Who should sign up for a Gottman Couples Workshop?

The "Art and Science of Love" workshops, based on Gottman Method Couples Therapy, are designed for couples at various stages of their relationship. These workshops are typically open to all couples, whether they are in a new relationship, engaged, married, or facing challenges in their partnership. The workshops aim to provide valuable insights, skills, and tools for strengthening and enhancing relationships. Here's a breakdown of who may benefit from attending:

1. New Couples or Pre-Marital Couples

   • Couples who are in the early stages of their relationship or considering marriage can benefit from gaining foundational skills for effective communication, conflict resolution, and understanding each other's needs.

2. Engaged Couples

   • Those planning to get married can use the workshop to build a strong foundation for their marriage, addressing potential challenges and learning how to nurture a healthy relationship.

3. Married Couples

   • Married couples, regardless of the number of years they have been together, can attend to strengthen their bond, rekindle romance, and address any issues or communication patterns that may be negatively impacting their relationship.

4. Couples Facing Challenges

   • Couples experiencing difficulties or challenges in their relationship, such as communication issues, conflicts, or emotional distance, can benefit from the practical tools and interventions offered in the workshop.

5. Couples Seeking Relationship Enhancement

   • Even couples with generally healthy relationships can attend to enhance their connection, deepen intimacy, and learn advanced skills for maintaining a strong and lasting partnership.

It's important to note that the "Art and Science of Love" workshops are educational and skill-building in nature, rather than therapeutic. While they may provide valuable insights, couples with severe relationship issues or individual mental health concerns may find it beneficial to seek additional professional counseling or therapy.

Couples of all backgrounds and orientations are typically welcome at these workshops. It's recommended that both partners attend together to maximize the benefits of the program.
