The Seven Principles Virtual Couples Series

Your relationship deserves intentional time — even when life is busy.

The Seven Principles Virtual Couples Series is a structured, interactive online workshop designed to help couples learn practical tools for strengthening friendship, improving communication, and navigating conflict more effectively.

Based on the research of Drs. John and Julie Gottman, this series gives couples the opportunity to move through the Seven Principles framework at a slower, more reflective pace while practicing skills privately with one another between sessions.

The virtual format is ideal for couples who want structure and support without needing to attend a full weekend intensive.

*This is not therapy, and couples are not required to share personal details with the group.

The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work are based on decades of relationship research from Drs. John and Julie Gottman.

Throughout this series, couples will explore how to:

1. Build Love Maps
   Better understand your partner’s inner world, stressors, dreams, preferences, and emotional needs.
2. Share Fondness and Admiration
   Strengthen appreciation, respect, and positive regard in your relationship.
3. Turn Toward Instead of Away
   Recognize everyday bids for connection and respond in ways that build closeness.
4. Let Your Partner Influence You
   Practice teamwork, openness, and mutual respect in communication and decision-making.
5. Solve Solvable Problems
   Learn tools for approaching conflict with more clarity, calm, and cooperation.
6. Overcome Gridlock
   Understand recurring conflicts more deeply and explore the dreams, values, and emotions underneath them.
7. Create Shared Meaning
   Build rituals, goals, traditions, and a stronger sense of purpose as a couple.

Each session includes teaching, examples, guided reflection, and private partner exercises.

Couples participate together from one device whenever possible and complete exercises privately with one another. While there may be opportunities for general discussion or questions, couples are never required to disclose personal relationship details to the group.

The series is designed to feel warm, structured, practical, and supportive.
