We help couples find new hope for their relationship & create a happier, deeper connection in just 2 days.
You might be wondering how a couple like you—once deeply in love—could now find yourselves struggling to connect, arguing over the smallest things, or feeling distant and hopeless.
Rabbi Shlomo and his wife Rivka were once that couple. Nearly two decades ago, they hit a turning point in their own marriage and committed to doing the real work to rebuild what they had lost. That journey didn’t just repair their relationship—it inspired them to help others do the same.
Through years of experience, Rabbi Shlomo developed a structured, heart-centered approach to marriage counseling that helps couples communicate safely, break destructive cycles, and rediscover the connection they thought was gone. While his early training included Imago therapy, his unique process has evolved to combine empathy, clarity, and a step-by-step path toward healing.
Couples often leave their first session with Rabbi Slatkin feeling more hopeful, more connected—and for the first time in a long time, truly understood.

Getting the Love You Want—And Keeping It
“Any couple interested in restoring their marriage and sustaining it will be blessed if they follow the logical and clear steps and processes described by Rabbi Slatkin, MS, LCPC in the Marriage Restoration Project.”
– Dr. Harville Hendrix, Founder of Imago Relationship Therapy
Rabbi Shlomo Slatkin is a gifted teacher and speaker who has lectured internationally on marriage, communication, and emotional connection. He edited and co-authored the Jewish version of Couplehood as a Spiritual Path, a synagogue-based curriculum built around the relationship principles of Getting the Love You Want by Dr. Harville Hendrix.
While Imago therapy helped save Shlomo and Rivka’s marriage 20 years ago, Shlomo’s work has since evolved into a distinct and highly effective approach—rooted in empathy, structured dialogue, and emotional safety.
He is the author of The 5 Step Action Plan to a Happy & Healthy Marriage and has written extensively about relationships, marriage counseling, and conflict resolution. A graduate of Loyola College in Maryland with a Master’s in Counseling Psychology, Rabbi Slatkin also studied at the Imago Relationship Institute and holds rabbinic ordination alongside degrees from George Washington University and Oxford.
Today, he brings all of this experience together to help couples reconnect through private marriage intensives and online programs that offer hope, transformation, and real tools to create lasting change.
This is the Place to Start Healing Your Marriage
Here’s what we do:
We offer practical, proven solutions for couples in crisis—whether you’re feeling distant, stuck in conflict, or on the brink of divorce. From our private 2-day Marriage Counseling Intensives to on-demand online courses and occasional in-person retreats, every program is carefully designed to create lasting breakthroughs. These aren’t quick fixes—they’re transformative experiences based on decades of real-world results.
Here’s what we believe:
We know what it feels like to be disconnected and in pain. That’s why our mission is simple: to transform the world one couple at a time. When your relationship thrives, your entire life transforms.
Here’s how we got started:
The Marriage Restoration Project was born from our personal journey—and from a deep desire to help couples avoid the heartbreak of divorce and the devastating impact it can have on families. What started with our own transformation became a calling to help others heal.
Here’s what couples are saying:
We’ve had the privilege of working with thousands of couples through intensives, retreats, and courses. Read just a few of their success stories here.
Today, Rabbi Shlomo and Rivka lead a variety of programs with an expert team of therapists—offering private intensives, online courses, and customized retreats for couples seeking real, lasting change.
You’re Here Because You Want to Reconnect—Deeply
Do you find yourself thinking:
“Our marriage could be so much more than this.”
You’re not alone.
Maybe you long for your partner to truly hear you—to understand your hopes, your dreams, your needs. Who would’ve thought that being truly seen and listened to could matter more than any gift or grand gesture?
But it does.
So how do you move from where you are now—a marriage that feels flat, distant, or disconnected—to one that feels alive, emotionally safe, and deeply fulfilling?
You’re committed to your relationship. You know the love is still there. And you’re ready to do what it takes to restore it.
Is Your Marriage Even Fixable at This Point?
Yes—we believe it is.
We believe you picked your partner for a reason, and that conflict is growth trying to happen. You didn’t marry the wrong person—you married the right person, and you just need the right tools to reconnect.
For over a decade, we’ve helped hundreds of couples—just like you—rediscover their love, rebuild trust, and restore connection. You’re not alone, and you’re not too far gone.
Our programs are for people who are ready to do whatever it takes to save their most important relationship—their marriage.
And if you’re an adult child of divorce, like Rivka is, this work may feel even more meaningful. You know firsthand how painful separation can be. That’s exactly why this project was created—for people like you who want to break the cycle, build something lasting, and create the kind of love you may have never seen modeled growing up.
Your marriage isn’t beyond repair. With the right support, it can become stronger than ever.
