“What makes relationships work, and why do they break down?”
MSNBC/Today Show, May 30, 2001
Those are the questions being studied at a unique research laboratory in Seattle called “The Love Lab.” Psychologist John Gottman is among those studying the everyday interactions of people in order to identify “the masters of relationships.” Learn how the masters do it by reading an excerpt from Dr. Gottman’s book, “The Relationship Cure,” through this link.

“Check In to the Love Lab”
Men’s Health Magazine, January 2000
A Seattle psychologist says he can predict divorce with 90% accuracy. Maybe it's time to put your relationship to the test. THIS DOESN'T LOOK like a typical marriage counselor's office. — by Joe Kita
 
“The truth? Men live longer and healthier if they're married. Here's how to make the love last.”
WebMD Medical News, October 26, 2000
Fourteen years ago, before psychologist John Gottman, PhD, had become one of the country's most respected marriage researchers, he was courting a woman at a seafood restaurant in Seattle. Dinner had just been served when the apple of his eye, in a grouchy mood, let loose with a nasty comment. Gottman fell to the floor, clutching his chest. From underneath the table, he moaned, "Nice shooting, partner — you got me," a line he stole from a cowboy game he used to play in an amusement arcade. When he came up from under the table, his future wife was laughing — and a tense moment was defused. This use of humor is one of many examples of how men and women can stay connected and keep their love and themselves healthy!–by Rob Waters

“Welcome to the Love Lab”
Psychology Today, September 2000

Words can heal an ailing relationship — or seal its negative fate. The way a couple argues can tell you a lot about the future of their relationship. In fact, just three minutes of fighting can indicate whether this love will flourish with time or end in ruin. –by John Gottman and Sybil Carrere
 
“Marriage can affect your health: work on it every day, 'love lab' boss suggests”
Toronto Sun, January 20, 2000
A bad marriage can kill you, says a U.S. love doctor, John Gottman. He says less than wedded bliss increases the chance of illness 35% and knocks four years off your life. -by Steve Payne

“Four warning signs of a marital meltdown”
The Seattle Times, Sunday, October 24, 1999
The relationship is more negative than positive. In marriages headed for divorce, things may be only slightly more negative than positive. But marriages that are doing well are at least five times more positive than negative. –by John Gottman
