Dear Dr. Ellen,

This letter is for all those individuals who feel hopeless in their situation because they feel their situation is so different from that of others. Hands down, your program is worth every penny! I have purchased a total of $3086.00 (have receipts) worth of books, programs, etc. from the Internet and otherwise! By far, way above and beyond, your program is what saved my marriage. Here is my story.

My husband and I have been together for 8 years, married for 2. We have experienced trouble from the start, as both of us come from pretty shady backgrounds when it comes to family, love, and relationships. We were both yellers, arguers, and generally very negative in all aspects of life. During the course of our "brief" relationship, we had cheated on each other, lied to each other, hurt each other verbally and physically, and so much more! Our lives was so miserable, our own children would ask why we are together! We had stopped making love or even just having sex. There was no communication (except to argue over the stupidest stuff), and we had grown so far apart, everyone knew we were heading for the end (including ourselves)! Our marriage came to an end (or so I thought) on 4/18/05 when my husband called me to lunch and told me that he could not take our misery anymore, that he no longer loved me and would be moving out, to get a DIVORCE! My world had ended. I cried for 2 weeks, feeling sorry for myself, angry at him for leaving and completely hopeless in my situation!

I had received so much advice in my weeks of self-pity - Forget about him; You'll find someone else; He's not worth it; Count your losses now and move on...Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah! On 4/30/05 I went on the Internet and did a Google search under, "Save My Marriage." Your site was the top of the listing. I clicked on your link and went through your site, word for word... and WAS VERY SKEPTICAL, so I bookmarked it and went on to the next site, and the next and the next. During that day, I purchased 13 books, 4 audio cassette programs, and even purchased online so-called "marriage" counseling ($60/hr) where they advised for me to move on because, "once they leave, it's beyond hope"!

I did not purchase your set at first, because your claims just seemed too good to be true! Your testimonials seemed fake and could not be real, as they sounded just like my situation! On 5/1/05 I discovered my husband was pursuing his ex girlfriend, from his past. I read his emails where they exchanged heated sexual content. He told her that he loved her and always felt like he did. What I read made me feel worse than I had ever felt in my entire life! That night, in my desperation to save my marriage, I went back online and continued my search, always heading back to your site. You see, I was now a "single" mother of three and the amount for your tapes just seemed too much for me to spend... Something told me to give it a shot. On 5/1/05, I purchased your CD's of "Light His Fire." And began the waiting game for them to arrive. I received my other packages before and during that time, read them and became completely discouraged. They all said the same thing. They all directed me to either leaving or waiting, waiting, waiting. I knew that I could not wait. I needed to take action or I would lose the love of my life!

FINALLY, your CD's and workbook arrived! I WAS STILL VERY SKEPTICAL! After spending 7 days reading the same junk (excuse my language) from the other packages, I was CERTAIN that your program was the same! On my way to work on 5/8/05 I listened to the first CD - and instantly was amazed at how hopeful and motivated your voice made me feel. I felt encouraged and hopeful in my situation that I originally thought was never going to work out! When I listened to your Home Work Assignment #1- I laughed out loud! I kid you not! I really laughed and thought to myself, "is this woman crazy, Geesh! I can't even get him on the phone, let alone tell him what you told me to say. This man, who was giving himself to another woman and who left me and our children." But in your CD you said, "Do it anyway!" So I did.

He called to talk to the children, like he did every night. Instead of handing the phone directly to them, as I always do when I see his number on the caller I.D., I took the phone and took a deep breath and said what you told me to say. There was a long silence on the phone and he blurted out, "Are you kidding me?" Following your advice, I stated, "No, I'm dead serious" and repeated what I had said. He just said, "Let me talk to the kids, I don't have time for this crap!" He talked to the kids, hung up and that was that. I was very discouraged, but somehow it motivated me to listen to the second CD. I ended up listening to the next three including the Communication" CD. The next morning (5/9/05), he called me and asked me if I wanted to have lunch. We had a beautiful lunch. He talked about his dreams, his job, his friends - all the things we have NEVER TALKED ABOUT. I never knew my husband had so many aspirations and so many good thoughts and qualities - he was truly amazing. After the lunch, I realized that I did not know him because I never truly listened to him. I had spent so much time focusing on his negatives, waiting for him to finish his words so that I could give him my two cents, that I missed all he was saying to me.

