Even the strongest relationships are strained during the transition to parenthood. Lack of sleep, never-ending housework and new fiscal concerns can lead to profound stress and a decline in marital satisfaction-all of which affects baby’s care. Not surprisingly, 69% of new parents experience conflict, disappointment and hurt feelings after the baby arrives. In this couple’s workshop you’ll learn practical strategies for keeping your relationship strong.
Topics covered include how to manage conflict, how to stay connected and continue to grow together as a couple, what the research says about the differences in how mothers and fathers parent, how to play with and attune to your baby’s emotions, how to bring romance and passion back into your relationship and so much more! This research-based couples workshop prepares you and your partner for a new challenging but rewarding life with baby and helps you be the best parenting team possible.
Workshop objectives are to:
🌻 Prepare your relationship for the transition to parenthood
🌻 Maintain relationship satisfaction after having a baby
🌻 Promote positive parent-baby interactions
🌻 Promote quality involvement for both parents
🌻 Reduce the incidence or severity of postpartum mood disorders.
The Gottman 7 Principles Program was developed using the book, The 7 Principles of Making Marriage Work, by John M. Gottman, Ph.D. and Nan Silver for use in a class format or weekend retreat setting. The hope is that providing the Seven Principles Program based on the latest research about what makes marriages succeed, and what happens when relationships deteriorate or fail, will encourage couples to get the help they need much sooner.
The relationship skills contained in the workshop are applicable to couples who are engaged or even contemplating marriage, through couples who have been together for a lifetime but desire to deepen and enhance their relationship. The program does not provide psychotherapy nor is it intended to take the place of martial therapy or counseling, but it does provide practical skills in a psycho-educational format that can help couples strengthen their relationships.
Workshop objectives include:
🌻 The research foundation of the 7 Principles
🌻 Proven tools to help couples strengthen their bond
🌻 Improve friendship, fondness and admiration
🌻 Enhance romance and intimacy
🌻 Manage conflict constructively
🌻 Gain skills to address perpetual problems and solvable problems
🌻 Create shared meaning
The workshop format includes lectures and private couple exercises. Participants will not share their personal problems in front of others.
