Recently attended the Gottman couples workshop, and I honestly feel it was game changer. Saul Stern took us through steps to better behave, respond, and honor your "beloved". It was... read more the tune-up that we needed as a couple, and will most definitely be incorporated into our relationship. I feel better equipped to navigate the more challenging times, for sure. My husband does too 🙂 We're in this together! (oh, and Saul's humor makes it fun-- he was really great)

March 14, 2024Gina GoettelmannGood Morning Saul, I wanted to take a few minutes this morning to Thank You for an Amazing experience this weekend. How you brought this beautiful method to us was... read more clearly very personal and passionate for you. You delivered a message that Love, Faith, Trust and Respect can be relearned a better way than we were taught. And the circle of Life can be lived much happier. Thank You again for an amazing experience. And it was no coincidence I was guided to your seminar. We will be forever Grateful and are committed to perfecting this approach . May the love for your work continue to shine through in your unique approach to helping couples. I strongly recommend this course for ALL couples. Sincerely, Gina Palmer
March 13, 2024Chris SullivanSaul Stern is completely dedicated to any and all that attend his Gottman Couple’s Workshop. His style of presentation is so powerful and yet humble, you find yourself making... read more notes of most of his quotes, everywhere, all through the workbook as you go. Once you’re done and you’ve received all his wonderful reminders of what you covered, you realize which of those quotes you cherish most and which of those quotes you want to work on the most. Simply said, Saul plants this wonderful class into your soul as he lets you know how much he cares about your relationship with each other too. He doesn’t know it yet, but we’ll likely call him for some touch-up sessions as the future brings some questions, like it always does. Saul walks the talk, as he likes to say in the class. You know he would always help you do the same.

We had a wonderful and insightful experience at Saul's couples workshop last weekend. Marriage isn't always easy, and this workshop helped us realize that it takes effort and time to... read more truly understand and appreciate our partners. The workshop taught us valuable skills that we can now incorporate into our daily lives, such as building love maps, managing conflict, expressing fondness and admiration, and creating meaningful rituals. We're grateful for this opportunity and highly recommend this workshop to couples at any stage of their relationship. Lee
March 2, 2024J-Ray LiebermanI went into our Gottman weekend feeling hopeful that by the end, we would feel it had been beneficial, but otherwise I wasn’t particularly excited to sit through a two... read more day marriage seminar. I didn’t expect that when it was over I would feel So good and be so glad we had done it. Saul was a great instructor, who kept things lively and enjoyable and you can see how passionate he is about this work. We will most definitely recommend Saul and this course to many other couples.
March 2, 2024Edy BAs a couple that has been in marriage counseling with some great therapists, I can honestly say that none of those therapists were able to achieve in years what Saul... read more helped us to achieve in just one weekend. Will this workshop instantly cure all of your marital turmoil? If you are both present with all that is being expressed and follow it when you leave, I would say there is a likelihood of your marriage becoming a beautiful space for you and your spouse in a short amount of time. Saul tesches you how to turn to each other instead of against one another as so many people do. Unlike therapy and so many things we've tried, Saul went into the deeper causes of marital distress and gave us tangible tools to repair and rebuild. We could sense his genuine desire for every single couple to win. This workshop is truly a gift to any couple that takes it, even with a slightly open heart and mind.
February 16, 2024Jeanette SuhaneeMy husband and I attended this workshop with humble admissions: 1 - we love each other and have our own way of working out differences, and 2 - there may... read more be more to learn about healthy couple's communication. Well, there is, and Saul does a terrific job teaching it. He's personable, hopeful, honest, insightful, and funny. He makes the time fly, like the best kind of teacher. He also takes moments to listen and inspire, congratulate and reexplain. The information he delivers is NOT all intuitively knowable either. In fact, in some cases, healthy communication is working against instincts, but ones that don't serve us at all in long-lasting, fulfilling relationships. There IS a better way of communicating, and it's been researched very thoroughly and put together to help couples just starting, just wanting better connection, or just worried they're at the end of their rope. After learning strategies with Saul, I wish it could be required education. I feel I truly took away a priceless gem to serve me and my family my whole life. I'm even going to teach my kids! I highly recommend Saul's workshop to all couples.

What an incredibly positive, productive, and helpful experience this couples' workshop was for myself (and my husband agreed). Saul created a safe environment, took time to build trust and... read more rapport, humbly shared stories of success and stories for how to avoid staying stuck. I learned so much and appreciated Saul's wealth of experience, compassionate way of being, passion for helping couples strengthen their marriage, and his masterful facilitation! I also appreciated the dynamic structure of the experiential sessions. I am so grateful! Thank you Saul!

