What is The Us Factor?
As soon as you open The Us Factor, you are drawn to get going! It is another product from the producers of the Total Transformation parenting support package, which has become quite popular. I couldn't wait to see if I could get the same results in my marriage as I got in my parenting. And the fact that they start small and get big results was a plus for me because overhauling my marriage from the get go seemed well, overwhelming!
Us Factor Behind the Scenes
The creator of the Us Factor is Dr. Joseph Melnick, a licensed psychologist. Dr. Melnick is a couples and family therapist, organizational consultant and author of numerous articles and book chapters on intimacy, ethics and organizational dynamics.
Dr. Melnick has worked with couples in his private practice for over twenty years. He holds a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from the University of Cincinnati. Currently, he is Co-Chair of the Cape Cod Training Program and a board member of the Gestalt International Study Center. He is Editor-in-Chief of Gestalt Review, a publication that concentrates on the Gestalt approach to clinical, family, group and organizational topics.
The Dollar Investment
The Us Factor is relatively inexpensive, especially if you compare the price to couples counseling (not to say that counseling isnt an excellent route to go - we've been to counseling on and off over the years, and we sincerely believe that without it, we wouldn't still be together. Dr. Melnick also makes it a point to say in the very first DVD that counseling is extremely beneficial). However, many people don't want to go to counseling for a variety of reasons, such as the following:
* It is hard to imagine telling someone they don't know their issues.
* Don't know how they can pay for it.
* They don't have the time.
Us Factor makes all these excuses mute. Why? Because you can use the program at your leisure, in your own home and the cost to get going is only shipping and handling. Once you have tried it for free for a month, it is easy to keep using it for and all you can just pay over a 3 month period.
What do you get for your money?
Us Factor marriage program has:
* Twelve DVD topics
* An accompanying workbook that you can follow along in.
* 800 support access
* A Free Bonus DVD
This is a very nice, professional looking product contained in a book-like folder, that would look great on your bookshelf. Its very well done.
OK, enough about the physical product, what kind of information do you get?
You get a taste of what to expect when you watch the Day One DVD. It seems in line from what I have learned in marriage counseling and that is exciting for me to share because of the good things that counseling has done for my marriage. I have watched the 1st three DVDs and I like what I see and am motivated by the information to want more. I especially like the way Dr. Melnick has the couples sitting knee to knee so they can talk to each other and watch their spouses reactions to their words. This is valuable.
His philosophy comes out right at first - that small changes can make a big difference in your marriage, and that marriage is an ongoing event where you have to practice skills to succeed. The goal of the Us Factor is to teach us those skills. He gives an example of a teenager driving a car - you're not just going to give them the keys and say "Go at it!" You're going to teach them the skills they need first, then send them out into the world. Marriage is the same way. All too often, we get into marriage because of love, then when the love fades, we don't have the skills to keep it going. These skills are what were going to learn from Dr. Melnick.
Dr. Melnick says that love is like driving the car from Maine to California. Fun, don't notice any problems and you are there! However, the return trip is not so smooth, potholes, deer in the road, in-laws. And now is when those skills are sorely needed.
So far, everything I have seen in the Us Factor leads me to suggest this marriage counseling program as a good one. It coincides with some of the things I have learned in counseling, doesn't contradict anything, and actually adds to it in other areas.
