from? Why does some love last, and why does some fade? With a gift for translating scientific ideas into insightful and practical advice, the Gottmans share their research about love and what it takes to develop a trustful and intimate bond. Julie is the co-founder and clinical director of The Gottman Institute, and clinical supervisor for the “Couples Together Against Violence” study. A highly respected clinical psychologist, she is sought internationally by media and organizations as an expert advisor on marriage, sexual harassment, rape, domestic violence, gay and lesbian adoption, same-sex marriage and parenting

John has spent decades observing the conversational patterns and biorhythms of couples. Now he applies this research to fundamental questions about trust and betrayal.
