About my guest

Max Rivers is the lead mediator at TheMarriageMediator.net where he pioneered using mediation to save marriages instead of to assist in divorce. He has developed a six-session process to help couples learn how to use NVC, Nonviolent Communication to navigate their difficult conversations. He is available at his office in Philadelphia, or worldwide over video conferencing. He is the author of a book about his work with couples called, "Tired of Having the Same Old Argument?" available online at MaxRivers.net.
