When a couple decides they need help, they want it NOW. And that feeling is certainly understandable. Living with gridlock or a fading friendship can leave one feeling very concerned about the future. The fastest way to restore positive feelings in a relationship and achieve similar results to 6 months of marital therapy is a couples workshop or marriage retreat like The Art & Science of Love.
What’s behind the success of this particular workshop? In a word: Science! The techniques taught to couples in The Art & Science of Love are grounded in 40 years of research by Dr. John Gottman. He studied more than 3000 couples, published numerous scientific papers and translated this information into a brand of therapy and this powerful 2 day workshop.
By surveying workshop participants, Gottman found that 86 percent of couples report making significant progress on conflicts that once felt “gridlocked”. This is a much quicker response than other forms of marital intervention. Having attended the workshop as a participant with my husband, I can attest to the fact that we tackled a gridlocked parenting issue that has plagued us for the last several years. We are now better able hear each others differing perspectives and come to a compromise more quickly.
Alysha and I are excited to be offering this powerful 2 day workshop on November 2-3. It is filled with practical, simple tools and exercises to confirm, strengthen or restore
