Welcome to week 1!

Before we begin

• Ensure you have downloaded your Couple's Workbook. This can be found in the "Your Workbook" lecture in the Introduction section
• Join the Zoom call a few minutes early - instructions on how to do this are in the "Zoom Joining Instructions" lecture in the introduction section. There is more detail there on how to join anonymously.
• Take a moment to turn your phones off, shut the door and claim the next 1.5 hours as your time, dedicated to your relationship. Feel free to dim the lights, light a candle, pour a drink.

So what are we looking at this week?

• Getting to know each other:
• You'll meet Pam, your facilitator. She's a relationship therapist and Gottman Leader.

• How the research can predict divorce with over 90% accuracy.
• And then learn about and experiment with the first principle:
• Understand your partner on deeper levels by enhancing your love maps together
• You'll have a chance to practice enhancing your love map
