Communication breakdowns, betrayal, emotional distance, or unresolved conflict are blocking connection and peace. ## Communication Breakdowns You can’t seem to talk without tension—or total shutdown. ## Growing Emotional Distance You love each other, but the closeness is gone. You’re drifting instead of growing. ## Unresolved Conflicts and Fears You worry small issues may become big problems—or already have. ***Expert Guidance That Doesn’t Judge, Just Helps***: You don’t need to be perfect. You just need to show up willing to learn. Our certified therapists are trained in the Gottman Method, one of the most respected and research-backed couples therapy models in the world. With over 40 years of combined experience, our team knows how to guide couples with clarity, compassion, and structure. ## Your 3-Step Workshop Plan ## Step 1: Choose a Workshop Date If you see multiple workshop dates, select the Gottman Method workshop that suits your schedule. ## Step 2: Register and Prepare Sign up online and receive prep instructions to make the most of your experience. ## Step 3: Attend and Reconnect Join other couples in a safe, structured environment designed to help you reconnect, learn, and apply new tools immediately. ![](https://bestmarriages.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/ASL-Box-Set-Live.jpg) Pinnacle Hotel Harbourfront, BC October 25th & 26th, 2026 8:30 am – 5:00 pm [REGISTER NOW FOR VANCOUVER October 2026 WORKSHOP](https://bestmarriages.ca/workshops-training/) Pinnacle Hotel Harbourfront, BC April 24th& 25th, 2027 8:30 am – 5:00 pm [REGISTER NOW FOR VANCOUVER April 2027 WORKSHOP](https://bestmarriages.ca/workshops-training/) [THERAPISTS RECEIVE $200 DISCOUNT ON REGISTRATION](https://bestmarriages.ca/workshops-training/) ## View Testimonials From Our Gottman Method Couples Therapy Workshops ![](https://bestmarriages.ca/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/ASL-Results.gif) ### View This Couple’s Big Takeaway From Our Workshop ![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/mWYFJHi7v4A/hqdefault.jpg)▶ ### View Reason Why This Couple Attended A Second Time ![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/NWeKl4c7t5k/hqdefault.jpg)▶ ### ********Discover This Couples’ Takeaway From Our Workshop******** ![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/ZjSxJfTkVVQ/hqdefault.jpg)▶ ### Couple Shares How This Workshop Compares To Others ![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/Bnlx17HxAik/hqdefault.jpg)▶ ## Workshop Attendees Share Their Experiences - ## **They ACTUALLY worked out a conflict in front of us!!** > **My husband and I attended this weekend’s workshop in Edmonton, and we are both overcome with emotions. We found ourselves having fun and giggling! We learned a lot of things that we can each use in our relationship- and we kind of can’t wait to disagree, so we can use our new skills!! We were extremely touched by Darren and LaVerna’s emotions when they ACTUALLY worked out a conflict in front of us!! Both of them ended up crying, and it was truly humbling to see therapists practice what they preach, not just tell us how, not just show us by acting, but by being REAL and talking about themselves and their experiences. I can honestly say that I was worried about the outcome of this weekend with my hubby, but I actually learned things about my husband that I NEVER knew in our 6 years together! I attribute this to the program, to Darren, Lawrence, and LaVerna, and also the comfortable environment that they created for us. I left feeling lighter, safer, and more confident in my relationship, and sad that the workshop was over! I can’t wait to do it again, and I am actually thinking of sending two couples I know who are getting married this summer some information and recommendations for this conference!! Thank you so much to all three who were there coaching us this weekend!!!** Nichole Toohey Edmonton AB - ## **Kept our marriage together while also bringing the fun and romance back into it.**.. > **Letting you know that Stephen and I have renewed the friendship, the attraction, and the love in our marriage since our retreat with Best Marriages in Feb 09. Our marriage was going down a rocky road, with me lost in my career and he lost in his TV and fiction books. I really thought I needed a more motivated partner – little did I realize that I was not lending any balance to our relationship, and he was stonewalling and retreating into defense mode. We have made a conscious effort since the retreat to enjoy our 6-second kisses and to genuinely listen to one another. Another great habit we’ve both come to love is the Salsa card on the kitchen table each morning, as we alternate turns picking our choice. The Salsa cards have really helped us regain intimacy and affection in our relationship, and it’s always fun to see what our partner picks for us. I have pledged to take a full Sunday off to be with Steve and to shut down my office at 9 pm each night. He has pledged to watch less TV and to do things together during our “US” times. We have also chosen to be together twice a week to read aloud “Relationship/Love Books” together. And then we do the exercises at the end of the chapters together, and in the process, we learn more about one another’s feelings. Again, Darren and Lawrence, I truly enjoyed the retreat and want to thank you – your program is exactly what we needed to not only keep our marriage together but also to bring the fun and romance back into it. Thank you!