January’s Art & Science of Love Couples Workshop is officially sold out—and we’re grateful for the couples who said yes to investing in their relationship this winter.

If you were hoping to join us and missed January, there is still time. We have 4 spots remaining for the April 4–5, 2026 workshop. This weekend is designed to help couples slow down, understand each other more deeply, and rebuild connection using research-based tools that actually work in real life.

If your relationship could benefit from intentional space, skilled guidance, and a shared reset—April may be the right moment. Email me at teresa@insightscc.com or visit our website under training to register or learn more.

We looked happy enough in this photo—and we were… in many ways.
And also? We were quietly carrying pressure, misunderstanding, and patterns we didn’t know how to name yet. I see that looking back at this time. I didn't take photos of the hardest times and yet in reflection, it still shows.

Commitment isn’t just about staying.
It’s about being all in. Facing the hard stuff. Finding your way through—together.
It took us years to learn that. Years of subtle disconnection and silence, not because we didn’t love each other… but because we didn’t have the tools.

The good news?
You don’t have to wait decades to get what your relationship needs. OR if you have lived this, there is a way through it to something better and more connected if you are both willing.

This is why we do the work we do.
To help couples learn to show up for each other—fully, honestly, wholeheartedly.
To build something strong, safe, and real.

🌀 Because commitment isn’t a one-time vow.
It’s a daily choice—especially when it’s hard.

Join us at our next Gottman workshop and let us help you build something even stronger than love alone.

Does it feel like you’re both fully in—especially when things get hard?

If you’ve ever felt like you’re holding the relationship together with one hand while carrying the weight of the world in the other, you’re not alone. Many couples get stuck in a cycle of "me vs. you" when the stress is high.

In this workshop, we’ll help you shift from “me” to “we”—without losing yourself in the process.

You’ll learn how to:

Deepen commitment and shared meaning

Build trust from the inside out

Strengthen your emotional safety net

Stay connected even when things feel uncertain

Gottman says a 6-second kiss is good for your nervous system and your relationship.

But when this photo was taken at our engagement party in 1993, we didn’t know that.
We were just in love, hopeful, and—honestly—unprepared for how hard marriage could be.

We didn’t get solid premarital counseling. We didn’t have communication tools. We didn’t know how to navigate conflict or create rituals of connection. And we definitely didn’t have a “6-second kiss” habit.

It took years to learn.
It took us showing up, again and again, for something deeper.

And now? I don’t just believe in this research—I live it.
As a Gottman Certified Therapist and married over 30 years, I teach what changed our marriage.

If you want to learn the tools that helped us go from surviving to thriving—join us at the Art & Science of Love Couples Workshop this January or April.

You’ll walk away with skills that last far longer than a weekend. And yes… probably more kisses, too. 💚

How long is your daily kiss?
⠀
According to Dr. John Gottman, a 6-second kiss is a small moment with big impact. He calls it “a kiss with potential”—because it’s long enough to be meaningful, and short enough to make a daily habit.
⠀
What can it do?
• Builds a ritual of connection
• Creates physical closeness and emotional safety
• Increases oxytocin (the love hormone!)
• Lowers stress by reducing cortisol
• Boosts fondness and appreciation
• Turns a simple moment into a shared memory
⠀
The 6-second kiss can lead to deeper intimacy… or simply remind you that you’re on the same team.
⠀
💡 Start a new ritual this year: Kiss each other with presence, not just habit. Six seconds might just shift everything.

We were as happy as two people could be on their honeymoon…
And we were also completely unprepared.

We didn’t have premarital counseling.
We didn’t have tools.
We didn’t know how to talk through the hard places.
We just loved each other and hoped it would be enough.

It wasn’t.

We had no idea how quickly confusion and a fight could happen after such a special wedding day...we definitely didn't anticipate it being on the honeymoon!

To become two people who could truly see each other, hear each other, and build something sacred together… it took us over 20 years.
It took failing forward, finding language for what we needed, and learning how to repair instead of retreat.

We don’t want it to take that long for you—or for the couples you love.

The Art & Science of Love Workshop is the kind of relationship education we wish we had back then.
It’s grounded in research.
It’s full of real tools.
And it’s taught by two people who have lived both the struggle and the joy.

🌀 January 17–18 in Birmingham
🌀 Private breakout rooms for every couple
🌀 Equivalent to six months of couples therapy

If you’re ready to move from surviving to thriving, this is for you.

Can you trust that your partner has your back—especially when you’re not in the room?

Trust isn’t built in grand gestures.
It’s the micro-moments—how you speak about your partner when they’re not there.
How you follow through.
How you show up again after hurt.

💡 In the Art & Science of Love Workshop, you’ll learn how to recognize and create those moments—together.

✨ This Gottman workshop is only licensed for Certified Gottman Therapists to offer, and it condenses 6 months of therapy into one transformative weekend.

📍 Join us in Birmingham this January 17 and 18

Mutual Commitment vs. Ambivalence or Threat

Commitment isn’t about staying.
It’s about showing up.

Love grows when both people are in it fully — not fearfully.

Shared Dreams & Meaning vs. Parallel Lives or Control
