Brad saved our marriage—no doubt about it! We have four kids who’s lives would have been forever negatively impacted by a divorce, but thankfully, my husband and I are happier than ever. Sounds crazy writing this but it’s true. Brad helped us realize the root cause of the affair. This allowed me to truly forgive—with understanding comes compassion and grace. He also taught us how to stop the negative cycle, how to work on our relationship and how to maintain connection and intimacy.

Like many others who have posted reviews before, we came to Marriage Solutions as a last resort following an infidelity. We chose Daniel after reading posted reviews and felt he would be the best fit for us. We were absolutely right!! Daniel is caring and compassionate. As we worked through our issues, he was able to guide us through the process of reconciliation. Marriage takes consistent hard work, and Daniel helped us find the tools to communicate at a deeper level.During our sessions with Daniel, we found out more about ourselves and each other. These discoveries helped us to appreciate each other’s perspectives. This included realizing where our marriage was at the beginning of our sessions and working toward where we wanted our marriage to ultimately be.Daniel’s quiet demeanor and methodology helped us to be comfortable enough to share what needed to be shared and deal with it in a safe environment. This allowed us to move forward in a much healthier way than we could have on our own.Thank you, Daniel, for helping us get back to a healthy, happy marriage!!

We went through counselling with Daniel almost 3 years ago. I wanted to post another review for those of you on the fence and wondering if your marriage can truly be fixed for the long term.Seeing Daniel when we did was one of the best decisions we have ever made. Not only did he discover the core of our issues, he gave us the tools to keep our marriage rock solid. (weve had 3 years to prove it!). It wasnt your typical counselling you hear about. You know, the write down the things you appreciate about your spouse or giving you weird behavior changing homework, or deciding whos the problem of the relationship. None of that. That kind of therapy just attempts to fix the symptoms. This is different and worth every penny. For us, at least, it not only fixed our marriage but made us better people individually.If youre truly serious about fixing your relationship, can remember the good times and want them back, you can have that and more. :)

My wife and I were referred to Brad by our Pastor. We were at our wits end after nearly 26 years of marriage! The decline in our relationship began in earnest while newlyweds. While we shared many good times as we raised our family, we had increasing difficulty functioning as a couple. Things took a notable turn for the worse when my job began taking up much more of my time.We tried counseling five years earlier, though found it to be of little benefit. It was evident to me from the beginning that Brad was on to something, though I never imagined the results would be so sweet and satisfying! He has an excellent couch-side manner, and worked hard to keep us focused on each other during our sessions. There were times that I thought he was pushing too hard (and I told him so!), but he deftly navigated the choppy waters of our relationship.Brad assigned homework after each session, which I found very useful. The process though was very time-consuming and at times difficult, which was necessary in the scheme of things.Brad, thank you so much - your efforts helped us save our marriage and put it on solid ground!

I’m not prone to opening up to anyone, let alone therapists. I was, deep down, affected by the perception that these kinds of visits come with stigma and shame. I was wrong. Daniel, whom I reviewed thoroughly, proved through thoughtful, thorough, and professional contemplation that he was up to the task of helping us to effectively work on our marriage together.We were in a cycle which at the time seemed to be inescapable. Daniel helped us, at our own pace, specific to our own needs, giving each of us the attention required to keep us focused on what matters most to the two of us; our marriage. His approach was kind, but not overly so. He guided us but didn’t hurry. He aided us in removing the blocks that we ourselves had set up. Through this, we were able to find each other and gain back a love that I thought was gone. Thank you. Thank you so much.

My wife and I can not thank Brad enough for what he was able to accomplish with us during our sessions with him. We are in a MUCH better place in our marriage than we were a few months ago, and its all thanks to his hard work and expertise. The approach he uses was something I was completely unfamiliar with, and was incredibly effective. We never really got into who was right or wrong in a given situation, but focused more on the emotions and cycles that caused us to get into those situations in the first place. I was able to open up during our sessions in a way that I didnt really think was possible. Im still pretty blown away by the whole experience.For anyone even considering, if youre reading these reviews... you need to do your marriage a favor and at least check it out. Us tackling these issues early on in our marriage will definitely prove to be one of the best decisions weve made when we look back, I can guarantee it. We understand each other better, and even understand things about ourselves that we never would have without his assistance.Thanks again for everything youve done for us Brad, you are definitely a beacon of hope in any struggling marriage, hopefully these reviews will help point people in the right direction so that they may find the path back towards happiness with you as their guide, like we have.Mike

We have been seeing Brad for months now and he absolutely helped us save our marriage. We had been to counseling before and it was not successful. Brad focuses on emotionally focused therapy and it has made a huge difference. We had a great experience and highly recommend him!

