The Gottman Method
This educational workshop, developed by the Gottman Institute, draws on four decades of renowned research by Dr. John Gottman New York Times bestseller The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work.
For those unfamiliar, Dr. John Gottman is a world-renowned researcher and therapist known for his pioneering work in relationship stability. Dr. Gottman, celebrated as one of the “Top 10 Most Influential Therapists of the Past Quarter-Century,” has received numerous accolades for his groundbreaking research, which includes an impressive ability to predict with 91% accuracy which couples will stay together or divorce. He humorously admits this talent doesn’t make him popular at dinner parties!
Whether you've been married for 30 years, are newly engaged, or find yourself at the “seven-year itch,” this workshop provides practical, evidence-based skills to strengthen your relationship and build lasting connection.

Frequently Asked Questions About The Class
1. What is the cost?
The two-day (4 hours per session) Gottman Couples Workshop, costs $296 ($500 value) per couple.
2. Where is the workshop held?
We are currently offering the Gottman Couples Workshop both online via Zoom and in-person. For in-person events, please refer to the location and dates listed above.
3. Will we have to share our personal problems and issues with the class?
No. The class does not include sharing problems or issues publicly. Couples Exercises are done privately.
4. Must both partners attend or can I come alone?
Since the class involves couples doing exercises together, both partners must participate. If the class is offered over a period of time and one partner must miss a particular class meeting, then the other partner is encouraged to attend the lecture portion of the class. He or she may use the Couples Exercise time to do part of the exercises and then do the full exercise with their partner later. They may also use exercise time to read the Seven Principles book.
5. My partner isn’t a reader. Can we still come to the class if he/she won’t read the book?
Yes, still come to the class. While the book provides very valuable information, the class lectures will summarize the content of the book. Each person will need a Couples Guide, however, to do the Couples Exercises efficiently.
6. Should we do the exercises in the book at home or save them for class?
The class will involve doing some of the exercises from the book so doing them first at home would duplicate some of them. In some cases, the directions for doing the exercises in class have been revised and updated from those presented in the Seven Principles book. The Leaders also role play how to – and how not to – do some of the exercises in order to help participants get the most out of each exercise. There are some exercises in the book that the class will not have time to do, and couples are encouraged to do them at home after that chapter has been covered in class.
