About this listen

Navigating the challenges of long-term commitment takes effort - and it just got simpler, with this empowering, step-by-step guide to communicating about the things that matter most to you and your partner. Drawing on 40 years of research from their world-famous Love Lab, Dr. John Gottman and Dr. Julie Schwartz Gottman invite couples on eight fun, easy, and profoundly rewarding dates, each one focused on a make-or-break issue: trust, conflict, sex, money, family, adventure, spirituality, and dreams.

Interactive activities and prompts provide motivation to stay open, stay curious, and, most of all, stay talking to each other. And the range - from the four skills you need for intimate conversation (including Put into Words What You Are Feeling) to tips on being honest about your needs, while also validating your partner’s own emotions - will resonate, whether you’re newly together or a longtime couple looking to fortify your bond. You will discover (or rediscover) your partner like never before - and be able to realize your hopes and dreams for the love you desire and deserve.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Can't wait to recommend this book to my future SO

Loved it. I would suggest you read it slow, pause, reflect, implement 🔄
Was worth it! I know am going to come back and read it sometime again maybe with my SO. It's simple, common sense kind of things, but most of us are not aware or conscious so this is kind of basic guidelines to stay cherished and cherish your partner for a long long time! It's very much doable, caveat is do it consistently, make time for each other, make your partner your priority, weekly dates is a such good thing. I could relate to so many instances when I saw why someone is having a dead/stale/broken/damaged/irreparably damaged kind of relationships in their life, when you don't fix the root cause which might be a tiny dot initially but with time it has smeared to a big stain if not aligned with each other, most people notice it pretty late!

my 2 cents, not related to the book:
To me content that discuss on such topics, provided the sources are credible, is vital. Understanding such basic root principles, does not only benefit couple relationships, it develops you into a better person, a better friend, better parent, better children, better examples for your community, you get to know who you are as a person, what flaws you have and how to make improvements, how to grow in all aspects!
