Consciously create the rock-solid foundation your relationship deserves.
“The early part of a relationship, besides the fun and infatuation,
is about establishing trust and a shared future.”

Are you planning to deepen your commitment, and would you like to establish an emotionally intelligent marriage (or common law relationship) built on mutual trust?
Research by Dr. John Gottman, PhD, and others has found that the quality of interaction between committed partners is highly predictive of marital distress or divorce.
Your interactions and communications with each other are dynamic behavior factors that you can change to improve your odds of staying together and having a fulfilling life-long relationship.
“Trust is built in very small moments, which I call ‘sliding door’ moments. In any interaction, there is a possibility of connecting with your partner or turning away from your partner. One such moment is not important, but if you’re always choosing to turn away, then trust erodes in a relationship- very gradually, very slowly.”
― Dr. John Gottman
