What Will You Learn?
In Lasting Relationships, we draw from John Gottman's extensive research on what makes relationships succeed or fail. Participants will learn to recognize key factors that contribute to success, including how to effectively manage conflict and strengthen emotional connections. We also use the Five Love Languages to help couples identify and speak each other's primary love language, improving communication, fostering deeper connections, and creating more fulfilling relationships.
