You won’t be asked to share private details with the group. The focus is on learning tools and practicing together with your partner.

What is the Seven Principles Workshop?The Seven Principles Workshop

The Seven Principles Workshop for couples is based on the internationally acclaimed research of Dr John Gottman PH.D.as presented in his New York Times best-selling book – the Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work.

    • Couples who are engaged, married, or considering committing to each other.

    • Everyone from newlyweds to seniors.

    • Couples who want to enhance an already good relationship.

    • Couples needing better conflict management tools.

  • While it’s suited to many, this workshop is not appropriate for all couples including those with:

    • Severe relationship distress

    • Emotional or Physical abuse

    • Severe mental health problems in one or both partners

    • Addiction (gambling, porn, alcohol and other drug)
