FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Relationship coach takes new approach to marriage, seeks to impact 100,000 couples over next 5 years.

(Simi Valley, CA) June 20, 2007— “Marriage isn’t broken,” says Dr. Stephen Frueh, “we’ve just been looking at it the wrong way.”  In his book, With These Rings, Frueh offers couples the opportunity to turn arguments into intimacy and regain the love that brought them together in the first place.       

With These Rings, released earlier this year by Advantage Media Group, teaches couples a creative approach to marriage and helps them rethink and re-imagine their relationships.  Having logged over 50,000 hours as a psychotherapist, Frueh has spent the last 15 years as a consultant and coach, equipping people with the tools they to need be successful in their relationships.  His book, the first in a five part series, provides a model he has developed through those years of experience.

With the belief that marginal marriages contribute to the high divorce rate and create problems among children and young adults, Frueh is seeking to save families through support and creativity.  Using the book series, his extensive speaking engagements, and The Marriage Conversation—an online educational resource he maintains for couples, Dr. Frueh has set a goal of impacting 100,000 marriages by 2012.  He works with individual couples regularly and has developed a model for reaching low-income families, one he hopes to implement in 20 US cities in the coming years.

Dr. Frueh earned his Masters of Divinity and a doctorate degree in Clinical Psychology.  He and his wife Lynn, who also holds a doctorate in Psychology and is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, live with their family in Simi Valley, CA.  Together they bring passion and compassion to the challenges of relationship, the creation of ‘sustainable enthusiasm’ in marriage and the needs of families.