Saul is amazing! Definitely worth the time and money invested.
December 16, 2023Bishoi NagehFirst let me talk about the workshop. Will SAVE your marriage. One of the best things you can do for growth with your partner. Now lets talk about, Saul. ... read more He has the most genuine heart when presenting. You can tell he is not reading from a text book. Gives real life examples all the time. He was meant to do this for a living. You will not regret being apart of this. We are very happy we did it.
December 16, 2023giana gianquittiMy husband and I thoroughly enjoyed Saul's workshop. We found it to be extremely helpful in understanding how to better listen, hear, communicate and navigate conflict - especially when we... read more were in a very challenging point in our marriage. Saul is very charming and makes the lecture part of the days enjoyable through his humor and storytelling. He also does a good job at illustrating each point so that it really resonates with you so you can truly understand the significance. I honestly think that it was worth the money, especially because its a 2-day intensive course focused on your marriage. It's nice that throughout the day, you split up in couples to do couples-work based on what Saul has taught. I definitely recommend this workshop, and I will continue to apply what I learned in this course in my marriage as well as all aspects of my life. Thanks, Saul!
December 16, 2023Brock McEwenMy wife and I found the couples retreat to be of massive benefit to managing our union. Saul Stern's passion for guiding us through the process was inspiring .

My wife and I just completed the 2-day Gottman Couples Weekend Workshop in Chelsea, MA, and we are both very happy with the experience. Through the workshop I learned... read more new things about my wife and myself. We now have a much greater appreciation for one another, as well as a better understanding of the role each of us plays in our relationship, and how we can tailor our communication to foster positive dynamics even in stressful situations. In short we acquired new tools to be a stronger team together. Our instructor, Saul, was very engaging and he did a great job running the workshop. He has a lot of personal and professional experience to draw upon, and I appreciated his ability to approach the area of couples therapy with a mixture of practicality, wisdom, and humor, which really helped the lessons learned sink-in. Our instructor and the material we covered both receive an A+, I highly recommend this workshop to couples looking to strengthen their relationship.
November 16, 2023Bo QuackenbosWorth so much more than what you pay to attend.
November 16, 2023Sharon DMy husband and I completed "The Art and Science of Love" two-day workshop with couples counselor, Saul Stern. We went into the weekend with zero expectations and left with a... read more truly amazing experience. Saul is a master of this material. After teaching this for 10 years, it's clear he loves what he does. He is a wonderful storyteller with a sense of humor, which makes concepts easy to understand and remember. He gave us a framework and tools supported by decades of research by the Gottman Institute that will not only help us strengthen our relationship and manage inevitable conflict, but most importantly, navigate this crazy world we all live in today! I highly recommend this course for couples in all types of relationships, engaged, newlyweds and people in long term relationships who want to renew their connection.
November 16, 2023James PinkertonMy wife and I have been together for 5 years, married for a little over a year and for the most part things are great. Sometimes our communication (especially during... read more disagreement) breaks down. Sometimes our sex life becomes monotonous. And sometimes one of us doesn’t feel appreciation from the other. We have always been proactive in building a better relationship together. For two years we tried bits and pieces of the Gottman method (and similar exercises) but would eventually find ourselves stuck again. Saul is able to, in a very kind way, remind you that you are not unique in these situations and show you from beginning to end how to practice the Gottman method. I learned my wife and I had been practicing the more advanced exercises but had no idea about the more basic (but most important) relationship building tools in this theory. By the end of day one my wife and I felt more close than we had in months, and by the end of day two we felt confident that we are “masters not disasters”. We have all the tools we need to be successful, now we need to practice them daily to make them a part of who we are and we do not need to pay a marriage counselor thousands of dollars to eventually, hopefully find our way. I would recommend this to everyone. Even if you feel you have a “healthy” relationship, this workshop can help you unlock higher levels of companionship. Some of these practices can even be applied to better relationships with your children, friends and co-workers. 10 out of 10 - wish we had done this sooner.

