This deck of cards for couples helps partners connect emotionally, and increase intimacy and understanding in a fun, gentle way.

Research shows that a powerful predictor of relationship stability is whether couples allocate “mental room” for their partner’s world. This means having a mental map of the relationship and its history, and knowing each partner’s past and present concerns, preferences, experiences, and reality. Make your “map” with these cards — they bring you closer by getting to know each other in ways you may not have realized were important.

Gottman Method Couples Therapy is designed to disarm conflicting verbal communication, increase intimacy, respect, and affection, remove barriers that create a feeling of stagnancy in conflicting situations, and create a heightened sense of empathy and understanding within the context of the relationship.

Drs. John and Julie Gottman developed nine components of healthy relationships known as The Sound Relationship House Theory.  The first of these components is how building Love Maps helps partners connect emotionally.
