Info About the Couples Workshop:

Our Seven Principles Workshop for Couples will give you new insights and research-based relationship skills that can dramatically improve the intimacy and friendship in your relationship and help you resolve conflict in a healthy, productive way.

For over 30 years Dr. Gottman scientifically analyzed the habits of married couples and established a method of correcting the behaviors that put thousands of marriages on the rocks. He helps couples focus on each other and the small day-to-day moments that, strung together, make up the heart and soul of any relationship.

This workshop includes lectures and demonstrations with one-on-one work sessions where you and your partner focus on your relationship with each other privately. There is NO obligation to share or participate in the group. Confidentiality is strictly maintained.
