What You Will Learn in Our Relationship Workshops:

The Seven Principles Program 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.

This class combines teaching and demonstrations with one-on-one work sessions where you and your partner focus on your relationship with each other. Confidentiality is strictly maintained. Although we encourage questions and comments, you do not need to speak in the workshop if you do not want to.

You Will Learn How To:

• Foster respect, affection, and closeness
• Build and share a deeper connection with each other’s inner world
• Keep conflict discussions calm
• Breakthrough and resolve conflict gridlock
• Strengthen and maintain the gains in your relationship

Marriage Workshop Details:

• This program is based upon the New York Times bestseller The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work by Dr. John Gottman, Ph.D.
• Straightforward in its approach yet profound in its effect, the principles outlined in Dr. Gottman’s groundbreaking book teach partners new and startling strategies for making their relationships work.
• 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 class is designed to strengthen your marriage or committed relationship. If you already have a strong relationship, this class will give you insights and tools to make it even better. If your relationship is distressed, this class will provide a road map for repair.
• Research shows that, on average, couples wait six years from the first sign of problems before they seek help. That’s like waiting six years with cancer before seeking medical care. Please don’t wait until your relationship is falling apart to get help. Be proactive and learn what decades of research teach us about healthy relationships.

Is This Couples Workshop for Us?

• Married couples
• Pre-engaged couples (those considering marriage)
• Engaged or Premarital couples (those taking steps toward marriage)
• Every phase of relationships, from newlyweds to senior couples
• Those who wish to enhance an already “good” marriage or relationship
• Those needing better conflict management tools
• Those considering couples therapy but who are not “ready” for weekly therapy yet

*If you are dealing with emotional abuse, domestic violence, unwanted touch, or substance abuse, this class is not appropriate, and you should instead seek individual or couples therapy.