Over the next three weeks, I did all your homework assignments. I listened to the CDs over and over, so I really understood all your principles (I still listen when I commute to work)... and applied them all. Today, 5/31/05, we are closer than we've ever been. Last night, he told me, "Listen, I love you with all my heart and we are going to be okay, forever!" We made love (LOVE!) for the first time in 8 years...It was amazing! He got up this morning and made love again, kissed me goodbye and said, "I'll see you later my sleeping beauty... have a blessed day...I love you!" Oh my gosh!!! These are words I did not even know he had in his vocabulary, let alone being capable of saying them! Since starting your program there are so many things slowly starting to change:

- He's more active with the kids.

- He helps me around the house.

- He asks me if he can help me.

He is becoming everything that I thought HE COULD NEVER BE. My whole house has changed. The kids are happier, calmer and better behaved. I am happier, he is happier. I can NEVER begin to express what a wonderful program you have. What a true contribution to society you are giving, with your knowledge and remarkable ability to convey that knowledge! You've taught me that love has no strings and that the man I fell in love with was inside, waiting for a safe time to come out... that love is a feeling but that true love is an effort that must be nurtured everyday!

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!

If your program can turn two cold-hearted, mean-spirited, lonely, damaged souls into lovers and friends, then it can do so much for everyone! BY THE WAY: I'm 32, overweight, I did not view myself as attractive, I have not really accomplished much in my life (or so I thought), and really had nothing to offer him but my love. (What most women think of as the exact opposite of a man's dream!) She's 28, fit, fun, has a great career in pharmaceutical researching, going to Medical School, she's extremely attractive and travels the world. (What most women think of as a man's dream!) But none of that mattered - looks, accomplishments, money, none of it!

If you ever doubt the impact you have on people and their lives, let me put it in perspective for you. You have affected me and my husband. We affect our children. They will affect their children, and so on... We affect our families, our friends, etc. They affect theirs. It goes on and on and on. God Bless You For All That You Do!

Signed Happily,

Dear Dr. Ellen,

I wanted to wait before I wrote to you because I wanted to make sure that what happened to my marriage was no temporary fix. It's been a year since I ordered your programs and enough time has passed for me to feel confident that my impending divorce is a thing of the past. This letter is for you but it is my hope that it will also inspire every man out there who doesn't know where to turn to for help. You of course already know how effective your teachings are but someone coming to you for the first time doesn't know that they couldn't be in more capable hands.

When I first did a search to save my marriage, I knew that I needed a miracle to change my wife's mind. At first it was a harmless friendship with a coworker. She would share their conversations with me and I felt no threat. But as months went by, she talked less and less about him and became more distant to me. Then one day as a result of pushing her for an answer as to her growing distance, she finally admitted that, although she loved me and would we would always be connected because of the kids, she was no longer "in love" with me and could never be again. I only heard bits and pieces after the part where she said that "she didn't love me anymore and had fallen in love with her coworker. She never intended to hurt me. It just happened. It's no one's fault. We can stay friends for the sake of the kids" and other canned responses that she must have felt would soften the blow.

I was in denial at first but then I realized the affect this would have on our two children who were 12 and 9 at the time. I couldn't just sit there and let this happen. I immediately spent every spare moment searching for anything that would reverse the course of our lives. I am guilty of getting every download that has ever been offered on the Internet. Nothing helped and our marriage seemed doomed.

Then I found you. After spending hours on your site and reading and listening to everything you had available I realized that maybe, just maybe, there would be a way to save our marriage. I wrote to you and you actually wrote back. The one thing I remember you saying was that without my wife listening to what you had to say, there would be no changes in her desire to get a divorce. But how could I get her to listen when she was in love with another man and had made her mind up to leave. I bought the programs on blind faith and gave my wife the letter you suggested. Her reaction to be honest was, "Take this program and shove it where the sun don't shine." Does that give you a clue to what I had to work with? I put her program away and began listening to mine. As I listened I understood why my wife was no longer in love with me. I knew I couldn't change the past, but I sure could control the future. I followed your instructions to the T. I got absolutely no response and then 3 months later, my wife said that she was having 2nd thoughts about getting the divorce. The kids hated the new man in her life and he was having problems with his own teenage children (who couldn't stand my kids). I guess the life with me wasn't looking so bad after all. She agreed to listen to your program and the rest, as they say, is history!

