As a Lessons in Love Leader, you’ll have the unique opportunity to teach people how to prepare for a future relationship by providing a combination of scientific research with specific skill sets and exercises.

Individuals who attend a Singles Workshop are able to learn more about themselves, reflect on their past relationships, and increase emotional awareness.

Your singles workshops will allow participants to…

• Learn about the phases of a relationship and how to know future partners in a deep, profound way
• Build friendship and trust while dating and in future relationships
• Recognize and respond to bids for emotional connection
• Understand how “negative” and “positive” emotions influence relationships
• Evaluate past relationships to plan for future ones
• Understand and work with solvable problems, perpetual problems, and gridlock
• Create a special “Story of Us” and maintain relationship gains

Take your workshop participants through the three systems of the Seven Principles:

The Friendship System; Principles 1-3

Friendship is the foundation of most relationships. Understanding the importance of a strong friendship can motivate you to befriend your partner repeatedly.

The Conflict Management System; Principles 4-6

Dr. John Gottman’s research findings emphasize the idea that people must learn to manage conflict rather than avoid or attempt to eliminate it. Discussing issues is constructive and provides a positive opportunity for understanding and growth.

The Shared Meaning System; Principle 7

A successful relationship is about more than paying bills, getting chores done, and checking off the to-do list. It is also about building a meaningful relationship that has a deeper dimension and is rich in shared meaning.

By participating in this course, you will…

• Learn how to plan, budget, market, and organize your own Lessons in Love: Seven Principles for Singles workshop.
• Gain practical strategies for presenting the Gottman Seven Principles adapted for singles in both in-person and virtual formats in your community.
• Develop skills to handle difficult situations and make referrals as needed.
• Understand how to use digital singles set materials to enrich the workshop experience.
• Be able to market yourself as a “Lessons in Love Leader”.

The Lessons in Love: Seven Principles for Singles Leader Training and associated products are provided in English. The Gottman Institute is not currently accepting requests to translate the Lessons in Love materials into additional languages.
