About the Workshop:

This workshop is designed to strengthen your marriage and friendship with your spouse while providing tools to help enhance romance and intimacy, manage conflict constructively, gain skills to work through solvable and perpetual problems, create shared meaning, and maintain gains throughout a lifetime together. If you are experiencing ineffective patterns of communication and conflict, this workshop will provide you a roadmap for how to repair. This workshop is not therapeutic in nature and therefore minimal sharing is required. In fact, you do not have to share at all to get the full benefit of this workshop. Throughout the workshop, we will take breaks to allow for designated time to work on the skills with just your spouse. We will discuss what worked and what didn’t when practicing the skill but no additional details of situations will be shared.

This workshop is based on the internationally acclaimed research of Dr. John Gottman and goes through his book The Seven Principles of Making Marriage Work.

This retreat is for all couples (pre-marital, newlywed, and long-term marriages). This workshop is for marriage enrichment, meaning you can be married 2 years or 42 years and still benefit from the practical tools provided.

This workshop is not for marriages in crisis, recovering from an affair, in severe relationship distress or marriages that have active addiction with one or both spouses or domestic violence of any kind (physical, emotional, verbal, sexual). All couples will be screened to ensure the retreat is a good fit.
