Put the phrase “Marriage Advice” into any of the major search engines and you may just be amazed at the results you get back. The list of sites offering to help people with marriage problems runs into the hundreds. There is seemingly a very real need for help finding marriage advice in today’s world.
The Truth regarding On-line Marriage Advice Web Sites
The problem is though, that many of these sites are there not to help you, but to help themselves. They do this by selling you some expensive eBook or DVD that usually turns out to be full of badly written re-cycled information that has been borrowed from other web sites where the information is available for free.
But there are also a lot of sites that will provide you with genuine marriage advice, and some of this help is available to you at no charge. Though here again, you do need to be very careful as some of these free information and advice sites may just be after your email address and if you give it to them you will then be bombarded by useless offers and other junk mail.
So how do you find out whether an online marriage advice site is genuine, or a con just there to relieve you of your money? Hopefully this article will give you some tips to follow when looking for legitimate web sites to find marriage advice where you either pay a small fee for the information you want, or in many cases get it for free.
If a web site is sponsored by a religious organization there is a very good chance that the advice they offer will be useful to you. The majority of sites operated by religious groups will provide information free of charge but they may ask for a donation towards the upkeep of the site. This is purely voluntary though and you will still get access to the information even if you don’t make a donation.
Other types of sites to look for are those that are affiliated with a social service agency. Here again you should be able to find information that is either free or won’t cost you very much. Many of these sites have newsletters you can subscribe to as well.
Finally, there are the genuine “for profit” sites that will charge you for marriage advice in the form of eBooks, DVD’s and other programs. But before you get out your credit card it’s a good idea to actually do a web search on the person offering the advice, especially if they have a bunch of initials after their names. Qualifications can be bought and are not necessarily a sign that a person is really qualified.
If you are happy that a paid site is genuine just make sure they have a money back guarantee on their products before you purchase anything.
Remember everybody is different and there is no single answer to marital issues, although the issues usually can be boiled down to the following – lack of trust, lack of communication and fear of loss.
