What You’ll Learn: The Seven Principles

• Build Your "Love Map": Discover how to truly know your partner’s world—their history, their worries, and their dreams—so you can stay connected even as life changes.

• Nurture Fondness and Admiration: Learn how to build a "reservoir of positivity" by focusing on what you appreciate about each other, creating a powerful buffer against conflict.

• Turn Toward Each Other: Master the art of the "bid for connection." Find out how the small, daily moments of attention and kindness are more important than big romantic gestures.

• Let Your Partner Influence You: Explore the power of shared decision-making and mutual respect, and why "accepting influence" is a key predictor of a long-lasting marriage.

• Solve Your Solvable Problems: Get practical techniques for conflict management, including how to start conversations gently and how to use "repair attempts" to de-escalate tension.

• Overcome Gridlock: Learn how to navigate the "perpetual" disagreements that every couple has by identifying the hidden dreams and values behind your most stubborn conflicts.

• Create Shared Meaning: Go beyond just "getting along" to building a shared life culture filled with rituals, goals, and a deep sense of "us."