** Workshop Attendee Langley, BC - ## **Our marriage is now moving again in the right direction**… > **Everything about the whole program you delivered was perfect, your delivery was great, you guys gave many great examples, and the practice time was well appreciated. I could go on for quite some time but I think you get the point. I do have to say one more thing though, the end of the workshop was amazing, i did not expect to have such an emotional response, but I did and I am grateful. The outcome of all this is that our marriage is now moving again in the right direction, and I thank you. We thank you.** Workshop Attendee Squamish, BC - ## ****I feel a sense of peace about our marriage.**** > **I felt like my spouse really listened to what I was feeling without getting defensive. I feel a sense of peace about our marriage.** Ricia Adair Vancouver Island, BC - ## **Loved the exercises and the great package of materials** > **Loved the exercises and the great package of materials… easy to plan what we can use after the workshop!** Workshop Attendee Surrey, BC - ## ****We both feel more committed than ever to improving our relationship**.** > **We were able to identify and work through a gridlocked problem that was very challenging for us. We have not been able to deal with things and avoided conflict for so long. He was very emotional, but I think we started to dialogue that we will be able to continue long after the conference is over. We both feel more committed than ever to improving our relationship**. Workshop Attendee Vancouver, BC - ## **One of the best workshops we’ve ever been to**… > **Thank you (to you & Darren) again for a great workshop. My husband and I said it was one of the best workshops we’ve ever been to (out of many personal and professional development courses).** Annie G. Vancouver, BC - ## **Gave me effective tools to work with**… > **I was extremely pleased with this workshop. It gave me effective tools to work with and ways to look at things differently in my relationship. It was excellent, and I would highly recommend it to other couples.** Sharon O. Vancouver, BC - ## **Best I have seen (and I have been to many professional workshops)…** > **Both facilitators were amazing! Best I have seen done, and I have been to many professional workshops. Thank you so much as the concepts I was already familiar with were explained more clearly and fun.** Workshop Attendee Vancouver BC - ## *Facilitators were professional, gentle, caring, and humorous*… > **The facilitators were so professional, gentle, caring, and brought a humorous, sensitive touch to our relationship.** They offered hope and tools to help us achieve a happy marriage, in our view**. Thank you for everything. What a profound two days it has been. The re-commitment exercise at the end was a perfect way to end the day!** Workshop Attendee Vancouver, BC ## What Will Change Move from hurt, fear, and disconnection to clarity, connection, and confidence. ### Stronger Connection Starts Here: - Couples who complete our workshops often say: - ***“We’re finally having real conversations again.”*** - ***“We feel heard—and hopeful.”*** - ***“This gave us tools we can actually use.”*** - You’ll leave with skills to defuse conflict, express needs calmly, and deepen emotional connection—together. ### Without Help, Things Tend to Spiral: - Avoid emotional distance, painful patterns, or years of frustration.

A Gottman Method workshop is a structured, research-based learning experience that teaches couples practical tools to improve communication, manage conflict, and strengthen emotional connection. Workshops are facilitated by trained therapists and are based on decades of relationship research, translating proven concepts—like Love Maps, the Four Horsemen, and repair strategies—into skills couples can use immediately. **About The Gottman Institute** [The Gottman Institute](https://www.gottman.com/), founded by Dr. John Gottman, applies leading-edge research on marriage stability in a practical, down-to-earth way. No other approach to couples education and therapy has relied on such intensive, detailed, and long-term scientific study of why marriages succeed or fail. Dr. John Gottman is a world renowned expert in relationships and marriages. https://player.vimeo.com/video/104552850?dnt=1&app_id=122963 ![](https://bestmarriages.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/April-ASL-Promo-2-p1.png) **How Effective is it?** If your relationship is healthy, this workshop will give you insight and tools to make it even better.

