The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work program is based on the internationally acclaimed research of Dr. John Gottman as presented in his New York Times bestselling book—The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work.
This educational workshop is designed to help couples improve their friendship and conflict management skills. The Seven Principles Program is facilitated by Amanda Hess, a Certified Gottman Therapist, and includes lectures as well as private couple exercises. Couples do not have to be married to participate and will NOT share their personal problems in front of others.
