How Does the Gottman Method work?
The Gottman Method is based on Dr. John Gottman’s 40 years of research on long-lasting, happy marriages. From this research, Drs. John and Julie Gottman developed the Sound Relationship House Theory.
Built on the pillars of trust and commitment, The Sound Relationship House provides a map for couples to strengthen every level of their relationship so that they can experience success and happiness.
Building Love Maps
Research found that emotionally intelligent couples are intimately familiar with each other's worlds. Staying up to date on your partner's emotional world is the friendship level of the house.
Sharing Fondness & Admiration
Gottman found that, for your partner to feel loved and respected, there must be 20 positive interactions for every 1 negative interaction.
Turning Towards Each Other
This level of the house is about recognizing and responding lovingly to your partner's bids for affection. This is where Gottman Method overlaps with Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy.
Positive Perspective
Supported by the first three levels, couples maintain a positive perspective of the relationship by making regular deposits into their partner's emotional bank account.
Managing Conflict
Happy couples manage conflict by accepting their partner's influence, dialoguing about problems and practicing self-soothing.
Creating Life Dreams & Shared Meaning
Making time to talk about your marriage, supporting each other's dreams, and creating shared meaning is a fundamental part of all happy partnerships
