Episode notes

prepare yourself by talking a lot about really important questions for example how should we discipline our kid do we use corporal punishment or not that's a big one. If our kid wants to change genders or be transsexual will we support that or not as our kid gets older? lining up a support system is really a good idea having friends who have already had kids can help support you through the process let me provide a little different answer uh so the first book that julie and i wrote together was called and baby makes three and it was based on this story.

What makes for a loving relationship that lasts? For over 40 years Drs. John and Julie Gottman have devoted their life to answering this question with the research and practice of fostering healthy, long-lasting relationships. Through studying thousands of couples, publishing over 200 academic articles, more than 40 books on the topic and co-founding the Gottman’s Institute, John and Julie have created interventions to change the way that couples relate to each other to help people succeed in the future of their relationships. In the conversation, John and Julie give me a masterclass in everything there is to know about building long lasting relationships, we cover the four key reasons why relationships fail, communication strategies, rituals to cultivate deeper connection and their latest book The Seven Day Love Prescription which distills their work into a seven-day action plan for deeper intimacy. Enjoy :)
