About Marriage Advice Guide
A secular, non-clinical guide to the conversations married couples actually have — about money, chores, time and closeness — with printable question decks for the evenings when nobody knows what to ask.
Who writes here
Marriage Advice Guide is written and maintained as an anonymous editorial project: no bylines, no invented authors, no borrowed credentials. That is deliberate. The pages here stand on checkable things — named sources, the exact population behind every figure, plain description of behaviour — rather than on a persona telling you what to feel. Where a question needs a professional, the page says so and stops.
How we work
Our process, sourcing rules, and corrections policy are documented in the editorial policy. Every number we publish links to a primary source on the sources page.

What we claim, and what we do not
Both halves matter equally, so both are printed the same size. A limit set out in small print underneath is not a limit.
What we do
- We describe behaviour
- What arrangements, distance and resentment usually look like from inside an ordinary household.
- We name our limits
- Every page that touches a crisis says where it stops and what kind of help belongs there instead.
- We publish no figures
- Nothing on this site carries a percentage or a study count, so there is nothing here whose population you cannot check.
What we are not
- We are not clinicians
- Nobody here holds a licence, and no page is therapy, mediation or legal advice. Where a question needs one of those, the page says so.
- We do not know your spouse
- No article can tell you what another person feels or intends. Anything written in that voice would be invention.
- We do not tell you to stay or go
- That decision holds information no article has. We describe what a pattern is; what to do about it is yours.
Where people usually start
Three pages that answer the three things readers arrive with most often. Each card says how long it takes to read, because that is the first thing anyone wants to know.
