It's a private, self-paced way to learn and practice the skills that make relationships stronger, with lifetime access to everything.
Learn Directly From the Gottmans
The Relationship Builder gives couples access to teaching from the Gottmans on the relationship concepts and skills they've spent decades researching and teaching to couples and therapists.
You'll learn the principles behind the Gottman Method and see how those principles apply to everyday relationship challenges.
The videos are short, practical, and designed to be watched together.
See What Healthy Relationship Skills Look Like

You'll see funny, relatable examples of what goes wrong, followed by heartwarming examples of what happens when couples get it right. Seeing the difference makes the skills easier to understand and gives you a model to follow in your own relationship.
