Who Should Attend?
Research shows that on average, couples wait six years from the first signs of problems before they seek help. The workshop is designed to strengthen your marriage and/or relationship. If you have a strong relationship, this workshop will provide you with insights and tools to make it a great one.
The workshop is not for couples in acute crisis, such as a recently discovered affair, where someone is actively suicidal, or where domestic violence or substance abuse is present. If any of these fit your situation, please seek out professional help. The Art and Science of Love Couples Workshop may be helpful after these situations have improved.
