The promise of 8 Dates
“69% of the things you and your partner argue about will never be resolved.
Not in a year. Not in ten years. Never.”
Based on the research of Dr. John Gottman, Ph.D., & Dr. Julie Schwartz Gottman, Ph.D.
It doesn’t matter.
Happy and unhappy couples have the same arguments.
The difference has nothing to do with what they argue about.
It’s whether you try to understand why your partner feels that way.
The argument about money is never really about money.
It’s about what money means to each of you.
Every recurring argument has something deeper underneath.
The couples who last are the ones who look for it.
Insights from Dr. John & Dr. Julie Gottman,
after studying 3,000 couples over 40 years.
They wrote a book called Eight Dates
A full date night on each of these topics:
You read the chapter together,
do the exercises on your own,
and have the guided conversation.
Couples take weeks or months to finish all eight.
We turned each of those 8 topics into conversation games.
Likely To
No reading. No prep. Just 15 minutes with your partner.
The full series is on our page @seesaw.social
These games cover the same 8 topics.
Just simpler. And hopefully, more fun.
But if you want to go deeper on any of these topics, the book is worth reading.
Dates
for a Lifetime of Love
It gives you the full framework to work through it together.
Eight conversations every couple needs to have, from the book that started this series.
