35 分钟You're listening to How to Be a Better Human.
I'm your host, Chris Duffy.
When it comes to how to have a healthy marriage or relationship,
today's guests literally wrote the book, or actually several books.
I have read many of them myself, and it has sincerely made a big impact in my marriage.
For over 50 years,
doctors John and Julie Gottman have devoted their life to the research and practice of fostering healthy,
long-lasting relationships.
What does that take?
How do we handle everything from jealousy and resentment to loading the dishwasher or picking what we're going to eat for dinner?
I traveled to Portland, Oregon to interview the Gottmans on their home turf.
And in addition to this podcast episode,
we've also got a complimentary episode of our video series that is up on Ted's YouTube channel,
where you can see John and Julie work through tough listener submitted relationship questions in real time.
And also you can see how just adorable and loving they are with each other.
Check that out after you listen to this.
But for now,
let's start this conversation about relationships with a clip from the Gottman's TED Talk.
In this talk,
they are explaining what the research shows on how to navigate the inevitable conflicts that are going to arise in any relationship.
