We have discovered that a very powerful predictor of marital stability is whether couples, particularly husbands, allocate "Cognitive Room" for their relationship and for the world of their partner. Using this information, Dr. Gottman constructed the Love Map Exercise. This fun exercise helps couples develop a "Love Map" of their partner's world - their history, concerns, preferences and current issues. This exercise is used at the Institute's couples workshop: The Art and Science of Love. Includes "Love Map" and "Opportunity" cards and Love Map instruction sheet. --- from the publisher |
