Do you have a hard time communicating with your partner? Do you get stuck arguing in circles about the same issues, finally avoiding talking about them altogether? Are you in a good relationship, but want to make it even better?
The Seven Principles Couples Workshop 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. This program is based upon the New York Times best seller, “The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work” by Dr. John Gottman, Ph.D.
Just like physical exercise requires consistent effort to build muscles, relationships don’t build themselves without daily intentional effort.
Even the best relationships, if regularly neglected, will start to deteriorate.
Take action now and sign up for a couples workshop to learn what you can do to strengthen your relationship!
Seven Principles Workshops are offered in either a one day workshop, or a two day couples retreat.