I am very thankful to Brad. He poured himself into my wife and I when we meet with him. He listened intently to what was going on in our lives, before suggesting anything. I have been to other counselors, but it was all about them. I would share with them, and get a clinical answer, that was 30 minutes long. Brad kept his comments short and to the point of what was going on in our lives. He gave us a safe place to open up. I highly recommend anyone who is looking for a counselor that has a heart for people and marriages to get connected with Marriage Solutions and Brad.

We have been married for over 30 years. The spark was gone and we were living in our own little worlds, even though neither of us wanted that. Brad was a master at helping us drill down to the issues that were causing negative cycles in our lives. Once we understood the issues, he helped us with ways to overcome them and a plan to identify and deal with them in the future. Theres absolutely no doubt that this was worth the cost ten fold!

Review №11

After 25 years of marriage and parenting, my husband and I had grown apart, each of us heading in different directions. If our marriage was going to be restored, we needed professional help.Brad was instrumental in bringing us back to a place that had become unfamiliar to us-the love and commitment we once shared. He taught us how to communicate on an emotional level instead of the transactional communications we had been using to navigate our days.My husband and I looked one another in the eyes and shared the deep seated hurts, anger and bitterness that had become a wall between us through the years. In our meetings we learned how to communicate without anger. We reminded one another of why we married in the first place and remembered the positive aspects of our 25 year marriage and our beautiful family. We tore down walls and built trust that seemed impossible just months earlier. Brad helped us find our way back to one another and the love we shared so many years ago.If you are willing to do the hard work of saving your marriage and restoring your family, Brad is the very man you need to help you on your way.

My boyfriend and I went to see Daniel because we were on the verge of breaking up, but both of us wanted save our relationship. Daniel is an amazing therapist. He helped us open up to each other and get to the root of the feelings we were having that drove our unhealthy communication and triggered arguments. Now we are using healthy communication and when there is a conflict, we take a step back to identify what we are feeling and discuss it calmly. Daniel taught us important relationship tools. He saved our relationship and now my boyfriend and I are working on moving in together.

I am so grateful to Daniel. I think that not only did he help save the relationship with my girlfriend and I, but he helped strengthen it as well. Most of the sessions were tough, there was a lot of hard work put in, and bringing emotions to the surface, but he was there to guide us every step of the way. He talked us through finding the reasons behind our issues, and how to resolve them in a very healthy manner.I cant recommend him highly enough. He is the best.

Review №15

We came to Brad at rock bottom in our marriage. We were desperately trying to survive an affair and even moved from another state to Tulsa in an attempt to end the affair and start over. When the communication with the other woman continued even after we moved, we began seeing Brad. What we found was a safe place to process through the trauma we had experienced. Brad helped us get to the root of the affair and helped us process through what was on our minds and hearts each week. He helped us dig deeper than just the events or the previous 9 months and see triggers and situations that left unresolved where like smoldering coals waiting to ignite into a wild fire.As we became transparent and vulnerable, we began to see each other in a new light and healing began. It was mind boggling how many things we didnt know or understand about each other even after nine years of marriage.There was a point, about midway through our time with Brad, in which we felt like we had met each other for the first time, only better. One thing is both true and very surprising to us, from the very first two hour session to every single once since, we have never left wishing we hadnt had the appointment. We always leave our time with Brad encouraged by the idea of better things ahead.It wasnt a quick fix but instead it was an open process that made us realize it was much better than any quick fix. Over time, we have developed tools we now use every day in our marriage. Brads instruction and the tools he has given us, have brought us to a place of emotional intimacy we never had in the first nine years of our marriage.To say that Brad is an expert in marriage and emotional therapy isnt a marketing gimmick, it is the absolute truth. We had heart change that wouldnt have come without his gentle yet effective direction and counseling. One of the first things we realized is that Brad has a calling to help marriages and he takes his calling very seriously. From the beginning he made us feel like our marriage was the most important marriage he had ever worked with.The time and money required is more than worth it and has proven to be the best time and money we have ever spent. We plan to continue to see Brad, although less frequently now, because we know our marriage is worth the investment! We also know that our marriage is and will be a priority from now on. Before Brad, we were on a path for history to repeat itself again and again or worse yet, our marriage completely crumbling. After Brad, we are not perfect but we have a new connection that brings us a hope daily for a better marriage and a long future together. Our perspective has changed and we firmly believe that every marriage needs an expert like Brad to speak into it and encourage growth. We cant say enough positive things about our experience.

