Couples Workshop: How to Make Your Relationship Thrive

This workshop is great for couples at any stage in their relationship!

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 before seeking medical care for a health issue. You don't have to wait until your relationship is falling apart to get help.

This workshop is based on decades of data and research regarding relationship satisfaction and follows the outline of the groundbreaking book 7 Principles for Making Marriage Work by Dr. John Gottman.

In this workshop, you will:

• improve relationship friendship, fondness, and admiration

• learn how to manage conflict constructively

• enhance romance and intimacy

• foster respect, affection, and closeness

The Gottman Seven Principles Program is designed for all couples in a committed relationship, including:

• Married couples

• Pre-engaged couples (those considering marriage)

• Engaged or Premarital couples (those taking steps towards marriage)

• Every phase of relationships, from newlyweds to well-seasoned 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

• People of all backgrounds, ages, faiths, sexual orientations, and relationship arrangements

*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.

Confidentiality is strictly maintained. Although I encourage questions and comments, you do not need to share personal information and self-disclosure is never required in the workshop.

This workshop is led by a therapist, but is psycho-educational in nature; this is not couples therapy.
