Couples Workshop, Nov. 21-22

Experience “The Art and Science of Love” at our weekend workshop for couples using the curriculum developed by Drs. John and Julie Gottman. See why millions of couples worldwide have benefited from the Gottman Method.

About this Workshop:

•  2 days (Fri. evening & Sat. morning) filled with engaging presentations and experiential activities designed to confirm, strengthen, or restore your love.

•  It’s designed for ALL couples in a committed relationship. You do not need to be married.

•  If you have a strong relationship, this workshop will provide you with insights and tools to foster further closeness, friendship, and trust. If your relationship is distressed, this two-day workshop will provide you with a greater understanding of your relationship and a road map for repair.

•  No public discussion or disclosure is involved. All work is done as a couple, and a Gottman-trained facilitator is available for support during exercises.

•  This educational workshop may not be appropriate for couples dealing with addiction, domestic violence, or other serious relationship issues. In those situations, we recommend seeking counseling with a Gottman-trained therapist.

•  This workshop nationally has produced positive results for 84% of those who attend.

•  It’s taught by our very own Gottman-trained staff member, Pam Larson

The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work curriculum is developed from 40 years of research with more than 3,000 couples in the Love Labs. It’s grounded on what actually works in relationships that are happy and stable, not idealistic notions or anecdotal evidence of what a relationship should be.

This workshop will give you new insights and research-based skills that can dramatically improve the intimacy and friendship in your relationship and help you manage conflict in a healthy, positive way.
