The Seven Principles Workshop for Couples is based on the New York Times best seller The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work by Dr. John Gottman, Ph.D., which presents his internationally acclaimed research. Dr. Gottman has spent the last 30 years researching and analysing the habits of married couples. This educational workshop is designed to help couples improve their friendship and conflict management skills. The Seven Principles Workshop is delivered virtually so couples can participate in the learning components and couples’ exercises from the comfort of their own home. Participants will not share personal details with others, this way we can ensure discussion of couple specific issues will remain private from others attending the group couple’s workshop. Any couple wanting to improve their conflict management skills can attend. This workshop would not be suitable for couple’s experiencing difficulties that they wish to work out in these sessions.
