Are you stuck in the same arguments that never seem to get resolved?
Or maybe your relationship is strong, and you simply want to make it even better?
Based on The New York Times best seller The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work by Dr. John Gottman and Nan Silver, this live, virtual workshop is designed for all couples, whether you’re dating, engaged, or married.
Grounded in over 40 years of research with more than 3,000 couples, this workshop focuses on what really makes relationships happy and lasting. It has been offered throughout the world, helping tens of thousands of couples strengthen their connection and improve how they communicate and manage conflict.
Through a blend of lectures, demonstrations, videos, and private couple exercises, you’ll gain practical tools to deepen friendship, build trust, and enhance intimacy.

Whether you’re looking to deepen your intimacy, navigate conflict with more grace, or simply rediscover the joy in your partnership, this workshop gives you the practical tools to build a relationship that stands the test of time. Invest in your most important connection today and turn the science of love into your daily reality.
What You’ll Learn: The Seven Principles
Build Your "Love Map": Discover how to truly know your partner’s world—their history, their worries, and their dreams—so you can stay connected even as life changes.
Nurture Fondness and Admiration: Learn how to build a "reservoir of positivity" by focusing on what you appreciate about each other, creating a powerful buffer against conflict.
Turn Toward Each Other: Master the art of the "bid for connection." Find out how the small, daily moments of attention and kindness are more important than big romantic gestures.
Let Your Partner Influence You: Explore the power of shared decision-making and mutual respect, and why "accepting influence" is a key predictor of a long-lasting marriage.
Solve Your Solvable Problems: Get practical techniques for conflict management, including how to start conversations gently and how to use "repair attempts" to de-escalate tension.
Overcome Gridlock: Learn how to navigate the "perpetual" disagreements that every couple has by identifying the hidden dreams and values behind your most stubborn conflicts.
Create Shared Meaning: Go beyond just "getting along" to building a shared life culture filled with rituals, goals, and a deep sense of "us."
