It's all based on Dr. John Gottman's 40 years of research with over 3,000 couples: The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work. The class does NOT include sharing any problems or issues publicly, but does provide each couple with private time to work on exercises that are proven to help improve friendship, fondness, and admiration. The cost is $149 per couple, for materials, and registration is required. The class size is limited to 10 couples.
