Along with the memory of re-connecting and the knowledge that “we can do this,” you will take home a box set of cards, tools, and tips to support your relationship in your everyday lives.

The Workshop Program

In a word: Science! The curriculum is developed from 40 years of research with more than 3,000 couples. It's grounded on what actually works in relationships that are happy and stable, not idealistic notions or anecdotal evidence of what relationships ought to be.

This workshop is designed for ALL couples in a committed relationship. 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 Gottman trained therapists are available to support one-on-one during exercises.

As a result of the workshop, you will learn how to:

Gain insight on how to foster respect, affection, and closeness; build and share a deeper connection with each other; keep conflict discussions calm, break through and resolve conflict gridlock; and strengthen and maintain the gains in your relationship.

  • Learn to recognize the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse and what to do if they are attacking your relationship

  • Identify your relationship’s specific strengths and how to build on them
