom Bayis. The emphasis on Shmias B’Ozen: to hear what the other person is saying, to feel what they are feeling, and to understand what they are thinking invariably leads to changing ones actions. When I have spoken about Imago, people have been very impressed. I gave several very successful shiurim on Teshuvah using the Imago concept of trying to understand how the Borei Ha-Olam must “feel” (keva’yachol) when we don’t appreciate all that He does for us. The concept of subconsciously marrying a person who is a combination of your parents’ middos in order to facilitate a tikun on your own middos and self-esteem developed during your formative years to be fascinating and emesdik!

Hashem yisbarach should�bensch you with further success in your important work, and I hope that many pulpit rabbis invite you to speak to their kehillahs so that they and their mispallelim will be inspired and will benefit from the Imago Relationships Therapy.

Sincerely,

Rabbi Yirmi Garfunkel


imago therapy reviews“We participated in both the work shop a private session and we found that the methods taught really helped us communicate better in our relationship. Thank you Rabbi Slatkin and Imago therapy.”

– Ephraim and Rochel. Melbourne, Australia


imago therapy reviews“Rabbi Slatkin’s knowledge of Torah coupled with the Imago therapy dialogue method have made his presentation very palatable to Jewish audiences around the world as he shows how the dialogue process fits completely into Jewish Ideology.

He has now given me the tools to learn how to listen and reflect back in a way that makes the other person feel heard and respected without any judgments. This automatically lifts your relationship and feeling of connectedness to a much higher level.

Full kudos is due to Rabbi Slatkin for this life saving work in people’s relationships and marriages. The Imago therapy dialogue is must learn skill for anyone that wants to have harmonious relationships of any kind.”

– Aron, Melbourne, Australia


imago therapy reviewsRabbi Slatkin introduced us to an innovative method for effective communication. The real life scenarios that he role-played had us laughing out loud! His presentation was interactive, practical, and laced with good humor. Highly recommended!

We asked Rabbi Shlomo Slatkin to come out to Charlotte, NC and do a couples Imago therapy workshop for our community. We had ten couples attend this workshop and it was a great success. We all knew each other, which was very nice because we were all able to enjoy each other and connect on a deeper level. Rabbi Slatkin’s presentation on Imago therapy was very informative and inspiring. Each couple was able to practice several different techniques that the Rabbi introduced. I particularly enjoyed the part when one couple was asked to volunteer to do a sample therapy session. It was so intriguing! My husband and I learned a lot about Imago and communication in general. We continued to use the Imago techniques after the workshop. G-d willing, we will bring Rabbi Shlomo Slatkin back to Charlotte for round 2!

imago therapy reviews“I can’t thank you enough for taking your knowledge and experience and sharing it with us – especially when it’s such an important topic! You should be gebencht!”


imago therapy reviews“What I liked best about this presentation was that there were demonstration, explanations, and opportunities to practice. Without the practice the presented information may have just remained theoretical and many couples may not even try to do it on their own when they leave and would never see the benefit of it.”


imago therapy reviews“The most meaningful part of this presentation was that this method could be used for prevention and resolution of issues. But more importantly, a great tool for bonding with your partner.”


imago therapy reviews“I really enjoyed the seminar and would be interested in learning more.”


imago therapy reviews“The demos which you and Rivka did – they made it easier for us to do since it was practical and we were “copying.” It was better than just hearing the methods explained and then we have to try to copy them. It was also great that you threw in personal experiences. It makes us feel that everyone needs to work on a marriage – even a marriage counselor. And it’s nice to see that it is not just in theory, but real issues which you have worked out.”


imago therapy reviews“The most meaningful part of this presentation was discovering a safe way to talk about issues in “our world”.


imago therapy reviews“Thank you! We both had a great time and learned great communication techniques.”


imago therapy reviews“Learned how to really listen to my spouse instead of reacting straight away”


imago therapy reviews“Very practical and learned how to learn how to listen to my partner and appreciate him”


imago therapy reviews“Learning to really listen without interrupting or making comments”


imago therapy reviews“This is a very practical workshop/method which teaches both members of a couple how to listen and communicate and show love, care, and appreciation. I would recommend it to all couples. It is like preventative medicine for a marriage because it gave us a way to talk without reacting and speak about each other’s good points.”


imago therapy reviews32 years in it’s like our honeymoon again!

The Marriage Restoration Project has helped me to renew and restore and revive our marriage. After 32 years, and 5 kids, we were not used to being alone. The easy 5 step program helped us open communication and reconnect with each other. Now we are using the 5 steps to help the next generation heal and help their marriages.
Thank you!

