About this episode

Love. What makes it work? And, keep working for life? That's where we're headed in today's conversation with legendary co-founders of the Gottman Institute a/k/a the "Love Lab," Julie and John Gottman.


Drawing upon Julie's decades of clinical observations and John's 40 years of breakthrough research with thousands of couples, they've developed stunning insights into what makes relationships work and last.

Julie and John lead The Art and Science of Love and many other workshops in Seattle and Julie has also co-designed the national clinical training program in Gottman Method Couples Therapy.


Between them, they've written a number of bestselling books on love and relationships, the latest of which, Eight Dates: Essential Conversations for Lifetime of Love, integrates their decades of collaboration into a prescription for couples to make eight dates that will bring them together and keep their relationship vibrant.
