Members of this forum are not responsible for others' personal safety. Therefore, self-care and enforcing personal boundaries should be a priority. That includes reporting situations or experiences on the board that are not in line with guidelines and policies. It is the responsibility of all members to keep the board safe.


This forum is a supportive community where everybody is welcome. It is a place to come to be supported or to support others – it is about mutual support and care for one another.

Anyone in need of support for ANY marriage related issues is welcome here.

Building Couples Forum is not a professional therapeutic environment, nor is it a replacement for the need of professional help for your marriage. This site is not intended to offer Professional Counseling.

This forum cannot replace face to face Counseling or Coaching, with a well-informed, empathic counselor or coach, and we encourage all members to seek this type of assistance to obtain this as soon as possible.

We do not offer nor encourage one to one support by personal message (pm) or by e mail. If members do this they will be advised to post on the boards where we can all share the support. We also ask that you do not encourage others to take their problems into private with you. In our experience, when this happens, members often get themselves into situations that they cannot handle - this is why it is best to keep it on the boards where we can moderate and we can all be safe.

If you are suicidal or feel that you are going to self injure, please seek help immediately and, if necessary, contact our Administration.

Please do not make suicide threats or 'goodbye notes' on our boards. If you are suicidal it is important that you contact your doctor or other support in your area immediately. We are not here to deal with suicide crisis as it is not guaranteed there will always be someone here to respond but there are details of help lines and crisis centres here.

We cannot stop you from feeling like you want to die or hurt yourself, but this Forum is not handled for Crisis management.

We do not allow the glorification of self harm, eating dosorders and suicide on this forum.

Please do not encourage self-harm in any way

Please do not share any information on methods to self-harm or any tips, including the best ways/places to self-harm.

This is a place to come to support and be supported and to feel heard, as it relates to Marriage & Relationships.

Please limit use of profanity and use bad language. We do realize that you may sometimes feel the need to SCREAAAAAM - But do not aim or vent your frustration at members or administration. NO PERSONAL ATTACKS.

There is NO need to use Spoilers in words which are "bad" like, sex, abuse (s*x ab*se) BUT please, to consider everyones feelings DO put a *trigger* warning infront of posts which contain upsetting or triggering words or content.

If there ever should be any problems with people who come in here to harm this forum or any other member, or do not adhere to the rules, staff will have to ban them. We hope this will never happen, but if it does staff will first talk to these people in PM and try to resolve things. If that doesn't work we will have to kick them out. Sorry... but safety first.

Any Questions about this forum please DO post them on the forum, that is what it's there for. By sharing questions and answers we learn and support each other. There is a technical support section to do this on.

While the administrators and moderators of this forum will attempt to remove or edit any generally objectionable material as quickly as possible, it is impossible to review every message. Therefore you acknowledge that all posts made to these forums express the views and opinions of the author and not the administrators, moderators or webmaster (except for posts by these people) and hence will not be held liable. If any member should find anything objectionable please inform admin by Private Message or use the 'report' button on the post which reports the post to admin for attention. Also, you may directly email: info@marriagefortoday.com

Do not copy and retransmit any information out of these forums without first getting the written permission of the original author of the message.

Private Mesages (pm's) are just that - private. Please do not publish any pm's sent to you in confidence on the boards.

Confidentiality creates an atmosphere of trust. Therefore, members will maintain confidentiality and will not copy, reprint, or repeat in any way what is written on this board, while in chat, or emails to other communities or outside people.

We reserve the right to edit any and all content that has been placed on this forum, but we will take reasonable endeavours to protect your privacy and respect your posts. We will not edit or otherwise misrepresent what you write without letting you know the reason via Private Message.

When you select a username remember that the forum can be seen by all members - some parts are public. If you wish to post anonymously select a username that will not be known to others. Usernames once chosen cannot be changed.

It is very important that members stay with the poster who started the thread and his/her feelings (unless it is a discussion thread). That means that we are asking members not to steer the poster away towards other subjects especially by adding your own opinions. We ask that you stay with the pain of the poster by listening and hearing what is being said and not bringing your own issues into the thread. For discussions and/or small talk please use the General Chat forum or Discussion Board.

We do not remove any posts or threads on request unless we consider them to be a threat to confidentiality or a direct contriction to these terms therein. Then, on request, we will modify them accordingly.
