If you have a strong relationship, this workshop will provide you with insights and tools to make it a great one. If your relationship is distressed, this two-day workshop will provide a road map for repair. There is no public disclosure. All of the exercises are done with your partner. Appropriate for ALL couples in committed relationships.

Designed by Drs. John and Julie Gottman. The workshop is based on Dr. John Gottman's leading edge research involving over 3,000 couples and on his best-selling book, The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work.

What couples are saying:

"The Workshop was a positive jolt to our relationship that we really needed... We had tried couples counseling, but hadn't got what we needed."

"My partner and I were able to create a plan around a conflict we've repeatedly argued over for over 10 years!"

"Working through exercises knowing that 1 to 1 coaching was available really made a difference."

"Highlights were the Aftermath of a Fight exercise and finding the underlying dream in a gridlocked problem."
