7 Principles for Making Marriage Work
Great relationships don't just build themselves and problems don't just go away. They take intentionality, motivation, and effort.
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.
This educational workshop has been offered across the US and internationally, and has strengthened the relationships of tens of thousands of couples.
It’s specifically designed to help couples improve their friendship and learn powerful communication and conflict management skills.
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.
The workshop includes lectures, demonstrations, videos, and private couples exercises. The activities are fun, insightful, and informative. And 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.
You will learn how to:
- Build and share a deeper connection with each other's inner world
- Deepen intimacy and build trust
- Learn skills to manage conflict
- Communicate clearly and effectively so you can actually be heard
