Book Description
What's the secret of the happiest couples out there? It's the small things in life that often have the most impact. Studies show that the happiest couples perform 100 caring behaviors for each other in one day- in his "Love Lab", John Mordechai Gottman videotaped happy couples and discovered that it's the small things: a wink, a kiss, a warm smile, an affectionate squeeze, a hug, a pinch, a kind thank you, a tender back rub, a special beloved dish, that are keeping couples together and happy. In this book you will discover: - more of these wonderful "small" things for you and your partner to gift to each other - prompts for you to start enjoying the most connected and fulfilling conversations, together, for many years to come - do this before every conversation to maintain connection and emotional safety - bucket list ideas that range from inexpensive to more luxurious - diagnostic questions to help you identify the language of love that you speak - steps for how to craft your joint relationship "mission statement" together Not sure if you can change your marriage at this point? Have other couples journals and relationship questions made you fight even more? Most journals ask difficult questions straight off the bat, leading to more arguments and uncomfortable conversations that lead to more disconnection. Because our journal was written by a marriage counselor whose goal is to keep couples together and happy, you'll not only be given prompts to answer but actual marriage counseling material on how to have "safe", emotionally connected conversations. So even if you've tried other couples journals before and "failed", hoping they would bring you closer together, you haven't tried this one! This beautiful journal, The Relationship Vision Couples Re-connection Journal is designed for you to infuse positivity and fun into your relationship, thereby also working on some of the harder aspects of your marriage without it seeming a chore. You'll go through questions and conversation prompts, one after the next - some a continuation of the question before it- with varying levels of intensity to correspond to whatever mood you and your partner are in that day. If your relationship has been struggling, start with the easier questions. If you're ready to deepen things and work on some things that you've been getting stuck on, try the harder section. As a marriage counselor with the interest of keeping couples together and happy, you will never have to worry about questions in this journal making things worse for you both as some other journals do in their line of questioning. It's too easy to get lost in the day to day responsibilities and forget each other. Stick to our instructions and guidelines for both asking and answering the questions in a way that fosters emotional safety and connection with your partner, a goal that we are excited to help you achieve through this re-connection journal! "Make dedicated, nonnegotiable time for each other a priority, and never stop being curious about your partner. Don't assume you know who they are today, just because you went to bed with them the night before. In short, never stop asking questions. But ask the right kind of questions." ― John M.