I had apprehensions about who I would find for counseling. It was a dire time and we needed help. I knew I may not have time to shop counselors until I found one that would be a good fit. I spent time looking at Marriage Solutions info, videos and pod casts before calling. I decided to hand over the most important and delicate situation in our lives to Daniel. After our first session I knew I had made the right decision. No matter where the chips fell in our relationship I could tell that we were not going to find someone who could help us any more expertly than Daniel. It has been an eye opening experience with a positive outcome. I am thankful everyday for choosing this counseling technique and for Daniels help.

Thanks to Brad, my husband and I have found a new emotional intimacy that our marriage lacked for the last 9 years. Thanks to Brad, year 10 has become the best year yet. It isnt magic, it takes work but Brad has given us the tools and confidence to grow and learn so much more about each other. There arent enough words to express our gratitude for Brad and his gift of helping marriages. Brad is not just another counselor, he excels in his calling to focus on marriage and we can see his passion each time we meet with him. He offers a safe place to process your struggles. Bringing Brad into our marriage has been a game changer!

We have been very pleased with the help we have received from Daniel at Marriage Solutions. He uses a very unique approach that really helped my husband and I see where we went wrong and really understand one another better. We were given tools to help us in dealing with the current issues and any that come up in the future. So thankful for Daniel - he has made a big difference in our marriage.

Brad got my marriage back on track. My Husband and I were going through a very rough patch and with Brads approach he taught us how to reconnect again. He really knows what he is doing and has such a sincere quality about him. Once he helped us identify our issues he came up with a clear and decisive plan of action and in no time we had our marriage back. He doesnt waste any time and makes the most out of all your sessions. Money was one reason we were hesitant in trying therapy but then we asked ourselves would we rather rack up some credit card debt or not be together anymore? Its an easy choice when you put it in perspective. His wife is the most lovely person and is so helpful and willing to help you with a payment plan. Brad Robinson is simply the BEST and when it comes to your marriage you deserve only the BEST! He gets an absolute 100% recommendation from me.

(I am posting this review my wife wrote, for her, since her college Google e-mail wont let her have a Google Plus Account.)My husband left in early January with every intention of calling it quits. Needless to say, I was devastated. We had our problems, but I didnt think our relationship was beyond repair. I was desperate for a solution, and my husband said we could try counseling and recommended Brad Robinson of Marriage Solutions. My husband was very doubtful that counseling would change his mind, but he at least agreed to go. Brad was very understanding of both sides of the issues at hand and recommend we read a book together along with going to counseling with him every week. Within 7 weeks my husband had a complete change of heart and moved back in. We are still seeing Brad because not everything has been resolved, but without his help we would be signing divorce papers instead of buying a house and planning our future together. Regardless of the monetary cost I tell Brad all the time that what he did for us was priceless and that I am forever indebted to him. If youre in need of an anchor and want to save your marriage, go to Brad! I promise you, you will not regret it!!!!With a million thank yous,Megan

I have experienced the most growth of my life since June of this year. It all started with Brad leading me towards my emotions. I had never been open emotionally and never really knew the importance of it. Turns out it is what I had really been searching for all along. I could not recommend Marriage Solutions any more. If you are a couple who both want to make it work, they can get you there. Simply put they are good therapists. Experts at finding the true emotions and letting it speak for itself. Thank You Marraige Solutions for guiding my life in the right direction, you are truly used by God.

Review №22

Ive waited 10 months after counseling ceased to post this review. Our counselor Daniel did a wonderful job equipping my wife and I to communicate in a better manner, to understand our primary and secondary emotions and treat each other with kindness.At the end of the process, it was suggested that my wife continue counseling to work on her solo issues. She declined. Within four months she had retreated, as before, and begun to make anything (work, students, friends, etc.) but me a priority.As I write this I am thankful for what I learned at Marriage Solutions because it has made me a more mindful and openly communicative person. I am disappointed that my wife declined to seek further counseling and that she has decided to end our marriage. The fact that I still love her isnt enough to repair the damage done by both of us.Heres my advice: Seek the help of Marriage Solutions sooner rather than later. Timing is everything.

