1 小时 17 分钟So when you think about the experience that so many people pretty much say makes life worth living, the word love tends to come up pretty often, and a ton of questions tend to follow.
How do you find it?
How do you keep it?
Can you keep it?
Is staying in love something that is mythical?
You only see it in the movies and tv.
Is it a skill set that you develop?
What are the things that tend to trip people up?
And what can you do to really build beautiful relationships that allow you to stay in love for life?
Is that even possible?
That is where I go in my conversation today with John and Julie Gottman.
They are sort of luminaries in the field of relationships and love, founders of something that has become known as the love lab, where for decades they have studied relationships, successful, disastrous, and really been able to deconstruct and figure out what are the things that go into creating and sustaining, extraordinarily beautiful in love, deeply committed relationships for long times.
They have a new book out called eight dates as well, which is really fantastic.
It is eight dates and how to have them that cover eight different topics that are super important for pretty much anyone who is in a relationship or who is looking to find that person to explore.
We dive into all of this.
We dive into their personal journeys, their individual research.
They both started out in psychology, one, though, with a very experimental mindset, and the other with a very clinical mindset, and came together to create not just a fantastic relationship and marriage between them, but also incredible professional collaboration that has benefited now millions of people.
So excited to share this conversation.
And be sure to keep tuning in to our special second weekly episode this month as we introduce you to new musicians and singers and songwriters and performers every Thursday throughout the month of May.
Super excited to bring this to you.
