The Art & SCIENCE of Love 2 couples workshop is based on the inspiring couples research presented by Drs.

Presented by popular demand, The Art and Science of Love 2 is your opportunity to take your partnership to the next level.
Richard and Christianne will provide a review of the Sound Relationship House and share proven methods for developing effective problem solving skills, including repair and compromise. You’ll learn thought-provoking information and research on brain neurobiology that can help increase your understanding of the Gottman Method.
Most importantly, this workshop will help you put it all together so you can more deeply integrate these new behaviors with your everyday life.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How much time should we wait after completing the first Art and Science of Love before attending this advanced workshop?
It varies according to each couple’s needs. Some attend within a very short time (a month or two) because they want to truly integrate the skills, and find the workshop environment helpful. Some want to try things on their own for longer, and come to the advanced workshop when the need for more practice arises.
What if my partner and I are basically doing ok, but could use a refresher? Would this be for us?
Yes, definitely. Couples who are doing “okay” have given us clear feedback that this workshop is refreshing and energizing for their relationship. The Gottman research and tools are rich and deep and more learning is always possible. This workshop presents additional skills and information that couples have stated help them enrich their relationship.
What if we made progress and liked the concepts, but had difficulty with the exercises at the first workshop? Would this be for us?
Yes. Couples at all stages have attended this refresher for learning the tools of the Gottman model. Here, we’ll present different exercises and additional information that we’ve heard has been useful in the learning process.
What if we attended a refresher workshop in the past? Can we attend again?
Yes! Couples who have attended past workshops say that this experience was so helpful for their relationship that they would attend again. A number of couples even came several years in a row.
How will this refresher workshop be different than the first workshop?
It’s designed to give you the opportunity to sharpen your skills and practice the Gottman concepts with new exercises. There is more emphasis upon the development of intimacy in your relationship, and further work on the use of repair and the “dreams within conflict” concepts. Specific subjects include money, sex and intimacy, and interpersonal neurobiology.
