Marriage and Couples Workshop
Committed Partners, Engaged Couples,
Newlyweds, or Married 30 years
Married or Committed Partners – You are in it each day…
Couples can find themselves on a rocky road, feeling emotionally distant, resentful, arguing, or not talking at all.
Let’s get on the Road to Recovery! Let’s build that closeness, create shared meaning, and improve communication with practical skills for everyday life together…. Attend our couples workshop and learn The Gottman-based research of 30-plus years of what makes a marriage work to develop skills to last a lifetime.
Engaged Couples – You both said, ‘Yes,’ and you have the dress!
Now let’s get you prepared for after the big day! You’ve registered for the wine glasses and dinner plates…. Now register for a Successful Happily Ever After!
Happily married?
…is the answer we all would like to say when describing our relationship. If you are fortunate enough to answer yes to being in a happy marriage, than join us to dig deeper and strengthen your emotional bond
This is a Psycho-Educational Workshop…
This is not group therapy! This is a Fun and Engaging Workshop which allows couples to develop deeper meaning and understanding of their shared life.
Our classroom is set as café style and allows space for couples to comfortably talk, laugh, and work together – and does not require any group sharing.
Research shows that on average couples wait six years from the first sign of problems before they seek help. 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.
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
- Break through and resolve conflict gridlock
- Strengthen and maintain the gains in your relationship
MARRIAGE WORKSHOP DETAILS:
This program is based upon the New York Times best seller, 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 provide you with insights and tools to make it even better. If your relationship is distressed, this class will provide a road map for repair.
IS THIS COUPLES WORKSHOP FOR US?*
The Gottman Seven Principles Program is designed for all couples in a committed relationship, including:

If you just want to sit back, learn, and participate in the private exercises with your partner, you are more than welcome to do so.
