Bringing Baby Home is a 12-hour workshop developed by The Gottman Institute to support couples in maintaining and strengthening their relationship during the transition to parenthood. This workshop provides couples with practical skills to preserve relationship satisfaction as they navigate the challenges of becoming parents together.
Created by renowned relationship experts Drs. John and Julie Gottman at The Relationship Research Institute in Seattle, Bringing Baby Home draws on the Gottmans’ extensive research, which reveals that the arrival of a baby often leads to a significant decline in relationship satisfaction.
