What People Think About Gottman Workshops

The workshop was a great start for us to spark the desire to make things better in our relationship. It also reminded us that you have to ‘give to get’ like in any relationship. Loved the way the workshop is spread out over a 5 -week period. It helps us to work on the skills we learned during the week between each session.
Jay and Trina H.
I’d recommend this workshop because it resets the problems of the moment back to a place where you feel cared for one by one another. We didn’t realize how much the homework helped and how important it was until after the 1st session. Scheduling time for homework before and after was what we learned and that helped cement each weekly lesson.
Karl and Lindsay A.
Love the format of this workshop. To be able to participate from home works best with our busy lives. Learning the material and practicing the tools in between the sessions made it more natural for us to apply and reinforce what we learned. Terri was great in the break out rooms and each week made challenging information fun to learn and understand.
Monica and Tim W.
Our marriage benefited greatly from the workshop. We really liked the breakout sessions and having the opportunity to have one on one conversations about what we were working on with the counselor. We also liked the evidence based approach and doing a deep dive into the Gottman method. We appreciated the handouts and the packet that came along with the workshop and still to this day, return to some of those exercises to continue strengthening our marriage. We’d highly recommend it to any couple looking to strengthen their marriage.

FAQ's About Workshop

The Art and Science of Love has been shown to achieve results similar to those of 6 months of marital therapy and 94% of previous workshop attendees have reported positive results after attending this groundbreaking weekend workshop.
Couples of all ages, incomes, races, nationalities, professions, religions, abilities, and orientations attend our workshops. Couples attend who already have a strong, healthy relationship, and couples attend to repair relationship damage and get back on track. Parents sometimes attend who have decided to end their relationship but want to do so in a way that doesn’t negatively impact their children, and receive skills to become healthy co-parents moving forward. We welcome all couples who want to work on making their relationship stronger.

We strongly encourage all couples in committed relationships to attend, whether you are dating, engaged and seeking premarital preparation, not married and living together, or committed to a potentially life-long relationship but don’t plan to get married—this workshop is for you!

Yes. We strongly encourage attending our workshop as premarital preparation.

The cost and the dates for the early registration discount can be found on the registration page.

Sorry, no. Our workshops are specifically designed to be interactive and experiential for couples only.

We believe that it is important for all individuals to learn the basics of how relationships work based on our scientific research. Many individuals have found that a good place to start is by sharing some of the research on our website with their partners. We have videos of Dr. John Gottman covering our concepts of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse (with Anderson Cooper), the Magic Relationship Ratio, and Making Marriage Work, all of which introduce the most important concepts that Drs. John and Julie Gottman will present at the Art and Science of Love workshop. You can also visit the Gottman Relationship Blog for more information on our methods, and you can look through our Research Overview page. For a preview of the kinds of exercises you’ll do at the workshop, you can download our free Gottman Card Decks app.
Yes. Couples who attend our workshop tend to fall into two categories: enhancement and repair. We applaud couples who are wise enough to attend the workshop for enhancement purposes. Our brains are more open to new learning when we are not stressed out, and our workshop is designed with plenty of humor and romance, so enhancement couples have a terrific time while learning. Feedback from both enhancement and repair couples indicates that the couples workshop is very beneficial.
There are no prerequisites to attending a couples workshop. The workshop is self-contained and is appropriate even if you’ve never heard of Dr. John Gottman and his work. Some find it helpful to peruse the information and videos on our website, but even this is not required.
