What is the Gottman Method?
“The Gottman Method is an approach to creating, restoring and rebuilding relationships that is based on a foundation of research. We began our work 50 years ago by studying thousands of couples, following some for decades. We wanted to answer one question: What makes relationships succeed or fail? After painstaking studies, we unearthed the answers. Based on these, we have generated exercises and interventions and proved they really work.
Our mission has been to help as many couples as possible. To that end, we have trained over 55,000 therapists and have seen over 100,000 people in our workshops. People have called us “the world’s leading experts on relationships,” and John has been called “The Einstein of Love.”
We know the COVID-19 pandemic has caused profound loneliness and disconnection in relationships. We also know that when people connect deeper and love stronger, they can enjoy an amazing quality of life. We want that for every couple, and we have the tools to help people do it.”
What is the future of the Gottman Method?
“Our future mission is to make the Gottman Method accessible to everyone through a brilliantly crafted software platform called Gottman Connect.
