The Meaningful Marriage Workshop is an intensive 4-hour retreat that is based on the principles of John Gottman's "Sound Marital House" and the tools to build it.

 

You'll learn how to:

​

• make your spouse your best friend

​

• recognize patterns in marriage, both positive and those that need tweaking

​

• uncover your spouse's hidden hopes and dreams​

​​

• build fondness and admiration

​

• identify both of your individual conflict styles 

​

• avoid the four empirically-based "Marriage Destroyers"  

​

• incorporate six skills of managing conflict & the art of compromise

​​

• apply time-tested Jewish wisdom combined with research-backed evidence

​

Who should attend?​

​

• Couples who are looking for a new spark in their marriage​

​

• Couples in blended families 

​

• Couples going through transition

​

• Couples exploring marriage 

​

 This is a workshop where you and your partner will learn and practice techniques under the guided supervision of trained therapists. This is not a group therapy session where participants share personal information with other couples.  Privacy will be maintained throughout the workshop. Couples will receive a workbook that they will complete and process with their spouse, along with the guidance of the facilitators.

​

This is a closed group, limited to a maximum of 8 participating couples.

​

What is the Gottman approach?

​

The Gottman method to studying and enhancing relationships has been developed from over 40 years of research with more than 3,000 couples—the most extensive study ever done on marital stability.
