The Seven Principles Program for couples is a workshop based on the internationally acclaimed research of Dr. John Gottman as presented in his New York Times Bestselling book, The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work. Studies show that the Seven Principles program improves relationship satisfaction among most attendees at a fraction of the cost of traditional couples coaching and counseling.
“Dr. Murray is a wonderful presenter—funny, informative, and at-ease. He provides an exceptional talk—I’m so appreciative of his time and talent!”
— Theresa Palmer, MSW, LCSW, UNC School of Social Work
The Deluxe Package combines two Companion Workbooks, one copy of the Seven Principles book, a How to Make Relationships Work DVD, the Relationship Guides, and Love Map & Open-Ended Card Decks. The deck is a fun and effective way for couples to get to know one another’s inner lives, thus increasing closeness and friendship. This and the DVD and Relationship Guides are among the most popular additional tools to review for learning new skills and incorporating the material into their partnerships. A $69 value.

My favorite part about being a therapist is how much of a difference I make and how quickly. Some of my most successful clients were only in need of some education and some understanding but in our sessions watching the pieces fall into place for lasting happiness really makes me love doing what I do.
