Testimonials

Couple 1: “When we came to Blaine, we had lost the trust in each other due to my wife secretly gambling and running up more than $60,000 in debt.  Our marriage almost fell apart and there was a lot of pain and distance between us.  After working with Blaine, we connected to our original love for each other and came up with short term and long term financial plans.  By working things out using his methods, we saved additional tens of thousands of dollars and our marriage became much closer and more transparent.  I’m grateful for having Blaine as a resource.”

Couple 2: “When we first started seeing Blaine, I was unemployed which put a lot of stress on our marriage…this led to anger and a lot of arguments.  Finally my wife filed for divorce.  However, with Blaine we learned healthy communication and conflict resolution tools and have been able to put our marriage back together.  Plus I got a new job, which my wife totally supports, and I am making more money than before.  If we had not worked things out, with Blaine’s help, we would both have lost tens of thousands of dollars in legal fees and more in unhealthy spending.  I’m glad we got to Blaine in time.”
