The Seven Principles Program
The Seven Principles Workshop for couples is a 10-hour marriage enrichment program based on the internationally acclaimed research of Dr. John Gottman (four decades worth of research) as presented in his New York Times bestselling book—The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work. This program is specifically designed to help couples improve their friendship and learn powerful communication and conflict management skills.
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. The presenters facilitate a comfortable environment and are both relatable and knowledgeable. Come enjoy a coffee (or tea or water…) together and learn new ways to connect and deepen your understanding and love for each other.
What will we learn?
Research-proven tools to:
-
Make conflict work for your relationship
-
Deepen intimacy and build trust
-
Identify your solvable vs. perpetual issues
-
Strengthen your foundation of friendship
-
Collaborate more effectively to solve problems
-
Communicate clearly and effectively (…and get more of what you want and need as a result!)
