21 : The Gottmans LIVE

Happy Labor Day and welcome back to Circle of Willis! This episode celebrates the labor of love with a conversation between Jim Coan and Drs. John and Julie Gottman. It was recorded in 2019 at a live event hosted by Fountain Books in Richmond, Virginia to celebrate the release of their book Eight Dates: Essential Conversations for a Lifetime of Love. Through their extensive research and observation of couples, the Gottmans outline the importance of communication and the acceptance of conflict in a strong relationship. Using their own relationship experiences, they condense their findings into a handful of basic tenets that are easily understood, but sometimes a challenge to adopt in practice. Love is hard work! After a long hiatus, this podcast is back with a bang...and a new producer : Sage Tanguay. Look for new episodes every other Monday from here on out!
