They said

By attending this workshop you will absolutely learn more about your partner and will understand more about why something is or isn’t working in your relationship.

Christina, psychotherapist, lesbian partnership

I have known Murray for over 20 years. He exemplifies all of the attributes that are so valued in a therapist. I would highly recommend Murray as a therapist and presenter.

Deborah S (therapist, former couples client)

I understand why I need to control my frustration with my partner and be more patient in helping him understand my perspective.

It's one of the most practical and effective workshops I've ever done.

Lorena, Therapist, married 32 years

This class properly identifies issues that many relationships endure and gives proven techniques of how to work through those challenges together as a couple acting for the betterment of the relationship.

Chad, married 5 years

Murray and Allie taught me that a successful relationship is not defined by each of us having stopped all the things that made the other mad. It's knowing how to kindly respond when someone messes up.

Class has been a catalyst to our relationship working.

Christine, married 5 years

I catch myself thinking "what would Allie want me to do" in certain situations and her advice and insight has benefited me greatly. I cannot say enough good about the fabulous Allison Caffyn. Trust her and the process!

GG, entrepreneur

I saw Murray for relationship help. Murray is awesome! He is so easy to talk to. He always comes up with positive unique ways to look at situations. The center is a very wonderful place!

Leah O (Client)

I think every couple before marriage should take this class. Our arguments declined and we were able to bounce back.

Meg, teacher, married 6 years

Excellent guide to relationship, eye opening

Gwen, social worker, 1 year partnered, trying to figure the future out

This class helped implement great exercises and practices for our marriage. I will make an honest effort to really focus using "I" instead of "U" conflict can be great, it's just how you do it.

Sydney, married 3 years

Coupling is hard work

When love is new, it seems as though the devotion and compassion you feel for your significant other knows no bounds. As your relationship progresses, through your combined efforts and the magic of personal chemistry, this initial infatuation may grow into a partnership that withstands the test of time.

But the road to happiness is not without its twists and turns.

Inevitably, all couples experience their own unique trials and struggles. Personal differences surface. Careers and family issues intrude. Personalities change when things take an unexpected turn, and now you’re feeling confused, angry and hurt, sometimes all at once.

Yet these occasions offer the opportunity for greater growth and connection.

The task, then, is to embrace conflict, to normalize the challenges that will certainly arise.

That’s where we come in.

At the Couples College, we work with every age, ability level and sexual orientation to help you:

Grow closer to your partner
Re-establish trust, friendship and commitment
Manage conflict in a fair and caring way
Restore your faith in the future of your relationship
Manifest the relationship you dream about
