Why Conventional Marriage Wisdom Is Wrong
​
Marriage is one of the oldest social, economic, religious, and legal institutions in the world, and there’s no shortage of opinions on what makes it work. But much of the conventional wisdom is not based on evidence, and some is flat-out wrong. After researching thousands of couples for more than 40 years at The Gottman Institute, these are some of the myths we’ve encountered most often.
Our Vision and Mission
Think for a moment about a married couple whom you love and respect. What would you do if that couple told you they would divorce if you couldn't help them work things out? Would you know how to react? What should you do or say? Adultery, pornography, bitterness, unforgiveness, communication, marital drift—helping couples through these trials is our area of expertise.
Why Choose Us For Online Appointments?
During the pandemic, we discovered a need for services outside our local area. We noticed many businesses offering "online" services, but we believe those services were lacking. They were people on laptops in their offices or, even worse, a makeshift home office in a kitchen or bedroom. We needed something better if we were to help others, so we created it.
Support that makes a difference​
A Research-Based Approach
​Drs. John and Julie Gottman created this research-based training in collaboration with The Gottman Institute to help couples build a personalized training plan with their relationship specialist. Dr. John Gottman is a clinical psychologist who has completed more than 40 years of research on couple relationships and is recognized as one of the top 10 most influential relationship specialists of the last quarter century.
The Cost Of An Education
My wife and I talked about one of the couples that had been at the center for about three months. When they initially came, they had problems they believed were insurmountable and thought that a new start (without each other) might be the best option. They told us we were the last stop before the courts!
