Marriage Fitness

Fertel’s Marriage Fitness program seeks to approach marriage from the perspective of health and wellness rather than through conventional "problem solving" methods. The program has been called “innovative” because of its “unique” step-by-step approach that teaches couples how to “save” their marriage.[3][4]

Writing about the principles covered in Fertel’s Marriage Fitness program, Stephen R. Covey, author of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, said “Marriage Fitness will not only improve your marriage significantly, but I believe you will become a better individual by following its guidelines.”[5]

Media appearances

Fertel’s articles on marriage have appeared in Family Circle, the Christian Post, and Self Growth.[6][7][8] He has been a guest on NBC, CBS, PBS, and the Fox News Network. He is also a frequent guest on talk radio programs including NPR. And his advice on relationships and marriage have appeared in numerous national and regional magazines and newspapers, including Glamour Magazine, Fitness Magazine, Women’s Health, The Library Journal, The Denver Post, The Orlando Sentinel, The Buffalo News, The Baltimore Sun, The Toronto Sun, and the Albany Herald.[2][3][9][10][11][12][13]

Background and education

Fertel is a graduate of the Wharton School and the University of Pennsylvania. He worked on Wall Street, then founded a direct mail advertising company. He later became CEO of an international non-profit organization before founding Marriage Fitness.[3][10]