Saul is the best. Do believe the hype. Passionate, engaged and inspiring. Thx Saul!!
September 16, 2023Math Loves MeI really appreciated Saul’s insight and the concentrated time to personally practice & apply the Gottman concepts
August 16, 2023DTSaul was an excellent teacher, even though my brain had to work hard to keep up with how fast he spoke. His stories from therapy experience made the material... read more come alive. His flight to the seminar was so delayed he did not sleep at all before Saturday morning, but you couldn't tell. All we saw was enthusiasm and cheering for us to succeed.
August 16, 2023Shaun KieloI highly recommend Saul Stern and the workshop that he provides couples. My wife and I attended the 2-day workshop in New Jersey and we really appreciated the practical... read more and applicable content. We continue to apply what we learned to our relationship and it has definitely benefited us. Saul Stern went above and beyond, often adding personal comments and anecdotes that took the basic course content to a higher and deeper level.
July 16, 2023 - Craig Schlumpf
This workshop was great. There is a lot of material to cover and Saul makes sure that all important points are understood, and that each couple has their questions answered... read more during the entire weekend and during each activity. He is a capable speaker that clearly has a passion for his work and it shows. I think any couple has something to gain from this workshop and I can say for certain it has made me more cognizant of my role and communication style in my own relationship. Thank you Saul!
June 16, 2023persephone persephoneI cannot say enough good things about this workshop. it was fantastic all around and exceeded expectations. we had Saul as the facilitator and he is a wonderful... read more combination of knowledgeable, personable, light-hearted, positive, energetic, wise and reassuring. he kept reinforcing that there is hope because we both made it into the room willing to learn, as opposed to other struggling couples. he also reminded us that all couples get stuck, and SOME couples LEARN to get unstuck. we loved that each couple has their own little table. you learn the concepts as a group and then do exercises only with your partner, and it's never shared with the group or Saul (unless you ask him for some guidance). To keep it private Saul put on music during the exercises so no one can hear you. One of my biggest takeaways is that there is so much in common with struggling couples, even though we all think we are unique. we learned that fight dynamics have have certain principles, themes and even roles to them. so many lightbulbs went off for me. Another very big takeaway is what ongoing attitudes, practices and rituals can exacerbate or lessen the impact of the actual conflict. I would recommend this to any couple, even the "strongest" and I would recommend it to anyone about to get married too. while the course is over we now have card decks, graphics and keywords to remind us of the principles, and so many other tools in the book. I feel very enlightened, like we are now in the know about these secret tools and principles! I think what blew my mind the most was the exercise for the last stage of repairing a conflict, in which you find commonalities of feelings and values. that was the moment we realized we really were on the same side and having the same experience even though it didn't look like it. it's also very useful to watch your partner's level of openness and engagement to what is being offered; if you are both willing to receive the information and try the exercises there is great hope. a few pieces of feedback to mention on how it could be even more awesome, even though these are extremely, extremely minor in the grand scheme: I was a little disappointed that we didn't do the "softened start-up" exercise even though it was listed in the book. it's the only thing I had heard of before the course and I knew I desperately needed it. I also recommend not letting couples leave the room to do the exercises, because my partner and I even had a fight about where to sit to do the exercise!!! if we had had to stay in the room it would have eliminated this variable 🙂 finally, I think the program could be even more awesome if they spread what they cover on the second day across two days, so as to make the whole thing 3 days. even 2.5 days may have helped. the second day was very intense with a lot of material compressed into it. Saul said they wouldn't get as many people if they made it 3 days, so I do understand that. A final thought about the pros of doing it in person: we toyed with doing it at our own pace online, or even an online but live workshop, yet I am so glad we did it in person. it would not have had the same degree of impact otherwise. I'd say run, don't walk, to it! it's a game changer, of great value and feels like the way out we have been looking for.
June 16, 2023Andrew SchillingMy Fiancée and I received the Gottman workshop as a gift ahead of our wedding. It was a fantastic experience and provided really great insights into the dynamics of a... read more relationship and the tools to build healthy habits and methods of communication. We are so much more confident in the road ahead due to this class. Saul was a great workshop leader and we would recommend this class to any couple!
June 16, 2023GregCan’t recommend Saul, his practice and his workshop enough. He clearly cares deeply about helping couples find success in building their lives together. We left the workshop with a... read more fresh view on ourselves, each other and our relationship, and with tools for making our relationship rewarding and exciting for life. I’m excited for this next journey with my wife, and thankful Saul’s genuine interest in helping us move beyond help and back to each other.

