In this classic episode, Dr. Laurie speaks with two of the world’s most influential relationship scientists, Drs. John Gottman and Julie Schwartz Gottman. In their renowned “Love Lab,” the married researchers have studied thousands of couples, identifying the subtle interaction patterns that predict whether partners will drift apart or stay happily together for decades. They join Dr. Laurie to share what we can learn from these “Masters of Relationships” — and how to build partnerships resilient enough to withstand life’s inevitable stresses and strains.

  • Pushkin One of my favorite things about hosting this podcast is having a chance to meet longtime fans of the show I love hearing what listeners

  • like you take away from different episodes and answering burning questions But there's one question from long-term listeners that I get a lot It's this is there an episode that you as the host returned to again and again?

  • one that has advice that you continue to need even as an expert on this research?

  • That, of course,

  • is a tough question to answer

  • because I love pretty much all the episodes we've had a chance to share with you.

  • But there is one pair of episodes that I do come back to again and again,

  • especially when I've been thinking about the science of relationships,

  • as we've been doing over the past few shows.

  • It's a double episode that I did with John and Julie Gottman,

  • a scientist couple who spent over 50 years studying the science of love.

  • So in honor of this season on the science of relationships,

  • I wanted to share this set of episodes one more time.

  • In the first episode, which you'll hear today,

  • the Gottmanns share what research shows about the surprising power of attention and curiosity

  • for strengthening our relationships.

  • You'll get to hear all the Gottmanns' insights right after the Happiness Lab returns from this quick break.

  • Research shows how often our intuitions lead us astray.

  • When I started thinking about AI and how much time we're spending with it,

  • I wondered if we're paying attention to what's shaping those conversations.