On day one you learn how to build closeness in your relationship and feelings of respect and affection. ![](https://bestmarriages.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/ASL-Box-Set-Live.jpg)On day two you begin to learn about managing conflict while communicating effectively. Through the use of anecdotes and role-play couples work privately to address real-life challenge. There is no group work or public disclosure – so you feel comfortable every step of the way. Most couples find they become better friends then before they came because of the fun they experience working together to build a stronger bond. Our Gottman Certified Therapists are there every step of the way to support attending couples one-on-one with exercises. ![](https://bestmarriages.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/April-ASL-Promo-2-p3.png) **Proven Methods, Gottman Certified** An extension of the counselling provided in our offices, guidance is based on the teachings of Dr. John Gottman who developed his methods through more than 40 years of research and experience in counselling. Dr. Gottman has scientifically analyzed the habits of married couples and established a method of correcting the behavior that puts thousands of marriages on the rocks. His method helps couples focus on each other, on paying attention to the small day-to-day moments that, strung together, make up the heart and soul of any relationship. These relationship-enhancing skills are the heart of our couples workshops. ## Misconception: Workshops Are Only for Couples in Crisis Not true. Many couples attend workshops proactively to strengthen their relationship, improve communication, or prevent small issues from becoming bigger problems. ## Who Should Attend This Gottman Couples Workshop? Workshops are ideal for couples at many stages: engaged, newly married, long-term partners, or couples experiencing stress or disconnection. They’re especially helpful for couples who want practical tools, preventative support, or a focused reset—without committing to ongoing weekly therapy. ## Misconception: Group Workshops Aren’t Personal While workshops are held in a group setting, couples work primarily with each other. Exercises are designed to be private, reflective, and practical, allowing couples to apply tools directly to their own relationship. ## Is a Workshop Better Than Therapy? A workshop isn’t “better” than therapy—it’s **different**. Workshops are educational and skills-focused, offering concentrated learning in one or two days. Therapy is individualized and ongoing. Many couples use workshops as a strong starting point, a supplement to therapy, or a refresher when they want faster momentum and shared language. ![](https://bestmarriages.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/April-ASL-Promo-2-p4.png) ## Misconception: A Weekend Isn’t Enough to Help A weekend can be enough to create meaningful insight, skill-building, and momentum. Workshops are intentionally designed to deliver high-impact tools that couples can continue practicing long after the workshop ends. ## What Will We Learn in One Weekend? In a weekend workshop, couples typically learn how to: – Communicate more clearly and calmly – Understand and interrupt negative conflict patterns – Build emotional safety and connection – Practice effective repair strategies – Apply Gottman tools to real-life conversations The focus is on learning, practicing, and applying skills together—not just listening to lectures. **Workshop Topics Include:** **Five Basic Questions** 1\. How is your marriage/relationship doing? 2\. What makes relationships change, for better or for worse? 3\. If your marriage is in trouble, how can you turn it around? 4\. If your marriage is doing well, how can you ensure that your relationship will continue to grow? 5\. As your relationship improves, how can you make changes last? **Assess Your Marriage** – Learn to recognize the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse and what to do if they are attacking your marriage. – Identify your relationship’s specific strengths and how to build on these. – Learn about the effects of physiological flooding and how it may affect conflict resolution – Learn small easy steps that increase romance in your relationship **Build A Solid Marital House** – Learn how Love Maps provide a solid foundation for your marital intimacy – Use the Fondness & Admiration System to renew respect and care for one another – Create an Emotional Bank Account that you can draw upon in times of stress – Develop your problem-solving skills, including the four techniques of effective conflict resolution: Softened Start-Up, Accepting Influence, Repair Work and De-escalation – Find out how you can make your dreams and aspirations come true for you, your partner, and your relationship ## Misconception: Workshops Replace Therapy Entirely Workshops do not replace therapy. They complement