What is the Gottman Love Lab?

Inside the Gottman Love Lab: A Scientific “MRI” for Your Marriage Carrie Cole, research director for the Gottman Love Lab in Seattle, explains how couples from around the world come to receive a scientific assessment of their relationship, described as an “MRI for your marriage.” The process begins with a conversation about why they’re there and how they met, followed by measurements of heart rate, breathing, stress, and tiny facial movements. Couples then have two short conversations—one light and one about a recurring conflict—while the team analyzes interactions second by second to identify patterns that erode love or help it last. Couples receive a 27-page personalized report with practical ways to strengthen their bond, and many continue with a three-day intensive therapy session.
