*The Gottman Institute is the world’s premiere researcher of relationships; based upon Dr. Gottman’s four decades of research with thousands of couples, this workshop is designed for couples of every age, ability, and orientation. Research shows that on average, couples wait 2.68 years from the first sign of problems before they seek professional help. Increasingly, couples are proactive and getting the expert guidance they need to set their relationship up for success or fix their problems before they get worse.

Couples who could benefit from this workshop:

The Gottman Seven Principles Program is designed for all couples in a committed relationship, including:

✅ Married couples

✅ Pre-engaged couples (those considering marriage)

✅ Engaged or Premarital couples (those taking steps towards marriage)

✅ Every phase of relationships, from newlyweds to senior couples

✅ Those who wish to enhance an already “good” marriage or relationship

✅ Those needing better conflict management tools

✅ Those considering couples therapy but who are not "ready" for weekly therapy yet

✅ People of all backgrounds, ages, faiths, sexual orientations, and relationship arrangements.

*If you are dealing with emotional abuse, domestic violence, unwanted touch, or substance abuse, this class is probably not appropriate, and I would recommend instead seeking individual and/or couples therapy first.

Benefits of Attending:

  • Learn to strengthen the friendship at the core of your relationship - be best friends with your partner!

  • Learn why nurturing fondness and admiration is paramount to creating a deeper level of trust and intimacy in your relationship

  • Develop conflict management skills, including how to identify your partner’s attempts to connect with you and how to navigate your solvable problems as well as areas of “conflict gridlock”

  • Learn how to accommodate your partner’s needs without feeling that you are sacrificing your own

  • Explore creating a greater sense of meaning in your relationship and developing a “relational legacy.”

  • Learn how the Gottmans can predict divorce/separation with over 90% accuracy and how to safeguard against it - worth the price of the entire workshop!

FAQ’s

  • Absolutely not! All of the exercises are completed privately between you and your partner. During the group discussions, you can share as much or as little as you desire.

  • Since the workshop involves activities designed to be done with your partner, it is important that both partners attend and participate.

  • Your registration fee is non-refundable but transferable. Once registered, if unforeseen circumstances prevent you from attending the 7 Principles Program Class with Will, you will have the opportunity to register for a different workshop within 12 months of the registration date instead. However, if you cancel within 72 hours or fail to show up for the workshop, there will be a $75 transfer fee applied. All classes are enrolled on a first-come, first-serve basis.

  • There are no prerequisites for you to attend. The workshop is self-contained and is appropriate even if you’ve never heard of Drs. John and Julie Gottman’s work.

    At the same time, some couples do choose to read Dr. Gottman’s The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work ahead of time. You can also complete The Gottman Relationship Assessment if you wish to receive an individualized evaluation of your relationship strengths and needs prior to attending. Finally, you will be provided electronic versions of the Couples Guide and the Build Love Maps/Open-Ended Questions Card Decks, but if you would like to have physical copies these can be ordered here.

  • No, this is an educational class ONLY and is not a replacement for relationship therapy. You will learn and practice skills but will not be talking about private moments in your life. If you would like to receive information on Gottman-Method couples therapists in your area, please search here.
