Course Syllabus
Researchers at the Gottman Institute have studied over 40,000 couples. They can predict divorce with 94% accuracy.
That’s terrifying. But here’s what makes it hopeful: the things that predict divorce are specific, measurable, and fixable. They’re not “you fell out of love” or “you grew apart.” They’re communication patterns. Conflict habits. Unaddressed resentment that builds until it cracks the foundation.
This course teaches you what those patterns are, how to spot them in your own relationship, and how to fix them — with AI as your practice partner, mediator, and planning tool.
What You’ll Learn
This course tackles the hard stuff that actually breaks relationships:
- Money fights – The #1 predictor of divorce, and how to talk about finances without it turning into a war
- Date night revival – Reconnecting when you’ve become roommates instead of partners
- In-law conflicts – Setting boundaries without starting a family feud
- Mental load – The invisible labor imbalance that breeds resentment
- Fighting fair – Gottman’s repair attempts and the antidotes to destructive conflict
- Long-distance & busy lives – Staying connected when time and proximity work against you

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a replacement for couples therapy?
No. This course teaches evidence-based communication and problem-solving strategies, but it's not therapy. If you're dealing with abuse, addiction, infidelity, or clinical mental health issues, please work with a licensed therapist. This course works well alongside professional support.
My partner won't take this course with me. Will it still help?
Yes. Many of these strategies work even when only one partner changes their approach. You can't control your partner's behavior, but you CAN change how you communicate, set boundaries, and respond to conflict. That alone shifts the dynamic.
We don't fight much. Is this course still useful?
Absolutely. Some of the biggest relationship threats aren't explosive fights — they're slow disconnection, unspoken resentment, and invisible labor imbalances. This course addresses the quiet problems that erode relationships over time.
How is this different from the Relationship Skills course?
The Relationship Skills course covers general communication for all relationships. This course is specifically for romantic partners dealing with the hard stuff: money fights, in-laws, mental load, reconnection after disconnect, and preventing breakups.
