Gottman 7 Principles Couples Workshop
Rekindle Your Connection with the 7 Principles Workshop
Life has a way of pulling couples in different directions. Whether it’s the stress of work, managing daily responsibilities, or navigating life’s inevitable challenges, the connection that once felt effortless can start to feel strained. Maybe you’ve become more like roommates than partners, communicating only about logistics or avoiding tough conversations altogether.
But deep down, you know your relationship is worth fighting for. You miss the closeness, the laughter, and the ease of just being together. The good news? It’s never too late to rewrite your relationship story.

Led by a certified Gottman Workshop Leader and based on Dr. John Gottman’s decades of relationship research, this engaging, interactive workshop offers proven tools to strengthen your bond, improve communication, and bring joy back into your partnership.
