Everything here does one thing: it gets the two of you talking.
Five volumes of guided questions, the Master Edition that holds all of them, a card deck you can print tonight, an app, and a 90-day program for the partner who is ready first. Ordered by what is happening in your relationship, not by what sells.

The app · iPhone and Android

The Card Deck
150 questions in three levels: Curious, Closer, and Honest. Every one is new, and none of them appear in the books. It prints on 17 sheets of ordinary paper, with a pass rule on every card and a page for what to do if a question opens something bigger. Most decks go deep without a safe way to handle what comes up. This one was written by a therapist.

Shelf three · If you want a plan
Start With You
You cannot force your partner to change or drag them to therapy. The good news is you do not have to. Start With You is a book, a 90-day guided journal, and eight short videos that show one person how to shift a relationship individually, using the research of Dr. John Gottman, Dr. Sue Johnson, and Dr. Sara Algoe.
