• Have you been feeling that your partner is just a roommate?
• Do you fight about the same thing repeatedly?
• Can you remember the last time you went out on date or just had fun with one another?
• Were you thinking about therapy but not ready for the time or financial commitment?
• Do you have a good relationship that is going through some changes like the birth of a child or children going off to college?
• Is your relationship going well but could use a tune-up?

Then This Couples Workshop is For You!

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.

The Seven Principles Workshop for couples is a two-day marriage workshop based on the internationally acclaimed research of Dr. John Gottman as presented in his New York Times bestselling book— The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work . It's specifically designed to help couples improve their friendship and learn powerful communication and conflict management skills.

The workshop includes lectures, demonstrations, and the opportunity for couples to practice the exercises. The activities are fun, insightful and informative, there is no need to worry about sharing your personal problems in front of others... we don't do any group sharing at this workshop.

What You Will Learn In This Workshop:

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.

Couples will learn and practice research-proven tools:

• Make conflict work for your relationship
• Deepen intimacy and build trust
• Identify your solvable vs. perpetual issues
• Strengthen your foundation of friendship
• Collaborate more effectively to solve problems
• Communicate clearly and effectively (...and get more of what you want and need as a result!)
