What Is A Marriage Translator And How Well Qualified Are They?

 


Q) Is Your Service Strictly Confidential?

A) Other than your Marriage Translator, no one else is involved with your learning process. Your phone calls are completely private. The particulars of your situation are held in the strictest confidence and we take this very seriously. Your private life is your business and your Translator lives by this philosophy.

Q) Does This Program Take a Psychological Approach?

A) There is one major problem with psychology. Its words and labels create a vast canyon of separation between psychologists and the rest of us. Psychologists primarily seem to struggle to get to the point and show little ability to make the complex simple. Our approach explains the truth about how people are wired emotionally and does it in a way that anyone can understand.

Q) Besides Your Own Life Experiences, What Do You Base Your Foundation For Helping Others? What Source Do You Build Your Belief System On?

A) The material delivered in the Environment Changer Program is based on the most recent research discovered about the brain and emotions. For example, what you’ll learn is supported by Daniel Goleman’s well-researched book Emotional Intelligence. The contents of this program are also supportive of the Christian faith and many couples with this world view have said that the program deepened their faith.

Q) Are Your Methods Reliable? I Need Accountability In Moving Forward To Improve My Struggling Marriage.

A) One of the most important keys to The Environment Changer Program is accountability. Throughout the entire program, you’ll learn about your most positive motivations, how your childhood affects your marriage and how to eliminate your negative feelings. Your Translator will assist you in setting specific goals that are focused on how you will become true to yourself, while you let go of the insecurities that create self-centered behavior. If you want to grow or move forward in your marriage, you will need to learn how to be happy with yourself. The Environment Changer Program will help you do exactly that.

Q) My Spouse Has Told Me "I Love You, But I'm Not In Love With You Anymore." Is There Any Hope For Us Or Is It Already Too Late?

A) This is one of the most popular questions we get… “Is it too late?” The question of marriage having some kind of final line to cross means that your interest in each other was never understood, not supported or mended when broken. Because couples do nothing while all the supports are breaking apart between them, one spouse begins running away while the other wakes up and starts asking questions. These questions should have been asked well before the emotional damage reached its peak. Your real question should be, “Have we damaged our connection to the point that it cannot be repaired?”

Q) How Do I Know Your Program Really Works?

A) For couples who have made many past efforts to improve their marriage, it often causes them to wonder if there is something that really does work long term. Rather than “selling” you on the program, for those who are sincere about it, we like to have you talk to couples who have been helped by the process. If you want to talk to a real couple who has actually experienced the full program, we’d be glad to coordinate that for you. Contact us and indicate within your email that you are interested in speaking with another couple by phone.

Q) How IS Your Program Different From Marriage Counseling?

A) Classic marriage counseling focuses on finding problems in order to fix them. Unfortunately, this approach has not worked for marriage in the last 40 years. The Environment Changer Program has a completely different focus. We want to show you what’s right about the two of you, how you’re motivated differently and why that’s good, not bad. We never get into “who said what to whom” and we never dredge up the past or attempt to place blame. Dwelling on problems only creates more problems.

Q) What Is A Marriage Translator And How Well Qualified Are They?

A) Marriage Translators are skilled in the ability to hear what you’re really trying to say and then help your spouse understand exactly that, without bad feelings inserted or misunderstandings happening in the process. Almost every marriage in the world could use a Marriage Translator. The Marriage Translator process is totally positive, never dwells on your past and uses specific tools and methods to help you focus on each other’s strengths.

To qualify for becoming a Translator, a potential Marriage Translator must first complete the program with their spouse and prove that what they learned has caused their marriage to move to a higher level of fulfillment. People who qualify can become Marriage Translators through a three month training school, but what ultimately qualifies an individual as a Translator is the fact that their own marriage has become a model of success.

Q) Do You Offer A Payment Plan?

A) The Environment Changer Program offers a monthly payment program that is the equivalent of a monthly car payment ($280 once a month, for 4 months). The Environment Changer Program is the vehicle that will take your relationship and your family to a whole new level of relating and communicating that you have never experienced before. Couples or individuals who are ready to take this investment in their marriage are serious about what matters most. They see their marriage as far more valuable than their car. Couples who are not ready or willing to commit to their marriage will often consider their car more valuable than their marriage. (The program can also be paid in a single payment of $997, saving you money.)

Q) Who Sets The Agenda/Goals For Each Phone Call?

A) You will receive an overview document when you sign up for the program that tells you what you must do next, how to do it and how long it will take to complete.

Back To Top

Q) If I Order Your Program Through Your Web site, How Long Will I Have To Wait To Be Contacted And Begin The Program?

A) Once you place the order, we will contact you within 12-24 hours of confirmation to set up the dates/times of your 8 calls over the one month period. Before you begin, you will need to fax back our agreement form and complete our online application. These documents are sent to you immediately after your order is processed. Once we receive the completed forms, we will contact you to set up your scheduled calls for the month and you will then begin the program during your scheduled dates and times.

Q) Where Can I Sign Up For Your Program?

