“The greatest gift a couple can give their baby is a loving relationship, because that relationship nourishes Baby’s development.”
– Drs. John and Julie Gottman, Authors of “And Baby Makes Three”
Bringing Baby Home is a workshop designed to help couples build and grow their relationship after the birth of their child.
This workshop will help couples learn skills to increase relationship satisfaction and become parents together.
A Workshop to Help Strengthen Your Marriage After Having A Baby
Bringing Baby Home Workshop
Our Bringing Baby Home workshop, based on the Gottman Institute’s research, helps couples prepare for life with a new baby and become a strong, united parenting team. In a relaxed and supportive setting, couples learn to strengthen their relationship while nurturing their baby’s development. The workshop is built around the insights of Dr. Gottman, emphasizing that the quality of friendship between partners is key to adjusting to life after a baby arrives. When parents maintain a positive and playful dynamic, their child benefits—feeling safe, smiling more, and engaging better during playtime.
What Couples Gain from Bringing Baby Home:
A stronger, more satisfying relationship, with an increased likelihood of staying together.
Greater preparedness for bringing their baby home and adjusting to new routines.
Improved teamwork in family activities and co-parenting, including enhanced father involvement and stronger father-infant bonds.
Benefits for Your Baby:
Improved language development.
Less crying.
More frequent smiles and laughter during family play at 3 and 12 months.
When to Take the Workshop
This workshop is ideal for couples who are expecting or who already have a new baby at home. The best time to take it is during pregnancy (especially the second trimester), as this often provides the time and energy needed to absorb and practice the material. However, the workshop remains valuable after the baby is born, even for those with pre-crawling infants.
Note: Babes in arms are welcome to attend!