it. Some couples attend workshops instead of therapy; others use them alongside or before starting therapy. Follow-up counselling is always an option if deeper or individualized support is needed. ## Are Workshops Effective for Real Problems? Yes. Gottman Method workshops are grounded in research on what actually helps couples succeed. While workshops are not crisis therapy, many couples report meaningful improvements in communication, understanding, and emotional closeness—even when facing long-standing challenges. ## Misconception: Only Married Couples Can Attend Workshops are open to all committed couples—married, engaged, or long-term partners. The Gottman Method focuses on relationship dynamics, not marital status. ## Who Is This Format Best For? Couples who don’t live near a certified Gottman Therapist, can’t commit to weekly sessions, or need urgent support for infidelity, grief, or crisis benefit most from this model. ![](https://bestmarriages.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/April-ASL-Promo-2-p6.png) **Who Would Not Be A Candidate?** Couples who have already determined to leave their relationship and cannot commit to the therapy process are unlikely to derive significant benefit from this process, and are therefore not candidates for this type of therapy. **What if there has been infidelity?** Have you experienced an affair in your relationship recently? Our workshops can help you both recover from the experience and move forward in a positive way. But our workshops are much more than that. Not just for couples looking to repair their relationships, these workshops are also for couples who would like to strengthen their existing relationship, grow much closer and kick start the romance and passion they are both seeking. ## More Details ![](https://bestmarriages.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/Weekend-Workshops-for-Couples-1024x576.png)![](https://bestmarriages.ca/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/ASL-Results.gif)At The Art & Science of Love Gottman couples and marriage workshop you get 2 full days of real-world information and easy exercises/tools that will help to reinforce and restore your love. **Counsellors Darren Wilk and Lawrence Stoyanowski of Best Marriages** bring an unparalleled level of insight to their Couples and Marriage Workshops in Edmonton, Calgary, Saskatoon and Vancouver. **Highly endorsed by the Gottman Institute,** Darren and Lawrence have even traveled to Seattle to present their Couples Workshop. Attend with confidence knowing that **we have presented this Gottman couples workshop over 80 times with groups ranging in size between 30 to 50 couples**. These workshops will sell out in some areas. [Read the reviews](https://bestmarriages.ca/workshops-training/couples-counselling-workshop-testimonials/) The Art & Science of Love is a workshop for every type of couple and **has been shown to achieve results similar to 6 months of traditional marriage counselling**. That’s because **we equip you with a box of Gottman researched-based techniques, cards, tools and tips** to help support a healthy relationship long after you return home from our retreats. **This workshop is guaranteed to not make you feel uncomfortable, be nerve-wracking or a waste of your time.** Using **humor and proven techniques** we will help you strengthen your relationship regardless of where the two of you are at. **Different Personalities** Marriage workshops provided by Best Marriages address the personality differences affecting countless couples. People’s personalities change as they grow, which is often difficult for their partners to accept. Darren Wilk and Lawrence Stoyanowski help couples learn to cope with these changes. Methods of rekindling the intensity of spouses’ feelings for each other are also taught, to combat the loss of passion many couples experience. **Communication** Successfully conveying feelings is helpful. However, despite the most effective communication techniques, occasional arguments will arise. Our relationship workshops provide guidance in managing these conflicts as well as moving past the inevitable impasses on certain issues. Couples also learn how to apologize to one another following their disputes while seeing each other through the various stages of forgiveness. **Fostering Healthy Relationships** Another unique aspect of these workshops revolves around making the small but vital connections necessary for a healthy relationship. Though most people are aware of such needs, they often do not understand how to reach out to their partner or what to make of those times when their needs are ignored. Wilk and Stoyanowski shed light on these issues. Lastly, attendees learn the importance of a shared system of values as well as how to create one. ## We Serve Couples From These Cities ## Couples Therapy Intensives for Clients Across Canada and the U.S. ### Canadian Cities We Serve -
