Why This Workshop Works
Discover why The Art and Science of Love stands apart from traditional relationship advice. This interactive two-day workshop combines engaging expert presentations with private couple exercises, giving you hands-on practice with proven techniques. Developed from over 50 years of scientific research with thousands of couples, the Gottman Method is grounded in what actually works in relationships that are happy and stable—not idealistic theories or anecdotal evidence.
The results speak for themselves: 94% of couples who attend report positive outcomes based on exit surveys, with benefits shown to be similar to those achieved through six months of marital therapy. You'll leave with practical skills you can implement immediately, comprehensive take-home materials for continued growth, and a deeper understanding of what makes your relationship strong.
