Summary 

When working with couples, there are two essentials to long–term positive relationships. First, individuals in a relationship must feel loved and appreciated, and second, they must deal effectively with their failures. In this Webinar, renowned marriage counselor, Dr. Gary Chapman, will address both of these issues by sharing research from his best-selling book, The 5 Love Languages. He will discuss how mental health professionals can help provide clients with practical ways to express love and appreciation in a language the other person will feel. He will also review his work on The 5 Love Languages of Apology. Dr. Chapman will provide the five most common ways couples tend to apologize and why most apologies miss the mark. In conclusion, this Webinar will address what forgiveness does and does not do and ways to help couples practice forgiveness in their marriages.
