Marriage & Couples

Just getting started?

Get the facts behind the scientific studies and learn how to put the research to work in your relationship. As you listen to this entertaining presentation by Dr. Gottman, we promise you'll be surprised, enlightened and encouraged by what you hear. You and your partner can then jump into the exercises in Dr. Gottman's bestselling book, which is for all committed couples, married or not.

Best value: Book & DVD combo

Ready for the next step?

You'll want The Art & Science of Love , a workshop for couples of every type. The work in the live version of this home study program has been shown to acheive results similar to those of six months of marital therapy. And while the workshop is not therapy, it produces positive results for 86% of the couples who attend (based on exit surveys). The Art & Science of Love is offered live in Seattle several times per year, or can be completed via our home study DVD box set .

Does it work? Listen to these couples ...

"The seminar we attended in May was fabulous! I honestly didn't think we would ever be able to get back to the intense feelings that we had when we first were married, but this seminar sure did it for us! What a gift it has been! We have been giving your web address out to all of our friends! Thanks so much!!" (H.S., Great Falls, VA )

What's behind our success?

Science!

Our work is grounded in 40 years of research with more than 3000 couples.

86 percent of people who complete our couples workshops make significant progress on conflicts that once felt “gridlocked”
These numbers are a big improvement over other forms of marital intervention. For example, acclaimed marriage researcher Neil Jacobson conducted an evaluation of one of the most highly regarded therapy methods and showed that only 35 percent of couples using it improved their marriages.

Couples talk about their Gottman workshop experience

Another person's story:
"My husband and I have been married 33 years and over the past few years had been exhibiting destructive relationship behaviors. We attended your couples workshop the first weekend of May in Seattle and I'll admit I sat with my arms crossed thinking "I hope he's hearing this." We bickered through many of the exercises. I left feeling we had failed miserably. But returning home something clicked and we started over at the beginning of the book and repeated the exercises. For the past four weeks we have practiced being relationship masters and I feel like we are soul mates once again. This week my husband was diagnosed with bladder cancer. I am grateful we are entering this challenge from a positive relationship place. Thank you." (N.W., Sequim, WA)
