For those who have a hard time listening because they feel the narrative is too fast, you can slow down the playback, at least if you’re listening on an IPhone or using Apple’s Podcast feature. I typically listen at 1.25% just to go through podcasts faster! (Not THIS one, though)

This is great I’m so happy I discovered I had no idea about this format via podcasts. Great practical tips on how to strengthen your relationship with your partner -not too much to digest or put into action Thanks

I have been listening to this podcast for a while and no new episodes have been released for almost a year. Why no new material? This is my favorite podcast.

First this is listed as John and Julie gottman’s podcast- NOPE! It’s someone reading stuff they supposedly wrote. There is no way that, I have found to reach the authors and ask any questions about their work. I have bought books and a program….and now I see there are just continuous commercials….we are not people they want to help we are dollars in their pockets…..

Someone wrote poorly of the narrator, but she has a fantastic and soothing voice. And obviously, these 3 minute tidbits are very helpful and digestible if needing a quick relationship pick me up.

Please get a new, real, authentic narrator voice! Great tips!

I like reading the Gottman’s research, and I was looking for relationship podcasts my husband and I could listen to— so we gave this one a try. After listening for probably a month, I’m not very impressed. It sounds to me like the podcast is taking corollary data from research and assuming a causal relationship. Then it’s going a step further and turning that data into prescriptive advice. It’s basically the equivalent of finding in research that healthy people tend to be thin, then assuming that they are healthy BECAUSE they are thin (wrong), and then telling people “If you want to be healthy, be thin!” Wrong wrong wrong. People already get the message all the time that they should be thin, just telling them to “be thin” #1 doesn’t help at all, because if they knew how they already would and #2 the data doesn’t indicate than thinness causes health. Sorry for all the jargony language but that’s what I feel is happening. The last episode I listened to literally suggested that you should say “we” instead of “I” or “me” when talking about things because that will make your relationship happier….. what??? That does not sound right. It sounds like they found in the research that happy couples tend to do that…. But that doesn’t mean it leads to happiness. And I can think of a few good reasons to maintain your “I” and “me” in life. There have been a lot of pieces of “advice” like that, but I wanted to listen for a while to give it a chance. Chances are up. TL;DR: I don’t think this podcast has good advice. I will be looking for a different one.

Love love love all these tips for couples. Very practical and helpful. It’s hard for me to listen routinely because the narrator has a voice and tone that is very difficult to listen to. Please get a new narrator. Thanks!

These tips are so helpful in all relationships. They are bite size which is so helpful in this busy world.

Lots of helpful tips on maintaining relationships. Like the short and frequent format. This approach that they recommend to life

Highly recommend listening to this podcast. Concrete, specific ways to help your relationship. Every episode gives great examples and is so easy to understand. Implementing and changing those behaviors is the hard part!

I recommend this podcast to someone nearly every week.

Every episode is based on scientific research yet short enough to help you implement the concepts the very same day. Either party or both from every couple will learn something that will bolster the foundation of your love relationship.

More, please!!

The info is good but the narrator makes it hard to listen. She sounds super young and like she’s talking to a child.

Miss hearing new episodes Hopefully you have new ones! Love this podcast 👍👍

I love the tid bits given in each episode. They are so helpful and insightful.

Love the content but it gets lost because the narrator is talking extremely fast, as though it is on fast forward. It was too distracting for me to continue listening.

I find the tone of voice of this woman to be super annoying. She is trying to be conversational and intimate but it comes off as hokey and a bit patronizing all at the same time. I’m sure the content would be helpful (though some of it sounds easier said than done) but I end up just getting annoyed when I listen.

I can’t recommend this podcast enough!!! As a therapist, @drlaurameyer, I share this resource virtually everyday with clients struggling to reconnect following the transition to parenthood. It offers actionable advice in a bite size pieces (5 minutes or less).

Thanks to the host for sharing Gottmans’ research based tips for relationships. We would love to know your name after listening to your voice for a year.

Relationship advice from Gottman is absolute gold. This podcast is a gem!

Long form please. Episodes 1hour long please

Quick tips to help you through various conversations and scenarios. So helpful.

Thanks for putting this together

Great advice packaged into quick segments.

We just found this Podcast and so sad to see no new episodes. Please come back.

I love how only for a few short minutes I can gain so much information and tools to help improve my relationship. I love engaging with my partner on the topics after I listen

I love that this podcast is to the point when I want to be inspired but have less time. It gives a new perspective for a quick change of thought.

I love this podcast! Very helpful and practical info. Helps my boyfriend and I immensely. I’d give a 5 star but downgraded to a 4 star because the narrator speaks entirely way too fast. I appreciate the aim of keeping the episodes short and sweet but the fast-forward nature makes it difficult to digest (and enjoy) the information.

The basic truth given serves as positive encouragement to life! I appreciate these brief insights, based on research, that can impact my day to day living.

Good information. The narrator has a nice voice but it doesn’t feel appropriate for this content. The gravity of this information is being lost through it.

I love how short they are - able to get in and listen to a few and get out without it feeling too heavy. Great work!

I really enjoy the information provided but I think they are TOO short. Try using all 5 minutes please. I know it would be beneficial for me.

I like the podcast a lot, but it sounds like it is in fast forward?

These short teachings have truly helped me love my husband better because I can communicate with him better. Healthy communication was not my strong suit coming into our marriage, and the Gottman Institute was recommended to me during marriage prep. I have watched all the YouTube clips I could find, and now consider the weekly podcasts an essential part of my week. I listen to them so that I can grow as a whole person, especially in my role as wife:) If you can continue to share how to handle having conversations after a long day at work would be great. Also, any tips for juggling family holidays would be appreciated.

Bring a fan of Gottman books and methods, I was very excited to find a podcast from the institute. The daily tips given are no nonsense s as nd based on actual research. I also enjoy that I don’t have to set aside a chunk of time to listen like other podcasts. Short, sweet and positive and impactful podcast. Keep up the great work!

Thank you!

Thank you for this!!! Simple but powerful!

Listen and make your day and self better for it. :)

I love having quick tips available from one of the leading research institutes on marriage and relationships! Hope to see more Podcasts from The Gottman Institute!

I look forward to new episodes! They are quick and up-beat, addressing real relationship issues with practical suggestions.

Small tidbits of information to improve all of your relationships.