You are so right when you say that pain is what causes us to grow. I would not be the husband and father I am today if it weren't for your wisdom and remarkable ability to deliver the information we need in such an easy and entertaining way. There were times I sat in the parking lot and came late to the office because I didn't want to stop listening.

I can never thank you enough for showing me what I needed to do to get my wife back and keep our family in tact. I hope you never stop doing what you do because I know there are many clueless men like me who need you.

Your fan forever,

Dear Dr. Ellen,

I am certain this is just one of many letters you receive every day, however I felt compelled to write to you. In fact this letter is long over due.

A few years ago I ordered your tape series from an infomercial at 2:30 in the morning. (Is that cliche or what?) Yet I assure you this story is true. I knew my marriage was crumbling. My husband was shutting down and refused to talk to me about his pain. Though he had not yet told me he wanted a divorce, I knew it was coming and ordered these tapes because, frankly, I liked what you said. I had 15 years into this marriage and I wasn't about to give up yet. I felt I had nothing to lose and at the very least they would help me get my own life in order. I had them sent to my mother's home and had already started listening to them as I walked every day. when he finally confessed that he did want a divorce. (Not even a trial separation) His plan was to stay in the home for a few months until he could get everything in order. Though I made it very clear that this not at all what I wanted, we agreed to live amicably and not tell our 5 year old until it was absolutely necessary. The bottom line is, I listened and listened and listened again to your tapes everyday, as I walked. If I was frustrated, I listened, angry I'd pull out a tape, crying at my wits end, I listened again. Eventually everything you said made sense. I put myself pity aside and started to look at my own behavior, making small improvements every day. I kept a positive affirmation journal. I prayed. And I followed all your advice I could, with the exception of the romantic parts. (We weren't there yet) Most of all you gave me the confidence to believe in my own strength and power: that I would not be a victim. To make a long story short...it worked.

Mid way through this I told my husband what I was doing, though he still said he wanted the divorce I could slowly see him beginning to open up. He would ask me out to breakfast, wait for me for dinner. He would come home earlier everyday. One day he even told me how hard I was making this...I told him "that's my job!"

Most importantly I started to believe...believe that it was going to work. The compliments I started to give him, the attitude changes I made, the sweetness that he fell in love with, made him fall in love with me all over again. Within four months, in fact the night before Halloween, he told me he was staying forever. He said that he loved me and that he wasn't going anywhere. (I still cry when I think of that day). I can tell you that these tapes saved a marriage, my sanity and us from having to tell a five year old that the Daddy she adored was leaving. We are eternally grateful!!!!! I can't tell you there haven't been bumps along the way, but I can tell you that when they happen , I go back to the basics, you tapes and books and put my relationship back on track. One year after this episode we would find out our daughter was molested. There were police interviews, court appearances and excruciating stress during that time. We feel that God was talking to us when we put this marriage back on track, that somehow the tools we received from listening to you kept my husband Ed and I focused on our daughter, together as a strong unified couple, at such a crucial time. If this had occurred before we ever listened to your tapes we would surely not have been able to stand strong and united, as we were during that time. Our daughter, thankfully, is doing great. You were a Godsend.

We eventually took advantage of the sex and romantic advice and things are better than when we were dating. I have since passed these tapes around to all of my friends, (sorry) and I know they have saved at least 1 other marriage and helped two or three other relationships.

Thank you again,

Dear Dr. Ellen,

I was looking for your phone number and couldn't find it and decided to try the web. I am so excited you are here. I have a testimony that I wanted you to know about and didn't know where else to put it. I didn't see a section for testimonials, but I sure would be willing to be one for your product.

My name is Denise Kennedy and I have been married 8 years thanks to your tape series. We were married on Oct. 16, 1991 and by 1994 we were ready to get a divorce. We had been separated for a year when I was watching TV late one night. I was living in Seattle and my husband Ken was living in our home in California with another women, and he had asked me for a divorce and had asked the other woman to marry him.

I am a Christian and I felt the Lord telling me to do NOTHING toward a divorce, so I didn't. While I was flipping through the channels, I heard a woman say, "If you are planning to get a divorce, please listen to this program," so I did. As I watched the program I heard the Lord say to me, order these tapes and send them to Ken.