A) Here is a direct link to the order page for the Environment Changer Program. Both methods of payment are available on this page.

Q) Your Program Sounds Inspiring, But Why Does It Cost So Much?

A) There are three basic types of marriage help today:

Type 1) A marriage therapist who will see the two of you in an office setting.

Type 2) A home study course that might include books, CD’s and study materials you complete on your own.

Type 3) Marriage coaching where you talk to a third party on the telephone who advises you on skills you can practice to improve your marriage.

Type 1 marriage help often creates more damage to your relationship when one of you feels that the therapist is taking sides. Though different types of employment insurance often pay for this help, the low cost to the couple becomes a high cost when the process fails.

Type 2 marriage help is a low cost alternative and may work if both spouses learn by listening and reading non-interactive study materials. If one spouse does not follow along, or decides to quit, this type of help can cause the couple to fail as one spouse becomes discouraged.

Type 3 marriage help is a higher cost option because it gives you the benefit of a private marriage coach who supports both of your needs in a positive environment. Typical pricing runs within the $150 per hour range.

The Environment Changer Program is Type 3 marriage help, but delivers a 100% positive, proven and effective plan for couples or individuals who need someone to care about their marriage when no one else will. The cost of this marriage support system is lower than marriage coaching on a per hour basis.

Q) My Spouse Has Engaged In An Affair. Does Your Program Help Couples Overcome Infidelity?

A) Infidelity is a typical result of a neglected relationship. We see it as just another sign of two people remaining ignorant of marriage success principles that they never learned. Infidelity does not guarantee the end of a marriage and is often the inappropriate cause for both spouses to wake up to a renewed desire to learn how to be married the right way.

Back To Top

Q) I Am Interested In Your Program, But My Spouse Is Not Willing To Participate, Will That Be A Problem? Can Your Program Truly Help Us Even If She/He Refuses To Participate?

A) Absolutely. The Environment Changer program was specifically created to help individual spouses transform themselves from the inside out, thereby positively affecting their "leaving spouse". (The program is has an 88% success rate when both spouses' participate). The Environment Changer Program makes it possible for only one spouse to make positive efforts to change the environment in their marriage and stop a divorce without their spouses' participation.

IMPORTANT: But it is important you realize that you must be 100% committed to your marriage and willing to be a 'good student' in order to do this on your own. We are not looking for individuals to join this program who already have, as the saying goes " one foot out the door".

Q) I Believe My Spouse Has A Sex Addiction That Is Destroying Our Marriage, Can You Help Us?

A) People with troubled childhoods where neglect or abuse was present, in almost every case, struggle in their marriages. This is a scenario where a therapist who works with individuals is a better idea than this program. When you come out of a really troubled childhood, getting help for what happened to you is step one, then working on your marriage is step two.

Q) Does Your Program Help With Second Marriage Problems?

A) Second marriages put a couple under far more stain than they ever imagined, especially when children from previous marriages are in the home. Tension can remain high and communication greatly strained. The Environment Changer Program helps husbands and wives in second marriages understand their roles as step parents and the seemingly complex relationship with their stepchildren. There are many ways to do this wrong. The Environment Changer Program teaches you the principles, methods and tools to understand how to reduce the high stress of second marriages and blended families that rarely blend.

Q) Will Your Program Work If We Are Already In The Process Of Divorce? What If We Have Our Trial Date Already Set? Is My Situation Beyond Repair?

A) The Environment Changer Program is a positive alternative that will help you repair your marriage on your own. The program is also effective for those who are separated and having poor communication. If you are completely committed to your marriage, this program can help you avoid a divorce. Each situation is different of course, so if you would like to speak one-on-one with Larry to find out if there is still hope for your marriage, submit your entry to Larry Bilotta's Second Chance program here.

Back To Top

Q) We Are Engaged To Be Married. Will Your Program Help Us?

A) If this is your first marriage, The Environment Changer Program is a sure way to get your marriage off to a far more secure footing. You will create a strong foundation for your relationship that will help you withstand common “hot button” obstacles such as in laws, financial issues, conflicting values and so many other tests that push marriages to the breaking point. Think of this program as your safe passage through the murky waters that destroy so many other marriages simply because they did not have the knowledge and skills to do things right the first time around.

Back To Top

Q) What Percent Of Those Who Take The Course Revert Back To Old Behaviors/Patterns Over Time?

A) This is the biggest threat to any marriage building investment…time. The Environment Changer Program has an 88% success rate in saving marriages when both spouses' participate. The 12% are those who gave up on their marriage and were not willing to apply what they learned to their marriage.

While the Environment Changer Program will help you get your marriage "out of the fire", the farther away you get from the material, the more you forget what was making your marriage successful.

We have created a series of support programs that couples or individuals can pursue once they complete the Environment Changer Program to help them stay on track.

The programs vary in length, but your focus will be on continuing to apply the insights you used in the Environment Changer Program to the unique situations and challenges that arrive in daily life.

Q) Does the Environment Changer Program Work With Couples Who Live Outside the USA?

