What is Gottman Method?

An effective approach, Gottman method is based on the idea that every couple has a fight cycle. The outcome of the fights and the time it takes for a couple to resolve their concerns is related to how well they communicate. This method focuses on how couples communicate, how they deal with conflict, and how they handle themselves during disagreements.