Well, I was sure that it could not be GOD. I mean, he was living with another woman, had asked her to marry him, and I was supposed to spend my money on tapes for him, not a chance. Well, as I kept listening to the program, I heard God louder and louder, ORDER THE TAPES AND SEND THEM TO KEN. Well, I wrestled with God for 2 hours. It's not fair, why should I, he'll just use them for THEIR relationship....

I did order them and sent the men's program to him. I didn't hear from him for 4 months. Then one day, I called to tell him I was moving to Texas. I had not heard anything about a divorce. We had dinner in Jan. of 1996 and reconciled in Feb. the next month. He told me that your tapes were the turning point for him realizing that maybe I was not all the problem and that he became open minded enough to look at himself realistically.

I have referred dozens of friends to your tapes and even lent mine out to a friend who called to say they were getting a divorce. I said, "not until you listen to these tapes." That was two months ago and they are still together. For over 3 years now, I have wanted to send you a THANK YOU and wanted to offer my testimony to anyone who may need some hope that things can change. Belief in God and being will to invest in your tapes are the reason we are still married.

I know personally that there are several marriages that are together because of you and your programs.

Thanks again. I would recommend them to EVERY couple I know.

Hi Dr. Ellen!

My husband and I recently had made plans to go away for a relaxing weekend and to celebrate our 13th wedding anniversary. Our marriage and our relationship had improved so much since we have been listening to your tapes. I have told everyone I know about them. Anyway, he had to go out of town on business and was only given two says notice. It was disappointing, but we now have a wonderful getaway to look forward to after he returns.

The kicker, is that the night before he left, he brought me flowers and thanked me for being such a wonderful wife, for being understanding and for giving him the space to take care of his obligations. He has never done that before. And, he also did all the laundry before he left, this is a household task that he has been doing for years, but he usually just lets it pile up. And he gassed up the car for me, a full tank. He also took our 4 big water jugs to the store and had them refilled. So he was thoughtful and made sure that I was taken care of before he left. I could hardly believe it.

He has been gone for 6 days now and I miss him terribly. I have made sure I let him know how much I appreciated the flowers, the laundry, the gas, and the water. I feel that those tapes helped us have the close and loving relationship we always wanted. He is a changed man, or he has just let me see what the gifts he possesses cuz now he feels okay about sharing them with me.

I feel truly blessed that we were able to turn it around like this. He used to spend as much time as possible away from home. It's funny, that now we are so in love, we have to be apart for a while, and on our anniversary. We have been talking every day but what we both miss the most is being able to wrap our arms around each other. That will be a special treat when he returns.

Thank you again for opening our eyes and giving us direction. I have found a lot of people resisting these tapes, and I think they have no idea what they are missing out on.

Thanks, Ellen.

Dear Dr. Ellen,

Thank you so much for helping my husband and I to reconcile our marriage. We were on the verge of divorcing. Your tapes "Light His Fire" helped me to realize that I had not been treating my husband the way I should have.

The same day that I listened to your tapes, I called him over to visit. He immediately began to talk about divorce proceedings and, after he was finished, I apologized to him. I apologized for not being supportive, not making him feel valued, not making him feel like my king, for returning almost every gift that he has ever given me, for criticizing, etc.

Everything that you had said not to do, I was doing. I used to put most of the blame on him, but now I know that I played a very significant part in the separation. My husband could not believe what he was hearing from me, he started crying. We talked some more, decided to reconcile, and then had the most passionate love making that was very much due.

He's home and we're listening to your tapes. We plan to take a weekend road trip and will listen to your tapes on the way. I don't know how to thank you. I can only say that our lives have been changed. God sent your message to me at just the right time.

Thank you,

Dear Dr. Ellen:

I bought "Light His Fire" 2 years ago and it completely saved my life.

I wasn't taught how to be truly loving in childhood. I don't think there are many children who are. I especially didn't know how to love unconditionally, because there were always conditions attached to my parents love. I found myself repeating these patterns. Not only did your program teach me how to show unconditional love but I also became much more conscious. I become more and more consciously aware everyday, of my thoughts, my feelings, and my actions.

