Feel the value of what you've built.

Value-Based Marriage is a coaching program and upcoming book by Scott Molluso, built on one idea: when the value you feel inside your marriage outweighs what you think you're missing, you live in contentment.

The scale inside you

Everyone carries a quiet scale. On one side, what your marriage gives you. On the other, what you think you're missing.

When you stop feeling the value of what you have, the other side starts to look heavier. Fantasy grows, distance grows, and good marriages slowly come apart.

Willpower doesn't fix that. Feeling the value again does.

The value you feelWhat you think you're missing

Faith-based. Value-based.

People know a faith-based marriage. A value-based marriage rests on two kinds of value, open to any faith or none.

The values you hold

What the two of you choose to stand for and protect, written down as your Our Ten.

The value you feel

What your marriage gives you every day, noticed and named instead of taken for granted.

Living the first is what creates the second.

The program

A guided path for couples, drawn from Scott's training in Spiritual Psychology.
