Couples Consulting

The Seven Principles for Marriage are based upon over 40 years of relationship research and is meant to help couples:

  • Strengthen relationships, including those outside of romantic ones.

  • Better navigate relationship conflict while keeping their connection and friendship.

During the workshop participants have the opportunity to learn and practice the Seven Principles of Making Marriage work by Dr. John Gottman:

The Friendship System

In the Relationship: Viewing your partner (flaws and all) in a positive light.

Example: Knowing they are clumsy, laughing when it happens, and never buying white for them!

The Conflict Management System

In the Relationship: Understanding how to “fight fair,” to better the relationship and deepen connection.

Example: You always seem to fight about the same thing (household chores/in-laws) with no resolution. Ever. Learn to navigate this.

The Shared Meaning System

In the Relationship: Having a shared vision for your future whether 3, 5, or 7+ years from now.

Example: As a couple just living day-by-day, and questioning, “Is this all there is?” Begin to get a clearer picture.
