Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work Gottman couples workshop

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 21, 2023

Live in-person in Edmonton , Alberta, Canada

The Seven Principles is a relationship workshop based on the internationally acclaimed research of Dr. John Gottman as presented in his New York Times bestselling book—The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work.  This international workshop has strengthened the relationships of tens of thousands of couples.  It’s specifically designed to help partners improve their friendship and learn meaningful communication and conflict management skills.

The workshop includes lectures, videos and private couples exercises. Couples will not have to share in group.  You will work at your own table, and I will go around and check-in privately for questions and offer guidance/support. The activities are fun, insightful and informative.
