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.
