THE CHALLENGE COUPLES ARE FACING IS UNPRECEDENTED

The COVID-19 pandemic is causing anxiety, stress and fatigue.

Not only are we concerned for our health and the health of our loved ones, but our lifestyles and, likely our jobs, have changed. Add to this: being home with each other more, having to manage modified school schedules, helping with technology and entertaining the kids, and no longer having access to activities that served as stress relievers. Even strong marriages are being tested.

A PURPOSEFUL SOLUTION FROM THE COMFORT OF YOUR HOME

Introducing the Seven Principles Program, a couples workshop. The Program is based on the internationally acclaimed research of Dr. John Gottman, as presented in his book The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work. The Program was designed by the Gottman Institute to teach couples how to strengthen their relationships by applying the Seven Principles to their everyday lives. Attending this workshop allows the couple to carve out the time to learn the concepts and do the exercises, instead of letting good intentions fall by wayside.

The Program is presented virtually by Meredith Keller, LPC &  co-presented by Marianne Legato. Short lectures alternate with breakout sessions for couples to go through workbook exercises privately. NO PERSONAL INFORMATION IS DISCLOSED TO OTHER COUPLES OR THE PRESENTERS.

Meredith M. Keller, LPC, ACS, DCC, (37PC00325600) has worked with couples for over a decade. As our center Director, she is passionate about her job, and grateful she can make a difference in the lives of so many families.

Marianne Legato is an attorney in private practice.  She became a Seven Principles Program leader because implementing the Seven Principles in her own life helped her marriage successfully through a rough patch.  She and her husband recently celebrated their 22nd anniversary.