I was desperate and lost after my wife abandoned me. I had never thought much of marital counseling, but Brad helped me get my wife into counseling and brought a clarity and peace to me as we attempted to work through our marriage.Brad is a gifted communicator and facilitates open and fair conversation between all parties. In addition, he has a gentle, caring, and empathetic demeanor which contributes to the soothing and safe environment he provides for his sessions.I highly recommend Brad to counsel for any type of marital issue. I was completely surprised at the impact he brought to my life and will be forever thankful to Brad for his keen insight and terrific advice.

I was reluctant at first but now I cant imagine how things we would be if we hadnt seen Daniel. I guess we could have continued to beat our heads against the wall. Always ending up in the same frustrating place. But now our perspectives have changed and as a result, our lives. It was the best thing we ever did for each other. It was worth every penny and I would encourage every couple to go.

Review №27

My wife and I had only been married for a year, yet we found ourselves constantly arguing. It didnt matter if the subject was big or small, the outcome was the same, both of us were exhausted and no progress was made. We decided to talk to Marriage Solutions about just that, and the result was almost immediate.Daniel, our counselor, showed us how to do three things quite effectively. He showed us how to communicate in a way that is non-confrontational and respectful to our partners needs, he gave us deep insight into our partners wants and needs, and provided ideas of how to fulfill those wants and needs for each other. As a result, neither of us are quick to anger, we mitigate disaster by effectively communicating our needs, and even when we slip, we are much better at forgiveness.I used to see two different paths that our marriage would follow. One was a path where we continued to get angry, continued to fight, and continued to close ourselves from the other until bitterness and resentment took hold. The other path was for us to somehow find a way to settle our problems, work together, and build a relationship that improved our quality of life. Thanks to Daniel and Marriage Solutions, now I only see the latter.

We are an older couple with a 21 year age difference. Bill had never been married and I had been single for 30 years. We struggled with preconceived ideas of what marriage should look like. We had been best friends of 20 years but we now struggled with connection. Daniel listened as we aired our perspectives and grievances. What he taught us was the crisis was not in disconnecting, but in how we reconnected. We had forgotten how to be best friends. Our friendship is restored. Our marriage was saved from us individually checking out when we felt wounded by the other. We learned to appreciate where we are right here, right now.

Review №29

Brad is the absolute BEST! A total Godsend! If I could give him 100 stars i would. My husband is of the same opinion. Brad has SAVED our marriage more than once. We first sought marriage counselling after 25 years of marriage. Any other wife would have been long gone, but I was not ready to throw away all those years. Brad helped us not only overcome my trauma, but helped my husband and I grow closer than ever. Alas, we have had to return to Brad after two years due to relapses, and are once again receiving just the right comfort, compassion, and strategies we need to try to make it again. Brad seems determined that ANY marriage can overcome even the worst, couples can learn and grow, and that those marriages can not only survive but thrive. PLEASE call him right away at the first sign of despair... DO NOT GIVE UP HOPE!!!! Especially if theres even the slightest chance your mate is willing to try. If my marriage can make it, so can yours... and ours should and could have ended a million times over- and with good reason! So yes, Brad can help!!! :D

When we first went to Marriage Solutions, our marriage was in jeopardy. Our councilor, Daniel, listened to each of us with no blame or judgement. He helped us focus on our real issues. Most importantly, he helped us learn to talk and listen to each other again.At the beginning, we both felt completely disconnected and helpless to repair our marriage. Now, we both feel closer than we have ever been! Thanks to Daniel, we realized how much we missed each other. We realized just how important our marriage really is to us.Thank you Daniel for helping us find our way back to each other! Thank you Morgan and Victoria for all you kindness! We appreciate all of you so much!

A lot can happen in 15 yrs of marriage.My wife and I are forever grateful to Daniel for his professional guidance during the toughest moments of our life together.We learned new ways of listening and communicating with one another and these are the tools that we will have the rest of our lives.We found Daniels care and concern for our progress throughout the counseling to be genuine.It is obvious, he loves his work.Certainly, a good marriage is hard work.When things go wrong it is even harder to sort through the hurt and disappointment and fear to find each other .It has been a joy and a relief to finally reconcile and move forward in life with my love,my partner and my wife..........Thank you Daniel

Review №34

My husband and I have been married for 20 years. We were in denial about the health of our relationship and we didnt want to admit that the way we interacted with each other was leaving us feeling anxious, defensive, resentful and isolated. The dark hole we had allowed our marriage to fall into seemed impossible to climb out of. We took a chance on a guy named Daniel who threw us a lifeline. We sat in his office and let him into our pain. He listened. He made us slow down. He encouraged us to be vulnerable and showed us how to create safety for one another. I started to have hope that Daniel could save our marriage. He ended up doing something even more incredible than that. He taught us how to be brave enough to save it ourselves.

