This workshop is designed to strengthen your marriage or relationship. If you have a strong relationship, this workshop will provide you with the insights and tools to make it a great one. If your relationship is distressed, then this two day workshop will provide a road map for repair.

At the workshop couples will learn how to:

• Foster respect, affection, and closeness
  

• Build and share a deeper connection with each other’s inner world
  

• Keep conflict discussions calm
  

• Break through and resolve conflict grid-lock
  

• Strengthen and maintain the gains in your relationship

The Gottman’s research has taught us what really makes marriages work by studying and following over 3000 couples in three decades of research. This workshop is to teach you exactly what successful couples do to foster romance and harmony in their marriages.

During the first day, you will learn how to build fondness, admiration, and closeness in your relationship. On the second day, you’ll work on conflict management while learning new and important communication skills. In this workshop, there will be many humorous stories and role plays. Couples work privately on exercises designed to address the challenges in their real-life relationship. Gottman Therapists are available to support couples one-on-one with exercises. There is no group work or public disclosure

Cancellation Policy: If cancellation is made on or before the EARLY REGISTRATION CUT OFF DATE, a full refund minus a $50.00 processing fee will be given. After the cut-off date, your registration will be converted to a credit, good for a full year that you can use to attend future workshops.
