The Gottman 7 Principles for Making Marriage Work
Marriage is hard…Divorce is harder!
Marriage can be tough. It takes work, patience, and love to keep a relationship strong. Sometimes, things get so hard that couples think about divorce.
But divorce is not easy either. It brings a lot of pain and stress, not just for the couple but for their families too. Starting over can be even harder than fixing the problems in your marriage.
That's where the Gottman 7 Principles of Marriage workshop can help. Based on years of research by Dr. John Gottman, this workshop gives couples simple tools to improve their relationship. You'll learn how to communicate better, solve problems together, and build a stronger bond.
By putting these principles into practice, you can overcome the tough times and create a happy, lasting marriage.
The Gottman Seven Principles Workshop draws from the acclaimed book, "The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work," a New York Times Bestseller. This workshop is built on the innovative research of Dr. John Gottman and Nan Silver, revealing the core principles that sustain healthy relationships. With insights gathered from over four decades of research and the experiences of 3,000 couples, this program offers practical skills and strategies for couples aiming to strengthen their bond and ensure long-lasting happiness.
