Bringing Baby Home
Becoming a parent changes your relationship in ways that can be exciting, meaningful, and challenging. Bringing Baby Home is a research-based workshop developed by The Gottman Institute to help couples prepare for life with a baby and become a strong parenting team.
Together, you’ll learn practical tools to strengthen your friendship, stay connected, navigate conflict, support intimacy, and work together as co-parents—all while creating a positive foundation for your baby and your growing family.

About Bringing Baby Home
The transition to parenthood can put new pressures on even strong relationships. Bringing Baby Home was developed by Drs. John and Julie Gottman from decades of research on couples and families.
Rather than waiting until things feel difficult, the workshop gives you practical tools to stay connected and navigate the changes of parenthood together.
What To Expect
This is an interactive, educational workshop rather than couples therapy. You’ll learn new tools, practice exercises with your partner, and have opportunities for group discussion and reflection.
The workshop is offered live online over six weeks, with the same group of couples attending each week.
Who Is It For?
Bringing Baby Home is designed for couples who are:
• Planning for a baby
• Expecting a baby
• Parenting a baby or toddler (0–3)
You don't need to be experiencing relationship problems to attend. BBH is designed to help couples prepare for and navigate the transition to parenthood together.
