When was the last time you thought about your marriage and just smiled? 

When you're with your spouse, do you feel a deep sense of joy and affection?

If you're not satisfied with your answer to either of those questions, I have some good news for you:​

The information in the book to your left — When The Thrill Has Gone — has helped thousands of couples improve and even save their marriage.

It can do the same for you.

First things first. Why THIS book?​

The next statement will sound bold and possibly arrogant, but here it is:

​Every other book I've read on this subject—and every other web site I've visited—fails to provide THE KEY REASON a marriage suffers. I have not seen it mentioned anywhere.

Here's a piece of logic for you: With a very high divorce rate, one could conclude the usual methods of repairing a marriage are not getting the job done.

If you try to fix a radio by doing this, this and that, and the radio still doesn't work, it means you haven't found the reason the radio is broken. Locate and fix that and the radio works again!

When a person's marriage isn't going well, we hear the following:

• "We've lost the passion."
• "We fight too much."
• "We're just in a rut."
• "We don't spend enough time together."
• "I just don't feel appreciated."
• "Our love-making isn't what it used to be."
• "Infidelity, money problems, no emotional connection..."

All of the above are factors in a declining marriage—and some of these could be very painful for you—but they are not THE KEY REASON for a declining marriage.

When The Thrill Is Gone explains in great detail what this key reason is and how to fix it. You will not read this information anywhere else!

You could do many different things to repair your marriage, but if you do not address this key reason, you'll end up making compromises and disappointed that the love and affection was not fully restored. 

I'm Stan Dubin, the author of When The Thrill Is Gone. On the left is a picture of my wife, Mary Ann, and our daughter, Chelsea. My wife and I have had a few rough patches, but using the information in this book completely turned things around for us. Chelsea is married with two kids and has a very strong marriage of her own.

I run a national counseling practice. I send highly skilled counselors all over the United States and Canada to work with individuals and couples. If you want to discuss getting professional help, call me at 727-447-4500.

Of course we're not able to come out and work with every couple, which is a major reason I wrote this book.

Is the Communication Not What It Used to Be?

Or should I ask: Is the desire to communicate not what it used to be?

A marriage suffers to the degree that one or both partners is communicating less and with less affinity. If there are children—regardless of whether they show it or not—they will suffer too.

However, there's nothing gained when communication is "forced" or not freely given. You will be very pleasantly surprised how this can be improved!

Are You Having Too Many Upsets?

The book has two simple procedures to address this. 

One will take the steam right out of an upset you're in the middle of.

And the other one will reduce the number of upsets from that point forward!

Do You Just Feel the Life and Love Has Left the Marriage?

If you feel you're getting up every day and just going through the motions, something needs to change.

But what? And how?

The more you apply what's inside When The Thrill Is Gone, the more you will see the life and love returning. No gimmicks, just exact tools that work.

Is There an Outside Influence?

An outside influence—despite their apparent good intentions—can have a negative impact on a marriage.

There are also times when this influence can severely damage a marriage.

The book contains a very exact procedure to address this.

Are There Fights Over Key Areas of the Marriage?

Money is a hot spot for many marriages. Is enough being made? Are there disagreements on how it's being spent?

Is one spouse spending less and less time at home?

Three chapters in When The Thrill Is Gone will help you handle these and other tough subjects. 

Are There Difficulties With the Kids?

Our children are so important to us. But when they seem out of control or difficult to communicate with, this can be very tough. 

Some parents let their kids do virtually whatever they want. Some parents try to control as much of their kids' lives as they can. Neither works very well.

Exact tools in the book will help you and your kids get along much better! Prepare to experience considerable relief here.

Has It Gotten to the Point Where Divorce Is Being Considered?

Here again, we come back to the key reason a marriage suffers. It is also the key reason a marriage ends.

The good news? When it is addressed fully and properly, many marriages are completely restored.

I realize that's a bold statement, but I've seen it happen year in and year out.

Let's hear from a few:
