Inside the Love Lab with Drs. John & Julie Gottman (Part 2)
About this episode
Dr. Laurie Santos discusses with Drs. John and Julie Gottman how couples can effectively manage conflict to strengthen their relationships.
In Part 2 of Dr. Laurie’s conversation with researchers Dr. John Gottman and Dr. Julie Schwartz Gottman, we learn how couples can raise complaints without damaging their relationship — and how to respond constructively when a partner voices a concern. Their research shows that fighting doesn’t have to pull couples apart. When handled well, conflict can actually make relationships stronger.
