The Conflict Resolution Date: This date is focused on learning how to effectively manage and resolve conflicts in the relationship. The goal of this date is to help couples develop the skills and strategies they need to effectively manage and resolve conflicts in their relationship. This date is designed to help couples build a more harmonious and supportive relationship by learning how to effectively manage and resolve conflicts. To do this, couples can practice effective communication skills such as using “I” statements, active listening, and problem-solving techniques. They can also learn how to manage their own emotions and needs in conflicts, and how to effectively negotiate and compromise with each other. This can help couples build a more harmonious and supportive relationship by learning how to effectively manage and resolve conflicts. Eight Dates: Essential Conversations for a Lifetime of Love is a book by John Gottman that provides a guide for couples to deepen their understanding of each other and strengthen their relationship through eight conversations. The book is based on Gottman’s research on couples and relationships, and aims to provide couples with the tools and skills they need to have meaningful and productive conversations about their relationship. The eight most important elements of a successful marriage are fidelity, good sex, division of chores, adequate income, good housing, shared religious beliefs, shared interests, and children. What are the signs of a thriving long term relationship? The Gottman Institute 'Love Lab' doctors reveal the golden rules of making love last. The positive switch is all about how couples positively interpret their negative events and their partner’s character, and whether in their minds on an everyday basis they maximize the positive and minimize the negative (in their partner and in their relationship).”

Amazing things happen in relationships when a couple can change and grow and accommodate the growth of the other person,” write the authors of “Eight Dates.” It’s as simple as this: “when you create meaning out of the struggles you face together, you stay together.” Try to achieve this by discussing each other’s growth several times a year, and by creating shared rituals of sacredness. Be humble and curious: whatever your partner’s idea about what growth and spirituality are, you’re there to understand and accept it, and not to prove that your ways are the right ones. Date No. 8: A lifetime of love – dreams The Gregorian calendar is a reformed version of the Julian calendar, which was itself a modification of the ancient Roman calendar. The ancient Roman calendar was believed to be an observational lunar calendar, based on the cycles of the moon's phases. The Romans were then believed to have adopted a 10-month calendar with 304 days, leaving the remaining 50 or so days as an unorganized winter. This calendar allowed the summer and winter months to become completely misplaced, leading to the adoption of more accurate calendars.

Der Input an sich ist an den meisten Stellen sicherlich sehr sinnvoll und richtig. Manchmal fühlte es sich aber ein bisschen von oben herab an und als ob die Herangehensweise der Autoren der einzig perfekte Weg wäre. Seltsam fand ich zum Beispiel, dass sie meinten, dass man nicht mit Menschen außerhalb der Beziehung über Probleme in der Beziehung sprechen soll. Das sehen wir nicht so und handhaben es auch anders.

This book walks couples through eight conversation-based dates to help them strengthen their connection and discover new things about each other. They do embrace a wide range of definitions for family and spirituality along with other topics. I was very happy to see in the family section to see that not having kids was seen as a valid life option and one to be upfront about.
