Over the years BSM has helped many couples in strengthening their marriages.

Some of these couples would like to share their experiences; you may wish to browse the testimonies by using the menu on the left.

Edward and Betty Chiang (married for more 30 years)

….As the adage goes: "Don't rush into Marriage". This is so true, as it is a life long commitment. So, take time to prepare for your marriage....take it from someone who has been married for 30 years. ….. I would strongly recommend Building Strong Marriages (BSM) as part of your preparation for two solid reasons: 1) It is a very comprehensive program; and 2) you may not find another trainer who is more committed and passionate about your marriage than BSM's founders, Steven and Cynthia.

Lyonel and Mary (married with 3 kids)

BSM has taught us how to communicate effectively. It also taught us how to resolve conflicts that has been buried deep in our hearts for many years. We have learnt in a fun way that our family of origin plays a big part in who we are and begin to discover how to understand and accommodate one another. There are many, many more methods or lessons like, do not press your spouse’s hot button, money matters, physical intimacy etc……BSM has really spruce up our marriage and we actually found ourselves 10 years younger, as if we are back to our dating stage. There is so much love in the family now and life is absolutely great……Just like driving; we need to attend lessons and practice before we obtain our license. Otherwise, we put other’s life in danger. BSM is the license to marriage….. Otherwise, we will be ruining or hurting another person’s life……

Alvin & Jiun lee

…Through this course we learned that marriage is about partnership, and that it must precede parenthood. A man is a husband first, father second, businessman third. A woman is a wife first, mother second and career third. We totally agree on this part, because our spouse is the one that we are going to spent the rest of the life together and not our kids or career. So, building up a strong relationship with our spouse before we reach the stage of what is known as an “empty nest …..…this course isn’t really about making miracles happen for a couple, but it is to equip them with the tools, and the proper methods to pin point and resolves problems. And by having a better understanding of your spouse, a couple is then able to create the miracles for their marriage themselves. Constant work and effort is still required on the couples’ part to make their marriage a beautiful one. But without being equipped with the right tools and knowledge, your journey with your spouse will simply be a more difficult one. Since we have decided to take our spouse along with us through this journey we call “life”, why not make this journey an enjoyable and beautiful one.

Clement & Clare

….Thinking back, I really wished we had attended BSM earlier. Yes, we may have been married for over 20 years, yet we found BSM to be so beneficial.
The course allowed us to face up to issues in our marriage that we knew existed but for various reasons, we either ignored or swept under the proverbial carpet. It was a big carpet. Armed with that knowledge or you may even say reminder, it enabled us to start chipping away at the issues and strengthen our marriage.
BSM has taught us that time and commitment is very important for a marriage to work and last a lifetime. And one thing we put in place very recently was a holiday together (Our FIRST, without the children!!).

Jason and Joyce

To be able to walk the rest of your journey in life with your partner, needs more than just being lovey-dovey or simply bringing the bacon back home. It is about learning the art of communication, resolving conflicts, understanding the basic needs of a man and woman…… Also, how each other’s family of origin could determine or influence some of our behaviours in adulthood. Knowing what hot buttons mean and how they could have developed from…… all these are the many useful take-aways from the BSM course. …

Bride and Groom-to-be

I thought since we're planning for our marriage next year, it might be useful.
Only until we took the course, do we realize that there are so many factors could affect a marriage. Attending the course gives us a better perspective of what is ahead of us, and we're now better prepared with our newly equipped knowledge.
BSM has given me the opportunity to know more about myself and improve my communication with my hubby-to-be. Learning the skill to be assertive and to actively listen allow me to make conscious effort when putting my words across properly and tactfully.
We also learn that building a relationship requires us to know how to build it correctly.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the trainers/facilitators who gave unconditionally and have given us their precious time to better our marriage.

Chee Keong & Lynn

This is a course that was highly recommended to us by two couple-friends who had also benefited from the course.
The course has provided us with numerous tools for building a stronger marriage.
One of the best we learned is the importance of Building Intimacy in Communication. Through this course, both of us have learnt more about each other and acquire the skills to take on futures challenges together. We like to thank our instructors and organizers, for giving up their precious weekend time to conduct the classes. Finally, we like to say although this course is not a miracle “pill” in itself; it has definitely brought us to another level of understanding in our relationship.

Chin Leng & Amelia

We benefited much in appreciating the importance of communication in relationship & the willingness as a couple to work out our marriage problems together.
We are learning to make effort to set aside time to communicate so as to bring more intimacy to our relationship.

Newly wed couple

I have some issues with my own marriage and many questions began to sprout wildly. Sometimes I question the decision on getting married and sometimes I wonder how I can stay married without having to quarrel over most trivial matters.
The participating couples in BSM workshop has given me some answers to what my husband always termed as “weird thoughts”.
Not only did their presence and commitment to the workshop provided me with learning points, the sense of humor, the willingness to share, and the fact that everyone is facing issues just like me and my hubby!
Thank goodness I am not alone and we have very dedicated trainers. I am touched by the effort each and every trainer made during the lesson and I “opened” my ears attentively in search for the answers.
Thank you all for holding the passion to build strong marriages. Perhaps, good answer lies with a group of good company.
