The pre-marital work that I do includes focusing on
the research findings of John Gottman, the qualities of a successful
marriage that he has identified from the past 25+ years of research
at the University of Washington and the Gottman Institute. I also
use "Developing Habits for Relationship Success" that is the focus
of Brent Atkinson's work, "Relational Recovery Therapy", the work of
Terry Real and John Van Epp's "Relationship Attachment Model". All
of these models fit very well with the Gottman research.
Mostly it is laying the ground work for what sort of issues a couple
might expect in the future and to help them understand the benefit
of recognizing these issues early in their relationship. In
Pre-marital Therapy I work with teaching skills and understandings
needed in creating a mutually successful, intimate relationship.
Pre-Marital Therapy also introduces couples to an environment that
will be available to them in the future of their marriage if they
believe it would be beneficial to expand on their marital skills as
they encounter difficult relational situations.
