Thoughtful Guidance for Couples

Very genuine, long established research based guidance on how to build and maintain solid relationships. Actionable tips to try given various situations or needs in your relationship, with encouragement. Tone is positive and thoughtful. Episodes can be watched in random order, based upon the listener’s interest. Highly recommend couples listen together.

Simple and to the point. Appreciate that everything the Gottman Institute does is based on research and works for any couple.

Anything from the Gottman Institute is gonna be worth a listen!

As I write this there are no episodes available other than the preview episode. I will say this however: I’ve read 2 books by John Gottman and they have been invaluable to me and my relationship. So if you’re a guy like me who doesn’t grasp the whole ‘relationship thing’ naturally, then do yourself a favour and hit the subscribe button. I’m convinced the knowledge shared turned my relationship around. Looking forward to the podcast!
