Based on Dr. John Gottman’s five decades of research with thousands of couples, the Art and Science of Love workshop will give you new insights and research-based skills that can dramatically improve intimacy and friendship in your relationship and help you manage conflict in a healthy, positive way.

Workshop Description

Our curriculum is developed from 50 years of research with more than 3,000 couples. It’s grounded on what actually works in relationships that are happy and stable, not idealistic notions or anecdotal evidence of what a relationship should be. On day one, you will learn how to build friendship in your relationship and express feelings of respect and affection. On day two, you will learn how to manage conflict and communicate effectively.

What will I learn?

You and your partner will learn how to foster respect, affection, and closeness in your relationship. You will build and share a deeper connection with each other. You’ll learn how to keep conflict discussions calm, how to break through gridlocked conflict, and how to strengthen and maintain the gains in your relationship.

Other workshop topics include:

• Learn how to recognize the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse and what to do if they are attacking your marriage
• Identify your relationship’s specific strengths and how to build on them together
• Learn about the effects of physiological flooding and how it may affect conflict resolution
• Use the Fondness and Admiration System to renew, respect, and care for one another
• Create an Emotional Bank Account that you can draw upon in times of stress
• Develop your problem-solving skills, including the six skills for effective conflict resolutions

Who is this workshop for?

This workshop is designed for ALL couples in a committed relationship. You do not need to be married. If you have a strong relationship, this workshop will provide you with the insights and tools to foster further closeness, friendship, and trust. If your relationship is distressed, this two-day workshop will provide you with a greater understanding of your relationship and a road map for repair.

 

No public disclosure is involved. All work is done as a couple and I will be available to provide support during exercises. This educational workshop may not be appropriate for couples dealing with addiction, domestic violence, or other serious relationship issues. In those situations, we recommend seeking counseling with a Gottman trained therapist.