Thanks again.

imago therapy reviewsTurns out major relationship improvement is possible! This user-friendly program shows you how.

The videos are professional and inspiring. I was impressed with the way they demonstrated how to turn frustration, blame, and criticism into opportunities for closer connection, better mutual understanding, compassion, and growth as a couple. When I practiced offering appreciation statements, I realized just how valuable and healing this is when done right, and how easy it is to compliment one’s spouse yet miss the mark!

imago therapy reviewsOutstanding and Very Informative!

The Marriage Restoration Project is an amazing idea and is brought to us by two amazing people. It seems as if Rabbi Slatkin has really nailed the understanding of how a marriage could and should work and how essential it is to work hard in marriage to make it great. The Marriage Restoration Project is thorough, concise, and clear. I would recommend that anyone who is looking to get married should HIGHLY consider Rabbi Slatkin’s course!
Yoni D.

imago therapy reviewsKnowledgeable and Eye-Opening

I enjoyed the information that was presented to me. It was full of a vast amount of knowledge, eye-opening, and simple for anyone to understand. I would recommend this resource to anyone needing assistance in improving, enhancing, or restoring his or her marriage. Thanks.

imago therapy reviewsHello, first want to say how happy I am that I found your site, system and book. I purchased a digital copy of The Marriage Restoration Project on amazon the moment I finished reading the first two chapters. I stayed up all night that first night reading from it, I reread the first two chapters. The reason I stayed up that while night wasn’t just because of the book, I got the book for the same reason I was up that night. I’d been unable to sleep for almost two months until I would pass out after a few nights, only getting 4 hours every other night. That reason was me, well mostly me, and my difficulty understanding my feelings and expressing them openly in spoken words, it had become a crippling fear of mine in regards to my wife. My wife is the greatest wife I could have hoped for, sent from God to save me, and when we got together 12 years ago almost to the day. She is going for her bachelor’s then doctorate right now, and as you can guess, that takes so much time, almost all of her time. We have a 3 and 7 year old boys. Our schedules are opposite for the kids sake and two wonderful grandmothers who help when we have over laps, my wife really only gets two days with the kids and up to 8 or 10 hours a week with me.
The time we get is only intimate in any way maybe two hours, broken up, and physical intimacy has become a scheduled once a week, lasting an hour. My pain comes from a lack of time, affection and intimacy. I know and trust completely that she isn’t cheating, but the mind can be terrible when you have so many scars from before her. The truly wonderful thing, because of your book, I had hit bottom and the end of my rope, luckily I was at the bottom so I didn’t have far to fall. I couldn’t keep going through this, especially silent. So I spent the last few days reading and thinking and focusing. Then today the timing was perfect and so were my thoughts. She has known mostly about how I felt from seeing me weeping but not the why, just the hurting. I can’t cause her or the kids or myself any more pain. This morning
after breakfast before she left, I told her in the clearest, calmest way ever about my feelings and what I needed to do and what she could do to help, this is still my problem with me only I can fix. The relief I felt from telling her why I had such pain was so wonderful I want to cry about my joy and excitement for our future, rather than just pleading prayers to God, which kept me here in every way of course.
But G-d led me to you, when I truly needed it more than I ever imagined I would. I apologize if I’ve rambled, repeated, or jumped the ideas around. I’m certain you understand what such excitement and relief can do. I told her about your program, and even without her if it is, I would like to start it. Thank you Rabbi Shlomo Slatkin, I have purchased and read over and over other books for years trying to fix me, but nothing work more than thoughts to think. Just two chapters was enough to give me the courage to face my greatest fear like a true warrior of God, which was how my grandmother always taught me. With greatest thanks and wishes and joyful hopes to hear from you again.

imago therapy reviewsThank you very much Rabbi!
I started to read your amazing book yesterday night, first the complete book, and
then I’m planning a second reading together with my beloved husband…to put in
practice each and every one of your advice and exercises.
Thank you very much, it’s totally amazing each and every word…

morning. I look forward to the journey.


imago therapy reviewsShlomo and Rivka have a wonderful, safe approach to getting me to think more deeply about myself and my relationship.


imago therapy reviewsReally eye opening to see how past childhood hurts DO sill affect relationships even 40-50 years after. Source of conflict isn’t “the conflict” itself.


imago therapy reviewsShlomo and Rivka are a great and engaging pair!


imago therapy reviewsI learned how to listen and hear my husband again without judgment or resentment. The step by step approach is a valuable tool.

imago therapy reviewsThe simple reality is everyone/every couple could benefit from professional support of this type. If you have any thoughts about wanting or needing to attend a marriage retreat, this is the one to attend! It was human, relatable, real and very helpful. Worth the time and money!
