If you’ve ever thought, “We love each other, so why does it still feel this hard?” Drs. John and Julie Gottman have the answer. They were the first psychologists to turn relationship dynamics into hard science. John became famous for predicting divorce with over 90% accuracy by watching couples in his “Love Lab,” while Julie brought clinical application and compassion to the method. Their work revealed the exact patterns that destroy relationships and, more importantly, the skills that rebuild them.
