Eight Dates

John M. Gottman, Julie Schwartz Gottman, Doug Abrams & Rachel Carlton Abrams

Eight Dates treats lasting love as a continuing practice of protected conversation, curious listening, and repeated attention. It asks how couples can stay close as trust, conflict, sex, work and money, family, play, personal growth, and future dreams change. Its guided dates turn those questions into concrete discussions, requests, and shared rituals.