Surprisingly, your down-to-earth and practical approach has propelled me on a most mystical and spiritual path! I believe you are one very evolved lady, whether you realize it or not. Since listening to your programs, I started to have an interest in all manner of spiritual material. From Chicken Soup For The Soul to The Celestine Prophesy and Deepak Chopra and Conversations With God. In all of these marvelous works (especially yours ) Love is the thread that connects them all. There is no power greater thaqn LOVE!

Words cannot express the gratitude that warms my heart, mists my eyes, and knots my throat. Thank you Ellen, for your great gift to humanity. What a wonderful life you've led so far - keep on. I love you for you and you are the one who taught me that.

Do you ever marvel at how many lives you've impacted in such a positive way? It is like a stone thrown into a pond. Even if you had only touched one life with your lessons, can you imagine how many people they would meet and affect as a result? And yet you have touched Millions! I can only hope to have that kind of impact with my music. And yet I know, because of the power of positive thoughts, that I will reach many people with my songs full of faith and hope and love. I have you to thank for this.

Love,

Dear Dr. Ellen:

I am writing to say thank you and your course for saving my marriage. I told you I would write you back if the course worked. True to form, it did. I left the brief note (that you personally suggested) and the course in her car, she then began to listen, as well as I, and before you know it she wanted to meet at the local Starbucks.

This is from a woman who claimed she couldn't stand me, hated me, wished we have never met and moved out for over a year. Now she has officially moved back home and do you believe she actually apologized and stated she was sorry for putting our family thought this.

I have implemented the strategies outlined in the course and will continue to play them occasionally to maintain focus. I could go on and on, but evidently you know the power of what you are disseminating. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

You are added to the list of very important woman in my life.

Dear Dr. Ellen:

I address you as a personal friend, as I feel you are one. You, along with a little help from my husband and myself, saved our marriage!! :)

About 2 years ago, I was packing my bags, ready to leave my marriage and my husband behind - taking our 4 children with me. I was, literally, packing a box filled with sweaters, when I decided to take a break. I sat down on the couch and started flipping through the channels, when your infomercial came on. In that very second, you were saying something along the lines of - "are you headed to see a lawyer" and I knew that I must sit and listen.

My husband and I have run the gamut of marital discord and we were at the end of the end. We had, half-heartedly, attempted counseling and therapy, but nothing would seem to help us find our way in such an already difficult relationship. I immediately dialed the 800 number and couldn't have cared less about the cost at that moment - I just knew that this would be my final attempt at saving our marriage. My husband came home that afternoon and I just layed it out there and explained that I had ordered these tapes and that we would both have to be willing to give this 100% in hopes of finding that marital bliss that had for so long escaped us. Thankfully, he was willing to do whatever it took at that moment to help us find our way home.

The tapes arrived a few days later and within the first few days of listening to tape #1, you would not have been able to recognize us as the same couple from just days before. The transformation was almost immediate and so incredibly gratifying. Don't get me wrong - there's no magical potion, just some amazing guidance on your part and hard work on ours - but we are happier in these past 2 years than we have been in the past 15 years of marriage.

We do find, about once a year, that we need to pull them out and run through them again. It's very easy to get yourself back into a rut, but just a listen here or there of the tapes and we're right back on track. I have, with great zealous, recommended your program to everyone I happen to talk with about relationships etc. Thank-you so much for the opportunity to let you know just how much your program has meant to my life - not just with my husband, but in every aspect.

I could go on and on, but hopefully you get an idea of what this program has done for us. I am a great fan of yours and am eternally thankful to you and your ability to guide with such an expert hand.

Sincerely,

Dear Dr. Ellen,

Just wanted to let you know how your cassette tapes changed my life around. In 1996, I became a widow at the age of 42. After listening to all three sets of your tapes, I placed an ad for singles on the Internet and I was inundated with men that wanted to date and marry me. The more I told them that I did not want to be in a serious relationship, the more they wanted to marry me.

I was astonished at the number of eligible men between the ages of 30 and 50. Your series, Light His Fire, guided me to know what to do and say in single life after having been happily married for almost 13 years and with an eleven year old son. Never did I dream I would be a single Mom because my husband and I were extremely happy.

An acquaintance of mine borrowed my tapes last year and left town with them. I just reordered the Light His Fire cassettes. When I am driving I just like listening to them.

Thank you for taking the chance, giving the seminars and helping millions of people. The world truly needs more people like you!

Warmly,

Renee Bowman
