And yet Gottman-trained therapist Bob Good describes emotional intimacy as "the power washing system to heal every relationship that is going through some type of heavy turmoil." People in relationships need listening, understanding, validation, and empathy.
He also offers specific steps toward healing for couples struggling with infidelity as well as the "4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse" that Dr. Gottman teaches are the most common heralds of doom to marital happiness. If you want a stronger marriage, check out this episode.
