Happily Ever After: The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work | SPARK Relationship + Sexual Wellness
Family Events
Are you an engaged or newlywed couple? You're invited to a one-of-a-kind premarital workshop exploring powerful insights and practical tools from the best-selling book “The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work” by John Gottman. In just one weekend, you'll learn:
How to nurture your friendship and deepen emotional connection
Ingredients for a happy sex life (lingerie is for the patriarchy)
Strategies to support one another's personal dreams and goals
Conflict resolution skills so good, you'll look forward to arguments
Most couples wait until things fall apart before they start prioritizing their relationship, but research shows it's far easier and more effective to build a strong marriage than it is to repair a broken one. We've all heard the staggering statistic: 50% of marriages end in divorce. Proactively invest in your marriage now with evidence-based knowledge and skills that will protect your love long-term.
GOOD NEWS: we’re offering a special introductory rate to celebrate the launch of this workshop!
As part of our pilot cohort, you’ll get the full experience at a fraction of the cost - simply by offering feedback and testimonials to help us refine the experience for future couples. Don’t miss this opportunity to join at our lowest rate.

WHAT IT IS
An intimate 3-day couples’ workshop exploring powerful insights and practical tools from the best-selling book “The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work.”
WHO IT'S FOR
This workshop is designed for couples who are seriously dating and considering marriage, already engaged, or have been married less than 5 years. We warmly welcome couples of all ages, races, religions, sexual & gender identities, and those who are remarrying.
WHEN & WHERE
June 20-22, 2025 (it's also being offered
July 18-20, 2025
or
August 22-24, 2025
). We’ll meet Friday 7-9pm, Saturday 10am-4pm, and Sunday 10am-4pm at SPARK Relationship + Sexual Wellness in the heart of Old Worthington.
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN
This inspiring and interactive weekend goes beyond generic advice; you’ll walk away with valuable evidence-based strategies to improve communication, deepen intimacy, and navigate conflict effectively based on The Gottman Method.
WHAT'S INCLUDED
You'll get a copy of the book along with a couple's workbook filled with exercises for you and your partner to complete throughout the weekend and beyond. All meals and refreshments will be provided (see below for details), along with a few fun surprises.
WHY BOTHER
Studies find that couples who read the book and attend a Seven Principles workshop led by a certified Gottman leader demonstrate far better outcomes than those who just read the book. This immersive workshop is a carefully curated, hands-on experience led by seasoned relationship experts that includes thought-provoking presentations, group discussions, self-reflection, and partner exercises with an emphasis on understanding, integrating, applying the principles to your unique relationship.
WHO WE ARE
Award-winning instructor, TEDx speaker, and Gottman-certified expert Dr. Meghna Mahambrey and her husband Andrew Kuss will facilitate the workshop. As relationship coaches and the co-founders of SPARK, they host a popular podcast, blog, and Youtube channel on healthy relationships and sex.
