Why research relationships?

The Gottman Institute,  The Relationship Research Institute, Gottman Method Couples Therapy, and Dr. Gottman’s numerous best-selling books have all stemmed from Dr. Gottman’s 35-year career as a research scientist whose methods and standards are as rigorous as those used by medical science.  The data generated by Dr. Gottman’s research offer a scientifically-based glimpse into the anatomy of marriage and couples relationships – but most importantly they provide us with factual, objective information that has contributed to the development of tools, methods, programs, products, and servicesdedicated to helping couples build stronger, happier relationships.
