The Love Prescription: Seven Days to More Intimacy, Connection, and Joy (The Seven Days Series Book 1)

From relationship scientists Dr. John Gottman and Dr. Julie Schwartz Gottman comes a seven-day plan to strengthen relationships. Drawing on forty years of research involving over three thousand couples, the authors have studied body language, conversation patterns, and stress hormone levels to identify the foundations of lasting love. The Love Prescription condenses this research into a practical, seven-day action plan requiring no preparation or special purchases. Each day focuses on a specific exercise: making contact, asking a big question, expressing gratitude, giving a genuine compliment, stating needs, physical touch, and planning a date night. The authors argue that small, consistent changes can meaningfully improve relationships. The plan is designed to be accessible to anyone, regardless of their starting point, without requiring grand gestures or difficult conversations.
