This two-hour workshop equips couples with practical, research-backed strategies for navigating conflict and strengthening their relationship. Based on the work of renowned relationship experts Drs. John and Julie Gottman, the class draws on over 40 years of research into what makes relationships succeed or fail. The facilitator will lead games and activities selected from the books The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work, Fight Right, and Eight Dates to teach concepts including repairing negativity in conflicts, accepting influence, expressing admiration, and building a love map of your partner’s world. Led by Kayla McGrady, a trained Gottman Seven Principles Program Leader and founder of Cherished Vows Weddings, the class is LGBTQ+ inclusive and designed for couples at any stage—from newly dating to long-term partners.