Review №35

We went to Daniel after having some trouble in our marriage, one of us had committed the ultimate betrayal and it was getting harder by the day for us to move on from this mistake. Neither of us wanted to give up on our marriage but neither of us was sure how to move forward and repair the damage done. We had tried what we thought to be everything on our own but none of it worked we turned to Marriage Solutions and from the first person we spoke with whom was Morgan she walked us through the process and set us up with Daniel as a last hope. Daniel was great from the very first time we sat down with him he never took sides nor did he ever cast any blame on anyone. He listened and walked us both through trusting each other again, he got us communicating in ways that we had never before, he rekindled our love and affection for each other that we had at day one. Daniel helped us both to find our true selves and show us both how to be comfortable in our marriage and openly communicate with each other something that we had never even done before everything happened. Daniel gave us our best friend back and has helped to guide us to an even better relationship than we had. I would recommend Daniel to anyone that thinks that they have tried everything and have lost all hope in their marriage. Daniel truly was our Marriage Solution.

Brad was our third marriage counselor. My husband and I were still newlyweds, but we had some seriously tough family stress. Were both fairly complicated people, and it takes a pretty savvy counselor to help us. Brad is that guy! He quickly gained and kept our trust, helped to create a plan for moving forward, and over a period of months helped to strengthen our marriage to be the best its ever been - even better than when we were dating. We were a bit hesitant to pay the money, but I have to say Im so happy we have, because I dont know where wed be if we hadnt. I give Brad my highest recommendation.

Attention all married couples! Marriage Solutions can help you and your spouse grow even closer and stronger together as a family. Unfortunately most people think counseling is reserved for times of trouble but that is simply untrue. Once we discovered Marriage Solutions and the EFCT method we dove right in even though we are totally in love and happy beyond belief. We did this because we strongly believe that healthy relationships require hard work and investment.We have been working with Daniel and we cant thank him enough for helping us learn better and better ways to communicate and support each other. This method is unlike any other marriage counseling out there and these counsellors are rockstars! The best in Oklahoma!Remember, having the ability to go to counseling is a luxury not a sign of weakness. Life is hard for all and we need others to support us!

My husband and I have been together 7 years and married for 3. I never would have thought it would come to us needing counseling so early into our marriage if at all, but it was the best decision we ever made. Things had arose within our marriage that we needed assistance communicating about. We were still very much in love and had no thoughts of divorce, but we had just reached a place where we werent communicating effectively and harming each other unintentionally with the silence. We both cared so deeply about not hurting the other person we were holding back conversations that were long overdue. Working with Daniel has helped us become closer to one another in a way that we never thought was possible. We are both amazed at the skills we have learned and the growth we have made in our marriage. Admitting that we needed help was the hardest part for both of us but it was the absolute best decision we have even made. We cannot thank Daniel and Marriage Solutions enough for everything they have done.

I can’t say enough good things about Brad. His quiet, thoughtful and educated manner has changed our lives for the better. He was instrumental in saving our marriage of 20 years. After learning about my husband’s affairs, I felt it wasn’t possible to forgive him. I thought I could just learn how to handle the pain and move on from it. I learned to forgive, learned the why’s of his actions and how I added to the crack in our marriage that ended up with his infidelity. Brad helped us learn much about ourselves as well. This knowledge has helped us work on being better, more vulnerable individuals so that we can be open to each other’s fears and needs. As a result we are a stronger couple that we ever were. To say that I’m grateful to have had found Brad and Marriage Solutions is almost and understatement. He was a lifesaver to us.

Brad Robinson was a game changer in our marriage. My wife and I were going through the typical ups and downs of married life a few years back. We got stuck in a negative cycle and were unable to pull ourselves out. We went to Brad and within a few sessions things began to improve and now 4 years later things have never been better. The thing I most liked about his counseling was that he gave us tools and principals that we continue to use in our marriage. He helped us out of some hard times and the principals he taught us continue to improve our relationship even in the good times. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Review №41

Both of us were divorced from previous 20 year marriages and trauma that caused immediate grief in our current five-year marriage. Its unfortunate that we waited and wasted five rocky years before discovering Brad and Marriage Solutions Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for couples. EFT is a wholly different approach from our past traditional therapy experiences. For one its actually working. Secondly, we learned how to respect and take advantage of our own, and each others primary feelings in a remarkable way that brings us closer together when inevitable conflicts do arise. Thirdly, it was hands down worth the investment and more healing than expensive material things purchased in pursuit of happiness. And finally, it doesnt look likely but even if we ultimately decided to divorce, the benefit of our EFT will retain its value, and will certainly have a positive impact on our future individually.