Excellent excellent excellent. It was extremely refreshing to hear the Gottman Method through Saul. After seeing many couples therapists to no avail, I finally learned something and validated things I... read more felt but could not articulate. This is science-based and there is no Hocus pocus, yet it is still extremely enlightening. Saul lives and breathes this philosophy, and you will never ever doubt his authenticity (very important to me.) I can genuinely and confidently say I would recommend this course to everyone, e.g., dating, engaged or married. This will give you a proven and sound method, not a bunch of trendy BS that really doesn't work. I loved it.
June 16, 2023Ronald HOne of the most life changing things I have ever done was attend Saul's workshop. Don't know what stroke of luck led me to find the workshop but my wife... read more and I were on the edge of divorce. We were unable to even talk about the most mundane things without an argument, living separate lives side by side. This was the last shot, to find a professional to guide us through the hurt and reconnect us as a unit. By the mid point of the last day we had opened up more profoundly to each other than at any other time together. A little over a week later we are still using the tools taught and continue growing our friendship and love. Yes, the love returned. 1 week from the last day we said "I love you" for the first time in what seems like years. Suffice to say, our marriage was probably more broken than most but IT WORKS. If anyone out there is in despair or just want to build stronger bonds just do it, no need to search further. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts Saul.
May 16, 2023ChelseyMy fiancé and I just finished the Best Couples weekend workshop with Saul. We had a hugely positive experience and feel closer/more in love as a result! Because of this... read more workshop, we both feel more confident when it comes to active listening, empathizing, and resolving conflict while strengthening our committed bond. Positive feedback: - The instructor was passionate, knowledgeable, funny and kind. - the course was very well organized. - we learned lots of tools and perspectives that we can take with us Constructive feedback: - I wonder if the course material/teachings could be updated to include different healthy relationship styles, ex) LGBTQ+, poly/ENM - I think that leaving out personal political views is important for keeping the focus on the material Overall we totally recommend this workshop for any committed couple who wishes to have a healthier, happier and more fulfilling relationship. We love the foundational philosophy of respect, friendship, trust, reliance and goodwill between partners. Thank you so much Saul and Gottman Institute!
May 16, 2023Travis DesirI want to give this 10 stars, an absolute must if you plan on staying together forever. Learning how to communicate through feelings and understand what each other bids are... read more takes your relationship to a completely different level. That is just the research side of it, Saul Stern is amazing! He took his to make sure we got the concepts and related them to real life situations. You can tell he is very passionate about what he does and the light he brings to every relationship he touches! We went for valentines day hoping to grow our relationship from some trauma that I put our relationship up against. This class has helped us maneuver conversations and get to the root of the problem so we are not shelling up (turtle) or lashingout (alligator) but that we are on the same team and this is the life choice we are making together. Thank you Gottman research! Thank you Saul Stern. The time we spent that weekend is well worth the joy and the peace for a lifetime!

Great workshop. We BOTH Learned a lot and walked away with invaluable tools to create and maintain a strong relationship. Well worth both time and money. I realized... read more the strategies can be used for other relationships as well (already using daily appreciation with my kids). We both appreciated being able to walk away with materials to use for long term (especially two workbooks that we can both take our own notes in). Saul is amazing for both one-on-one couples sessions AND in this workshop. You can tell he’s well experienced and very knowledgeable. He checked in on us and was available for questions during each breakout session. I wish the workshop was longer! 🙂

My search led me to the Gottman method, and a weekend workshop seemed the perfect place to begin. I had the highest expectations for the weekend, and I am delighted to say the workshop far exceeded them. The content was everything I hoped it would be and more...but the best part by far was Saul Stern.

March 16, 2023elaine gulatiThe weekend workshop for couples literally was the lifeline for my marriage. One week prior to attending we were talking about divorce and one day after the workshop we are... read more back on track, making plans for vacations and nites-out like we used to. We are back on track thanks to the Gottman Institute! Saul is the best couples therapist! He is like the best friend to both partners whom is positive, insightful and encouraging; which is what every couple needs at times of distress. The tools he taught us are vital in every marriage, whether weathering a storm or not. We will be certainly recommending Saul and The Gottman Institute to friends and family.

The workshop was a combination of individual exercises, and guided conversations, which provided us with the tools and skills to effectively communicate with each other, resolve conflicts, and build a stronger bond. Saul also taught us about the importance of empathy, active listening, and self-reflection, which are crucial for any healthy relationship. By the end of the workshop, my partner and I felt more connected than before. We left the workshop with a deeper understanding of each other's needs and a renewed sense of commitment to our relationship. I highly recommend this therapy workshop to anyone who wants to improve their relationship and build a stronger, healthier, and happier bond with their partner.
