The #1 Predictor of Divorce is Not What You Think | John Gottman's The Relationship Cure

Video Description:

What if the secret to a lasting, happy relationship wasn't found in grand romantic gestures, but in the tiny, seemingly mundane moments of everyday life? What if you could learn to see the hidden emotional bids your partner is making every day—and know exactly how to respond?

This is a complete, in-depth summary and analysis of Dr. John Gottman's groundbreaking book, "The Relationship Cure." Drawing on decades of rigorous scientific research from the famous "Love Lab," Gottman provides a 5-step program that dissects the very architecture of emotional connection. We're going far beyond simple tips; we're exploring the biological drivers behind our needs, the hidden "Emotional Command Systems" that dictate our reactions, and the "Emotional Heritage" from our childhood that shapes our adult relationships.

Discover why seemingly trivial interactions are the single greatest predictor of relationship success or failure, learn the devastating physical health consequences of a disconnected relationship (including a potential 4-year decrease in life expectancy), and master the practical tools to turn toward your partner, build a foundation of trust, and create shared meaning that lasts a lifetime.