Review №42

WE HOPE THIS REVIEW WILL BRING YOU HOPE, WHOVEVER YOU MAY BE, AND SHOWCASE THE INCREDIBLE WORK OF BRAD ROBINSON AND MARRIAGE SOULTUIONS:“All these 5 star reviews, theyre just so fake! I mean, LOOK AT THEM, they look TOO happy!” Words spoken in collective agreement on a mid-summers night. A concerned family member had sent a link to a highly recommended marriage councilor, our marriage problems now indiscriminately being carried outside the walls of our home. “We dont need counseling, were just in this or not. Its that simple”. This, of course, was a lie.When the reality of a divorce was imminent, we agreed to seek the help of Marriage Solutions. This seemingly “perfect” couple on a marriage counseling website, with boasts of major network appearances and “Best Reviewed Couple Therapy Practice in the Midwest” was sure to squash the inevitable cries of “not trying” when the divorce was done. When we walked into the practice, we expected the grandiose accolades and accomplishments of this magical place where marriages are saved to be gratuitously shoved down our throats, as if in awe of some superpower bestowed upon this little, humble office. We were disappointed.We met with Brad Robinson, a man who upon first meeting, would make you forget all the reservations you had about such a well spoken-of individual. He was average height, soft spoken, offers a handshake and a water. He was simple. He takes us into his office and we sit down on the couch. Full size, not a love seat. We expect this is where he starts in with achievement rates, how everything else is a sham and he can show us the real secrets. “This is going to hurt...” he whispers. The pause is numbing. “I cant guarantee I can help you save your marriage, but like a doctor treating an infection,” he continues, “we have to clean the wounds to let them heal properly”. If your reading this and your stomach dropped, the feeling was palpable in the room. All the bandages we had applied to our relationship were about to come off. Will we survive this? In Brads office hangs a shadow painting of a Spanish Matador and a Bull. It now had context.We met with Brad every week. At first, those drives to his practice were nerve racking, always wondering what new level of our complicated relationship would be brought into those four walls. Can the healing survive? What are we going to face this week? As gut-wrenching as the process could be, one thing became apparent as our sessions continued. A comfortable feeling would come over as Brad sat with us, as if the room were slowly flooding with oxygen. For the first time, we felt secure in discussing our marriage, and safe with opening up about ourselves. Have you ever watched one of those TV shows that always seems to have a harmonious ending? Conflict is resolved, and although you know theres more for the characters to explore on the next episode, you get the sense that theyre safe during that pause. Thats what leaving our sessions with Brad resembled. We walked through the wasteland of our marriage, but we always came out, holding each others hand a little tighter. We found in each other not a difference, but a similarity. Our fears, weaknesses, hopes, dreams, hurts, love, they were not different. We were not different. We were more alike in ways we simply could not see.Its December 31st, New Years Eve. As we write this, were resolved that the true credit to the healing of our marriage was the incredible work of Brad Robinson and the people at Marriage Solutions. His insight into the foundations of a successful marriage and wisdom to seek healing, not just of the union of you and your spouse, but of the individual, has left us in a place of renewed confidence. We never thought we would be here, it simply was not meant for us. We were different. But we will now testify that we were wrong, and how great it feels to say that. Thank You Brad, Thank You Marriage Solutions. We wouldnt be here without you.-Schuyler and Katy

Brad,I want to sincerely thank you for your advice and for the book information on how to stop my divorce. I honestly thought (and was told countless times by my husband, as you saw in counseling), that there was no hope. My husband had started dating a girl somewhat seriously and had moved on because I had hurt him too many times. I was devasted, to say the least, because I had finally realized that the grass was not greener by divorcing, and that I wanted my husband and family back. I had done all the wrong things to get him back: begged, pleaded, said Id change, etc. and that had only pushed him further and further away. The moment we walked out your door, I quickly read the book youd recommended and began following it like my life depended on it (because it did). Well, it worked. It took a few weeks, but things slowly started to turn around, and we are now back together, living together, and have withdrawn the divorce. Our marriage has never been stronger, honestly. We both have changed drastically since the separation, and we have a new and revitalized relationship. I cannot thank you enough. What you did for me, for us, has forever impacted our lives and our childrens lives.Sincerest thanks,Katherine

