Summary
Navigating the challenges of long-term commitment takes effort - and it just got simpler, with this empowering, step-by-step guide to communicating about the things that matter most to you and your partner. Drawing on 40 years of research from their world-famous Love Lab, Dr. John Gottman and Dr. Julie Schwartz Gottman invite couples on eight fun, easy, and profoundly rewarding dates, each one focused on a make-or-break issue: trust, conflict, sex, money, family, adventure, spirituality, and dreams.
Interactive activities and prompts provide motivation to stay open, stay curious, and, most of all, stay talking to each other. And the range - from the four skills you need for intimate conversation (including Put into Words What You Are Feeling) to tips on being honest about your needs, while also validating your partner’s own emotions - will resonate, whether you’re newly together or a longtime couple looking to fortify your bond. You will discover (or rediscover) your partner like never before - and be able to realize your hopes and dreams for the love you desire and deserve.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

just get the physical book
this hasn't been recorded, the audio is a text to speech generator and it sounds awful. I would advise just getting the book because nobody wants to sit through 5 hours or a robot voice

Awful automatic narration
Couldn’t get far into this because of the terrible robotic or automatic narration it really makes it hard to listen to

Recommended by a YouTube dating coach
Having recently met a guy via online dating I've reassociated myself with dating coaches on YT. I like this chap and want to see where it goes whilst being my best informed self. One of the coaches, Johnathan Aslay, has been recommending this book. I have valued his video content so thought I'd have a read. Glad I did. I'll use this advice. Keep your fingers crossed for me!

Not for an audiobook
Very good practical advice for intentional conversations with our partner But not very usable as an audiobook. you would really need to have the questions at hand when preparing the date, so I definitely recommend the print version.

Interesting and instructive
Easy to read and a lot of material to work on. I haven't done the proposed dates yet but it already has given me a lot to think about. Good read to anyone trying to improve their relationship.

Would have been better in hard copy
I've read a number of John Gottman's books but this was the one I enjoyed the least. I really like the concept and maybe it would have been better in hard copy because listening to someone read out a list of questions was not riveting or useful for actually answering them. There is an accompanied PDF but it doesn't seem to cover all the questions/dates so not much use.
Regarding the content itself I thought the topics of the dates started off well but then drifted and the chapters got shorter and shorter. It's given me some things to mull over and discuss but not as impactful as other Gottman books.
