— The Workshop
You don’t have to keep
having the same fight.
Created by John Gottman — called “the Einstein of Love” by Psychology Today — The Art & Science of Love is built on one thing: what actually works.
Not theory. Not guesswork. Four decades of research with thousands of real couples, distilled into skills you can use before you even get home Sunday night.
“A structured, research-based workshop where you learn together, practice together, and leave with a real plan.”
“
See for yourself why millions of couples worldwide have benefited from the Gottman Method.
The Gottman Institute
Trusted by therapists and couples in 190+ countries
— What You’ll Walk Away With
Skills. Not just insights.
Understanding your relationship isn’t enough.
You’ll leave this weekend knowing exactly what to do differently.
New Language for Old Arguments
Learn why your conflicts keep cycling — and how to break the pattern for good with concrete, research-backed tools.
Deeper Friendship & Real Intimacy
Gottman’s research shows friendship is the foundation of lasting love. You’ll rebuild it, or strengthen what’s already there.
A Physical Toolkit to Take Home
Every couple receives the Art & Science of Love Toolbox Kit — tangible materials to return to long after the weekend ends.
Live, Private Therapist Support
Roving Gottman-trained therapists are available privately during every exercise. You’re never stuck or on your own.
Research-Backed, Not Guesswork
Based on 40+ years of research with thousands of couples — the most rigorously studied couples program in the world.

— What Couples Are Saying
Real Results. Real Couples.
From Portland and the Pacific Northwest — here’s what attendees say after the weekend.
“
The Art and Science of Love presented by Sabrina Walters delivered on all that I had wished it would be. I learned new approaches to working on conflict in my marriage and learning my spouse at a deeper level by working through the conflict. Sabrina’s presentation was down to earth and easily understood. I could tell she really cared about the subject matter and more importantly, the people who needed it. I had a wonderful time learning hard stuff. That’s the biggest praise I can give.
— BETH
This workshop was recommended by my therapist as an essential tool to repair our relationship and how we speak to/treat each other. She was not wrong! This has helped put us back on the right track — together, not parallel tracks alone. Thank you, Eric and Sabrina, for getting us pointed in the right direction and giving us the skills and tools to make the necessary repairs.