If you are considering marriage counseling I would not hesitate any longer. Marriage solutions has been a God send. Brad has given us a chance to save our marriage and come to a place of true healing and restoration. I cannot say enough positive things about Brad. Something that places him above many other therapists is his true passion, dedication and knowledge of what he is doing. He provided us with the tools, information and hope that we needed to pass through the storm. Brad is very experienced at what he does and has the ability to handle very intense, traumatic situations between couples. I encourage every couple who is lost, discontent, hopeless, frustrated or on the verge of giving up to seek the help and wisdom of Brad. It has changed my life and marriage in ways I never dreamed possible. We are forever grateful to you Brad. Thank you everything.

Marriage Solutions saved my marriage. My husband agreed to meet me at Brad’s office to say his peace and give me divorce papers. He agreed to come to a few sessions after the first one because Brad is amazing....EFT marriage counseling method is amazing too. The EFT for dummies book Brad recommended helped take a step back to understand why and how we were fighting in top level terms. It helped my husband and I be able to communicate how we felt.I learned that if you looked inward and focused on fixing yourself it goes a long way in helping mend your relationship with your husband. He was able to see I am flawed and imperfect and he learned to let his guard down from past hurts and heal with me.EFT therapy and specifically Brad helped me learn to let my wall I built up down and let me husband back in and be vulnerable. It was scary and hard most of the time because Brad had my husband and I dig deep and talk about the primary vulnerable feelings that were beneath all the anger. Going through that to get at the fears my husband and I had and the sadness and pain, it drew us closer and we could start to see how much we still loved each other. Brad helped us understand the root of our fighting and how to work through it.Brad validated each of our feelings and got us to really talk and hear one another. He was able to translate my fears I communicated in a brash and direct way sometimes into a soft and gentle way to my husband. Allowing my husband to understand my perspective of arguments and vice versa for my husband.I learned through marriage counseling that to be successful it takes a good dedicated therapist, it takes EFT therapy, it takes a willingness to work on your own faults, and a willingness to really listen to how your spouse feels.If you are on the fence about marriage counseling or even if your spouse will even go...I personally am happy I tried it and gave it my everything to save my marriage. After some sessions I didn’t know if we would make it. I read the all the books Brad recommended to help navigate through unresolved childhood issues I had and really worked on myself and learned how to be vulnerable and communicate my feelings to my husband. In those low moments where I would cry myself to sleep alone thinking we wouldn’t make it, I had faith that if I gave this my all maybe my husband would come around and really work on our marriage. He even told me that him seeing all the personal growth I have done and how I don’t get defensive when he shares his raw feelings about arguments and fights we had and how I made him feel, he started to think maybe this marriage counseling could save us. He started to show growth himself. Soon enough we were turning every rock and boulder and pebble over making sure we worked through everything we could with Brad. Brad would give us homework and tasked us with specific topics to discuss or activities to do.Brad was dedicated to help us mend and my husband and I are now closer than we ever were before. If you asked me the first day my husband agreed to meet me in Brad’s office to say his peace that we would be together now, I would have said no because he gave me divorce papers. I thought it was too late. I would have never been able to imagine the journey we have gone through. You just have to show up to Marriage Solutions with Brad and try. He will help guide you in how to start down the path of repairing your marriage.My husband and I are so grateful to have had Brad as our EFT Marriage Counselor to get us to talk again, live together again, and love each other again!Brad Robinson and the staff at Marriage Counseling have huge caring hearts and are dedicated in helping you and your spouse through your issues however big or small they are. If you have a heart attack and need surgery you want the best heart surgeon to help fix your heart. Well if you have relationship problems and need help to repair it, you want the best Marriage Counseling and that’s Marriage Solutions, that’s Brad Robinson!-Sarah

When I thought my marriage was unsalvageable, Brad offered a safe, comforting place to work on some very tough issues with my husband. His demeanor puts you at ease immediately, and his approach to counseling is pro-marriage and non-judgmental. My husband and I were anxious before our first appointment because we had tried counseling before. My husband was looking for someone to tell me that our marriage was over and that I should move on. I was looking for someone to tell him that our marriage was worth saving and that we could overcome the trauma in our lives. That first session went well, but the second appointment was life-changing. In between we watched some of Brad & Morgans podcasts, and these helped us make some great strides on our own between the sessions. The podcasts allowed us to focus on what we needed the most at our second session. Our marriage is still a work in progress, but with the resources we now have and with more relationship work facilitated by Brad, I believe our best marriage years are ahead of us.

