About the Presenters
If you are looking for the perfect marriage, you won’t find it here.
What you will find are two people who’ve learned the hard way what to value and how to partner regardless of life’s interruptions. Jayna and Mike Haney married in 2001, each bringing two children from previous marriages of 11 and 8 years, respectively.
With nearly 40 years’ of marital experience between them (!), they know exactly what it is like to experience the frustration, hopelessness, fear, and hurt that can often derail intimate relationships.
Having now been married to each other for almost two decades, Jayna and Mike will guide you with their own combination of laughter, wisdom, and straight talk and provide demonstrations that share some of their personal “light bulb moments” about a real life, imperfect, still passionate, happily married couple. Mike and Jayna will leave you laughing, enlightened, hopeful, and more forgiving of yourself and your partner.
Jayna and Mike have enjoyed educating and working with couples and singles since 2002. They are trained and certified as Gottman Leaders. Jayna is an experienced coach and therapist, and Mike is an energy executive. They are looking forward to meeting you.

Couples that this workshop is not suited for:

- Untreated serious mental health problems in one or both partners
In these situations, a trained mental health provider can be recommended to help you and your partner.
The workshop format provides benefits:
- Structure, motivation, and accountability to continue working through the
book - With busy schedules, it is easy to let the exercises slide
- A class format encourages more active involvement and participation
- Encouragement to work on one’s relationship alongside other couples doing the same thing
- Class format encourages both partners to work on their relationship – rather than one partner reading the book alone without the other’s participation
For some couples, the Seven Principles Workshop may be less threatening than seeking couples therapy. It fits into an enrichment adult education model that couples may be familiar with.
The Seven Principles Workshop is not therapy. However, it can soften the entry into working on your relationship. It can also become a bridge into therapy for those couples that desire more personal assistance than the class can provide.
