Therapist explains what it takes to be married, having children, and what the Gottman Theory is. What is your attachment style, what it means in your relationship and how to know if your relationship is destined to fail. 

All of that and so much more!   Attachment theory refers to a set of ideas formulated by psychologists in the 1960s that gives us an exceptionally useful guide to how we behave in relationships.   Knowing whether we are secure, anxious or avoidant in our attachment patterns gives us a vocabulary with which to get on top of some very tricky dynamics and helps us grow into more predictable and more joyful companions in love.

World-renowned relationship expert John Gottman set forth to understand why relationships don’t work, but for that, he needed to first understand relationships scientifically. Gottman then measured the behavior, perception, and physiology of couples over time to understand how love works. With that he was able to create equations for love and discern the mathematical dynamics of love. 

His science was able to predict with a 90% accuracy whether relationships would last or not.   Finally, his studies conclude that the magic of love requires calm and commitment, which in the end makes the magic of great love a bit less of a mystery.