This review is long overdue. It can be hard to put words with 5 stars. After 11 years of marriage we came to Brad Robinson for help and healing in our marriage. Trust had been broken, we had become roommates, and life turned very bad in one weekend after the truth was brought to light about what was really going on. Brad arranged for us to be seen Monday morning after a very hard weekend. We emailed them on a Sunday, late afternoon, had an appointment Monday morning. All I can say was that there was peace, comfort, and support in our sessions. I was able to breathe when we were there. After many sessions, I can be strong willed so I didnt want to open up too quickly and needed time, we started to unravel years of hurts that were there but pushed away. We can now communicate openly and affectively, we notice little things now that in the past would have turned into big things unnessisarily. My husband has learned to talk, acknowledge his emotions and share them, to see the family as a whole, etc.. Theres so much that I am thankful for. We saw a counselor, one that was cheaper and I am now a firm believer of the saying you get what you pay for, a year before coming to Brad and it did nothing for our marriage. That counselor wasnt able to see the addiction my husband had, the disinterest he had for our marriage and family, and the workaholic mindset amongst other things, and the hurt continued. Brad was able to see and heal our marriage. I cant say enough about how great they are. You cant put a price on your marriage, your family, your mental health, the list goes on. Please, if you take anything away from this review, do not look at cost when looking for a marriage counselor, your family and marriage is priceless. Thank you Brad and Morgan for all you have done and continue to do. We are looking forward to 14 years of marriage this fall. The past couple years have been the best we have had!!

My husband and I have been married almost 8 years and have had a LOT of difficult life events thrown our way over the last 3 or 4 years. One day I decided that “tomorrow” I was going to file for divorce – this decision having been made after our second separation and multiple screaming matches. For whatever reason, I started googling marriage counselors and came across Marriage Solutions in Tulsa. I decided it was worth a try, and my husband agreed to go.We met with a guy named Daniel. We did three hour sessions once a week for a total of 18 hours (6 weeks), and I swear to you my husband and I are happier and closer now than we were before we even got married. Daniel helped us save our marriage. It was hard, and some of the exercises were awkward and uncomfortable for me (I am not a “show your emotions” kind of girl), but Daniel was very patient, kind, and guided us every step of the way. He didn’t “fix” us, he taught us how to “fix” ourselves so we could use what we learned in counseling long after counseling was over – that is what made our journey worth the investment.Just a few of the problems Daniel helped us with:Lack of communication, lack of bonding, deep-rooted trust issues, addictions, medical illnesses, depression, anxiety, control issues, overcoming past traumas, parenting disagreements, new family additions, and dealing with the new life roles we had found ourselves in - and seriously, those are just a few.Answers to some fears you might have (because I had them too!):Fear one of us wouldn’t open up: Somehow or another, Daniel made both of us feel safe and comfortable enough to share our truest feelings.Fear that a male counselor would just agree with my husband and I would feel alone: Daniel never took sides, and my husband and I always had an opportunity to share and respond.Fear of the cost: Marriage Solutions is very upfront about all costs and offer multiple packages. They never charged my credit card for anything that wasn’t previously discussed, and, as I stated earlier, we gained tools we can use forever.Fear that counseling won’t work: Daniel told us up front that if he didn’t think he could help us, he would tell us. However, I truly believe if you just let go and use the tools they give you, you cannot fail.What you need to do:CALL THEM NOW!Listen without judgement or interruptionDon’t be on the defensiveBe 100% honestWork the program

My marriage started to break down several years ago. I asked for a divorce 2 weeks before my anniversary summer of 2012. January 2013 we started counseling with Brad at Marriage Solutions. I was hesitant yet excited. My husband was not excited at all but was willing to try. Long story short, my marriage has been transformed with the help we recieved from Marriage Solutions. Brad was very nurturing and caring with us and specific to make it clear that his goal was to make sure we both felt that our emotions were heard and validated and that we both felt safe to talk about anything. I have enjoyed my experience very much and couldnt be happier with our results. I now tell everyone weather you disagree about what to buy for christmas or have delt with betrayal, counseling is an amazing help for any marriage! Brad and his wonderful staff do a fantastic job making you feel welcomed and it is clear that they have your best intrest at heart.Thanks Brad!!! You helped heal my marriage in a way I never would have been able to!! :)
