Marriage Prep 101 is presented by Drs Michelle and Patrick Gannon, both licensed psychologists in private practice in San Francisco. Marriage Prep 101 is a 10 hour weekend workshop for engaged, newlywed and seriously dating couples that teaches communication, conflict resolution and intimacy enhancement skills for couples to create successful, enduring relationships. Skill-based workshops like Marriage Prep 101 have been shown in three research studies to reduce the risk of divorce by up to 30%. The best way to “divorce proof” your marriage is to create a long lasting relationship.

Drs. Michelle and Patrick Gannon draw from their combined 30 years of professional clinical experience, as well as the latest research that shows how marriages succeed or fail. They also share insights and solutions from their own marriage and family life. The Gannons have been married for 14 years and are the parents of two young boys. Patrick and Michelle know that successfully married couples need to prioritize their time together and work on their relationship in positive, proactive and intentional ways.

The Gannons have taught over 80 Marriage Prep 101 workshops to over 1200 couples in San Francisco and have presented at national conferences. Marriage Prep 101 workshops have been featured in San Francisco Chronicle, Marin Independent Journal, Contra Costa Times, Here Comes The Guide, Modern Bride and Today’s Bride. The Gannons have been guests on the Ronn Owens Radio Show, “Sex With Emily” radio/podcast and featured on the KGO- TV Perfect Wedding Guide and Evening Magazine TV. They are also contributing writers to national bridal websites and magazines. They have been awarded “Best of the Bay” by the San Francisco Bay Guardian five years in a row.
