Happily Ever After
A weekend intensive for engaged & newlywed couples
Join us for a transformative weekend that will change the way you think about marriage.
This 3-day workshop offers powerful insights and tools from The Gottman Method to set your relationship up for success. Led by relationship experts Dr. Meghna Mahambrey and Andy Kuss, you'll enjoy an educational and entertaining weekend with your partner, meet like-minded couples, and walk away with clarity and confidence in your ability to navigate your marriage.
You've spent months planning your wedding; now let us help you plan your happily ever after.
Hey family and friends!
Looking for a meaningful wedding gift for the happy couple? Skip the toaster oven and give them a gift that keeps on giving. Email us and we'll provide a beautifully wrapped gift certificate. Registration is transferable to other dates.
WHAT IT IS: An intimate 3-day couples’ premarital workshop exploring powerful insights and practical tools from the best-selling book “The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work.”
WHO IT'S FOR: Couples who are seriously dating and considering marriage, already engaged, or have been married less than 5 years. We warmly welcome couples of all ages, races, religions, sexual & gender identities, and those who are remarrying.
WHEN & WHERE: There are three offerings this year: June 20-22, July 18-20, and August 22-24. Each weekend, we’ll meet Friday 7-9pm, Saturday 10am-4pm, and Sunday 10am-4pm at SPARK Relationship + Sexual Wellness in the heart of Old Worthington.
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: This inspiring and interactive weekend goes beyond generic advice; you’ll walk away with valuable evidence-based strategies to improve communication, deepen intimacy, and navigate conflict effectively based on The Gottman Method.
WHAT'S INCLUDED: A copy of the book along with a couple's workbook filled with exercises for you and your partner to complete throughout the weekend. All meals and refreshments will be provided (see below for details), along with a few fun surprises.
WHY IT MATTERS: Most couples feel optimistic at the time of marriage, yet unfortunately, research shows 50% eventually divorce. Proactively invest in your relationship now to gain the knowledge and skills needed to make love last.
WHO WE ARE: Award-winning instructor, TEDx speaker, and Gottman-certified expert Dr. Meghna Mahambrey and her husband Andrew Kuss are relationship coaches, co-founders of SPARK, and have a podcast, blog, and Youtube channel.

Frequently Asked Questions
How old are the other couples attending?
All adults are welcome, though SPARK events typically attract those between ages 25-45.
Will we have to participate?
You'll be invited to introduce yourself, share stories, and engage in discussions, but you will never be asked to disclose sensitive or uncomfortable information to the group. Please be prepared to actively participate in several exercises with your partner, privately.
Do we have to read the book before attending?
Nope! We'll provide thorough overviews of each chapter and guide you through the exercises - you will, however, receive a copy of the book and may benefit from reading it together down the road.
What if we can't attend one of the days, or part of a day?
Couples are strongly encouraged to attend all three days so they don't miss out on critical information. We are offering this intensive three times this year, please choose the weekend that works best for you.
What if we can't afford it?
We understand the investment may be beyond your personal budget, which is why we encourage couples to put it on their "registry" :) Let family and friends know how much it means to you and invite them to chip in - no one wants your marriage to succeed as much as your loved ones.
