The Psychology of Men, Women, and Marriage 

Dr. Debi Smith, PsyD

Effective Marriage Education

Hello. I'm Dr. Debi.

I originally started A Wise Woman's Guide for ... women!

Because I know how much power they have to make a difference. 

An ancient proverbs says, "A Wise Woman builds her house. 
But with her own hands, the foolish one tears hers down.

Then men kept telling me they wanted to learn about love, too. 
So I created The Hero's Journey, not to teach him how to be a man,
but to help him make sense of the woman he loves.

Start here. Study here. Win here.

 

I think about love and marriage quite differently than most Psychologists do. How so?

Well, most relationship coaches, counselors, and therapists totally ignore the reality that men and women are different. 

At best, most offer Standard Fare Help (SFH). As in the emotional equivalent of SAD (Standard American Diet) ... mass-produced bunk that makes men and women settle for much less health and happiness than they could be enjoying.

  • SFH assumes that one person is right (most often they think it's her) and that other person is wrong (most often they think it's him).  
  • SFH never gives you the facts about what works, what doesn't, and why ... in an intimate relationship between a man and a woman. 
  • Instead, SFH keeps you stuck going to ... and paying for ... sessions until you figure it out on your own ... or one of you gives up.

But that's not at all what you went looking for when you reached out for help, was it?

So I teach the Psychology of Men, Women, and Marriage: what works, what doesn't, and why
... all the stuff you deserve to know!

  • No one is openly talking about it, so I created A Wise Woman's Guide.
  • No, I'm not here to tell you what to do.
  • That's up to you. 

Effective Marriage Education (EME) does teach very specific steps you can take to move yourself forward by making your own fully-informed, conscious choices. 

And I always want you to make fully-informed, conscious choices about life and love. 

Because your success matters to me. 

Warmly, 
Dr. Debi, Psych Prof 
A Wise Woman's Guide 

 

Like going to college to earn a degree, EME is a highly structured approach to learning.

But only you know where you and your mate are now in terms of what you are ready for next.

  • So feel free to jump ahead to wherever you think you'd feel most productive!
  • Yes, EME will challenge you, but I also don't want to overwhelm you. 
  • You get to accept this Challenge by Choice!
