After tragedy rocked their world, the Fertels found their marriage floundering. And marital therapy made things worse. So Moe created his own program
Marriage is not only an art; it’s a science. It can be learned, says Mort Fertel, author of Marriage Fitness and founder of the accompanying programs, including an audio program and tele-boot camp. “As with everything in life — sports, medicine, music — there are correct methodologies, and we need to be trained to do them well. Marriage is the same. There’s a formula for success.”
Mort Fertel has the formula — in fact, he created it. And this father of five from Baltimore wants you to have it as well.
“It’s not like I went to college for this, or that I decided to become an expert,” Fertel says. Instead, he and his wife experienced their own marital crisis after they suffered the loss of three children. Their son lived only one week, and then, a year and half later, the couple lost twin girls.
Following these tragedies, Fertel says, his wife became very depressed, and he immersed himself in work. Their marriage suffered. But “somewhere deep in our hearts, we knew we didn’t want to lose each other. We made a commitment to work on our marriage.”
