Why "Love Maps" Matter
Dr. John Gottman, a leading relationship researcher, coined the term "Love Maps." It means knowing the landscape of your partner's inner world—their history, worries, and hopes. Couples who ask questions regularly have more detailed Love Maps and are better prepared to handle stress together.
How to Play
- Road Trips: One person reads, the other drives and answers.
- Date Night: Put phones away (except for this tool) and ask 3 questions each over dinner.
- The "Prediction" Game: Ask a question, but guess what your partner will say before they answer.
💡 Pro Tip: Follow Up
Don't just accept the first answer. The magic is in the follow-up:
"That's interesting. Tell me more about why you feel that way?"