A) Yes it does! If you live outside the USA, there are two main ways we will communicate with you . Over the phone the traditional way with international calling rates you would incur…OR…We use a FREE program for making calls over the internet called Skype. This program allows us to speak to anyone else over the internet who also has Skype installed on their computer. It’s free and easy to download and use, and works with most computers. (Best of all, NO international calling charges!)

Back To Top

Q) Who Calls Who?

A) The Environment Changer Program consists of 8, 1 hour phone calls, (twice a week) spread over the course of one month. Your calls can be scheduled in combinations of Sunday / Wednesday, Monday / Thursday or Tuesday / Friday. Depending on scheduling, calls can be done during the day or in the evening.

Before you begin the program, you’ll choose the time and days of the week that are most convenient for you (out of those that are open for your Marriage Translator). These times and days are consistent throughout the 4 weeks. We do this to keep the two of you on a steady routine throughout the program. Your Marriage Translator will always be the one to call you, rather than the other way around.

Q) What is the Difference Between the Environment Changer Program and Traditional Counseling?

A) Traditional counseling works for some couples, but historically, marriage counseling has failed to keep marriages together. The main reason for this failure is that marriage counseling is based on finding what is wrong with couples and then trying to fix it. Therapists are trained in university programs to believe that if the right questions are asked, the patient will find their own answers. If this were true, hundreds of thousands of practicing therapists would have already lowered our 50% divorce rate, but this has not happened.

What most couples don’t like about this theory is that these ‘questions’ often involve digging deep into your “psyche” by bringing up painful situations from the past. This is especially difficult for a man because men are not “built” to share their emotions.

Couples often tell us that counseling did not work for them because it took the counselor many weeks to even get an understanding of their problems. What couples find most often is that once they focus on their problems, they are no longer able to think of solutions.

By contrast, the Environment Changer Program uses a set of unique online tools and your Marriage Translator to simplify and clearly explain exactly what you need to do to overcome the biggest obstacles in your marriage. We want to show you what’s right about the two of you, how you’re motivated differently and why that’s good, not bad. We never get into “who said what to whom” and we never dredge up the past or attempt to place blame. Dwelling on problems only creates more problems. As the two of you focus on your strengths, your problems evolve into solutions.

Q) Will the Environment Changer Program Conflict With My Religious Beliefs?

A) Married couples with a variety of different faiths and backgrounds have completed the Environment Changer Program and found that none of the material conflicts with their religious foundations. In fact, couples are amazed at how it helps them see their faith in a way that helps them apply and live what they have already believed.

Q) Would You Recommend I Still See My Counselor While Participating in the Environment Changer Program?

A) Most couples find that they make greater progress in their therapy work while they are going through the Environment Changer Program. Psychiatrist and therapists alike have commented that the Environment Changer Program augments and supports what they are trying to accomplish with their patients. But ultimately, it needs to be your own decision on whether or not you continue with your counseling while participating in the Environment Changer Program.

Back To Top

Q) Does This Program Really Work?

A) Yes it really does. To date, the program has a success rate of 88% (with both spouses' participating) in taking marriages from a miserable state and transforming them, giving the couple hope, the skills to communicate without fighting and the possibility of real happiness together. The 12% of couples whose marriages are not turned around by the Environment Changer Program are those who do not complete the program or those who refuse to practice the skills they learned through it.

Q) Can I Order By Phone?

A) Yes, if you are uncomfortable with ordering online, you can order by telephone by calling (262) 644-6815 during the business hours of 8:00am-5:00pm CST. We will process your credit card manually over the phone through our Secure and Trusted Gateway Merchant Authorize.net.

Back To Top

Q) Is an Internet Connection Required?

A) In order to participate in the Environment Changer Program, you will need a computer, an Internet connection and email service. At the present time, the cost of participating in the Environment Changer Program without an Internet connection is $1197 due to mailing costs and a slower pace required dealing with mailing of materials and labor to create those custom materials.

Back To Top

Q) Why Is the Environment Changer Program Priced At $997?

A) There is no other program on the internet like the Environment Changer Program (or even “offline” for that matter). This program combines several completely customized online tools with one of the most useful learning tools there is…a REAL person.

Most internet based marriage improvement solutions charge anywhere from $95-$575 an hour for the kind of one-on-one support offered to you in the Environment Changer Program. But the downside of paying on a “per call” or “per session” basis (as in traditional counseling) is that it can become quite expensive…and in fact far exceed $997.

But that’s not the worst part.

In traditional counseling, there is no end in sight….no “light at the end of the tunnel” so to speak. These hefty hourly charges can add up VERY quickly resulting in fees upwards of $2-3,000 which in turn put MORE financial strain on your marriage. We’ve helped many couples who were absolutely crippled by the great financial strain resulting from seemingly endless hours of marriage counseling.

So that’s why we offer the Environment Changer Program for a one time payment of $997 (with the option of a 3 payment plan to make things a little easier for struggling couples). No where else can you get such personalized support where your time and money will result in a complete transformation of your marriage.
