Love Lab (original) (raw)

From it’s historic origins in 1986 at a research lab at the University of Washington, the world-renowned Love Lab, founded by Dr. John Gottman, has developed the most powerful relationship assessment available today. This evidence-based assessment is designed to help clinicians diagnose the most complex relationship challenges.

After putting thousands of marriages under a microscope, we now understand the science of relationships. Through groundbreaking mathematical models integrating nonlinear differential equations, we can reliably predict and chart the future course of a relationship. More importantly, we are now able to provide data-driven suggestions for positively adjusting the course of a couple’s life together.

Since the 1980s, Gottman has brought more than three thousand married couples – just like Bill and Sue – into that small room in his “Love Lab” at the University of Washington campus. Can a marriage really be understood in one sitting? Yes it can, and so can lots of other seemingly complex situations. What Gottman has done is to show us how.
