Build love maps from "summary" of The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work by John Gottman, Ph.D.
The concept of building love maps is all about understanding your partner on a deeper level. It involves knowing their inner world - their likes, dislikes, fears, dreams, and everything in between. Think of it as creating a mental map of your partner's world, with all the important landmarks marked clearly. To build love maps, you need to engage in meaningful conversations with your partner. Ask them questions about their past, their desires for the future, and their thoughts and feelings about various aspects of life. Pay attention to their responses and show genuine interest in getting to know them better. It's not enough to simply know facts about your partner; you need to truly understand their thoughts and emotions. This requires active listening and empathy. Put yourself in their shoes and try to see the world from their perspective. Building love maps is an ongoing process. People change and grow over time, so it's important to keep updating your understanding of your partner. Check in with them regularly and make an effort to stay connected on a deep emotional level. By building love maps, you strengthen the foundation of your relationship. When you know and understand your partner well, you are better equipped to support them, empathize with them, and navigate challenges together. It creates a sense of intimacy and connection that is essential for a healthy and fulfilling relationship.
