A great investment in your relationship!

Great workshop. Practical and deep. I learned a lot. Worth your while if you are looking to get out of negative patterns and grow!

Wow. I really wasn't sure what to expect from this weekend, but we found such growth and healing from just two short days. It taught us so much about ourselves... read more and each other, and gave us a solid roadmap to growing forward in our relationship with one another.

Saul is awesome!!!

My husband and I recently attended a couples workshop led by Saul, and it exceeded all our expectations. As a couple married for 27 years, we were looking to take... read more our solid relationship to the next level, and this workshop delivered exactly that. Saul, the counselor leading the workshop, was exceptional. He brought energy, humor, and authenticity to the program, making the valuable content and insights both engaging and relatable. His experience as a couples therapist shone through in his realistic understanding of relationship dynamics, and he shared stories that not only illustrated key concepts but also left lasting impressions for future reflection. What impressed us most was the workshop's blend of theoretical knowledge and practical application. As a scientist, my husband particularly appreciated the evidence-based approach and the practical tools provided. The Gottman program box kit we received will serve as an invaluable resource for years to come. Despite being together for nearly three decades, we left the workshop feeling reinvigorated and excited about making our relationship even stronger. The program gave us new perspectives and techniques to enhance our connection, proving that there's always room for growth in a committed partnership. Saul's guidance throughout the weekend was instrumental in creating a safe, productive environment for couples to explore and strengthen their relationships.

We are immensely grateful for this shared experience and can't thank Saul enough for his role in helping us reach new heights in our relationship. This workshop is a must for any couple looking to deepen their connection, whether they're facing challenges or simply want to enrich an already strong bond.

Saul, was great. My partner and I learnt so much. I wish we had taken this course many years ago. It would have saved a lot of arguments from happening.... read more Cheers

The material and stories were perfect for our situation, and I imagine millions of other good couple’s situations. We appreciate you beyond words. Sincerely, J&R

We were referred to this weekend couples retreat by our long time therapist. Saul was very interactive from the beginning. He answered questions and replied to messages. From the beginning... read more I found him empathetic, passionate, and understanding. The classroom time was so beneficial. Saul greeted everyone personally. We all casually spoke to each other but there is NO expected introductions, no telling about yourselves or your problems. Saul “lectured” and told all kinds of stories as examples. He is quite entertaining. Then we did exercise which pertained to our “lesson”. There is a nice box of info provided as part of the Gottman leaning. It has a workbook, cards, pamphlets etc. We broke into our own little couple group to do the exercises, some of us staying in the lecture room, some sitting by the pool and some in other areas around the hotel. Never were we put on the spot or asked to speak out loud about our situation or the answers to our work. The material was helpful from the very beginning. I highly recommend this class for any couple. No matter if in a dire “let’s end the relationship” situation or just needing a “fine tune” there is something for everyone. I want to send all of my grown children couples to Saul. Just plan it and go. There is so much to gain.

This workshop was great, and really something that my wife and I had been needing for a long time.

This was an incredible experience for us! We learned things about ourselves as individuals and as a couple that changed everything. There are many workshops out there, but not like... read more this.

We both wish we had done it sooner. Thank you Saul!

This workshop was beyond helpful and beneficial. Saul’s passion for long lasting love & relationships is obvious.

We... read more felt like we got a year’s worth of great therapy in one weekend and we’re more connected than we’ve been in years! If you’re having relationship concerns, Better Call Saul! This program works!

Saul is an engaging speaker who shares concepts about improving your marriage with kindness and clarity.

Even if you need to... read more drag your spouse it is the the best way to get away from all the distraction of life break down any barriers, open up and reconnect.

I hope more couples attend this workshop and then can display love to others in the world.

Saul has a gift. It's hard to describe how he can make everyone feel safe while explaining difficult aspects of relationships funnily and accurately. My husband was... read more visibly interested and trusting Saul's lead. Everyone should be able to take this workshop before moving together or getting married. It helps understand and develop the foundation for a healthy relationship for those willing to put in the time and effort to live a happy life with their significant other. If you are part of the LGBTQIA+ community and/or a veteran, know that Saul is a highly sensitive person who will treat you with respect and compassion.

My husband and I just attended this workshop llthis past weekend and it was absolutely amazing and exactly what we needed at this point in our relationship. Saul is amazing... read more and so down to earth. You can really feel his passion in wanting to help every couple in the room. He is funny and doesn't talk down to anyone. I think he may have saved our relationship and at the very least he helped us get to what we both needed and expected from each other. Thank you so much Saul. It was a pleasure meeting you.

I have so many thoughts about the class, I'll let my A.D.D. write my review. If your spinning your wheels, Take the class! If your in doubt? Take the... read more class! If your worried it's expensive*? Take the class! If you think it might be boring? Take the class! If your wondering if you'll learn something? Take the class! Believe me.... Take the class! I believe 90-95% of people that have taken it would say, Take the class! The other 5-10% I believe may not be open to change, even if it is for the better. Everything in life is about learning and growing, ask any older person, remember you learn something new every day. No Regrets!!! Take the class!! It really does go by quick!! "Whether you think you can or think you can't your right" -Henry Ford In order for growth and improvement small changes grow to big changes. Be patient with your partner and yourself as you learn to do the work together. I always remember in my personal journey, my therapist told me you have been this way your whole life, be gentle with yourself you're learning how to do things differently. And so I remind myself to be patient with all things new. Everything I learned this weekend really can apply to so many areas in life as well. Take the class! *If you break down the price 2 days divided by 2 people by 8 hours a day, lets just say the average Couples session is $150 and hour $150 x 8 =$1200 x 2= $2400 People in general will spend more money on anything that is not even close to as valuable as what you will get if you....Take the class! You leave the class with a manual. What you do with that manual is up to you. "Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better do better." -Maya Angelou One more thing I enjoyed about Saul, He is not teaching or preaching anything that he doesn't work on himself in his own life (journey) and in his own marriage. Everybody is on their own Journey with there own struggles. I felt his humbleness. And truly believe he has to practice what he teaches as well. For me that was a gift to realize. We are all imperfect. For that I Thank You, Saul! .......Below was how I started my review, but if you read this far I really hope you, TAKE THE CLASS!....... Wow, this is was such an insightful weekend we spent in Boca over Easter weekend. A memorable one for sure. Saul is a great speaker he adds humor and entertains with real life stories while covering the material in depth. I felt his passion for the work that he does. And I know I will forever be grateful for what I've learned. Thank you, Saul!

A weekend so so worth it!
