What's the core idea of Gottman Method?

Conflict is inevitable; divorce is not. The method teaches couples to manage conflict through: (1) softening startup, (2) accepting influence, (3) repairing and de-escalating, (4) compromising, (5) building intimacy. It's practical and research-backed.

How is Gottman Method different from other therapies?

Gottman uses heart-rate data and body language, not just talk. He predicted divorce with 90% accuracy based on communication patterns. His method is highly structured and goal-oriented, not exploratory. It's effective and measurable.

Does Gottman Method work?

Yes, research shows it improves relationships significantly if both partners engage. But both must participate—if one partner isn't invested, it won't work. It requires honest vulnerability and commitment to change.
