The Seven Principles Workshop is based on the work of the nation's leading marriage researcher, Dr. John Gottman. With over 40 years of research, Dr. Gottman has learned what can predict the success or failure of a marriage with 91% accuracy. The workshop will teach practical skills that you can immediately apply in your marriage. Whether you need to repair a struggling marriage, or strengthen a great marriage, this workshop is for you.
Bringing Baby Home Workshop
Even the strongest relationships are strained during the transition to parenthood. Lack of sleep, never-ending housework and new fiscal concerns can lead to profound stress and a decline in marital satisfaction – all of which affect baby’s care. Not surprisingly, 69% of new parents experience conflict, disappointment and hurt feelings.
Our research-based Bringing Baby Home workshops prepare couples for life with baby and helps them be the best parenting team possible. In a relaxed and supportive environment, parents learn to strengthen their relationship and foster baby’s development during this challenging time. They build on what Dr. Gottman and colleagues found is the best predictor of marital adjustment after baby arrives: the quality of friendship in the marriage.
This workshop combines scientific research and public education to improve the quality of life for babies and children by strengthening their families. It teaches new parents how to gain relationship satisfaction and create healthy social, emotional and intellectual development for their children.
