Summary

John and Julie Gottman are two long-practicing psychologists and the founders of the aptly named Gottman Institute. Even if you aren’t familiar with their names, you’re likely familiar with the work they’ve done on relationships, including their groundbreaking relationship assessment tool, The Love Lab. (The Gottmans aren’t sponsoring this episode. We’re just fans.) Today, your hosts Therapy Jeff and Sarah Rice are breaking down Six Stages of Relationship Growth as outlined by the Gottmans–from falling in love to keeping that love alive years down the line (and how to avoid what the Gottmans call the “Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse” in your relationship along the way). Whether you’re still looking for your person or you’ve been married for decades, this list is such a helpful resource for folks in all stages of relationship. Let us know what you think!
