The Love Prescription: Seven Days to More Intimacy, Connection, and Joy by John Gottman, Julie Schwartz Gottman
4.0
The book is divided into seven things you can do in one week to help strengthen your relationship/marriage. They are 1. Make Contact, 2. Ask A Big Question, 3. Say Thank You, 4. Give a Real Compliment, 5. Ask for What you Need, 6. Reach out and Touch, and 7. Declare a Date Night.
I was particularly impressed with the sixth topic - Reach out and Touch. The Gottman's do an excellent job of normalizing that not everyone has the same needs in a relationship and that "normal" or "average" metrics about relationships are over simplified. They contextualize the information in the section understanding that touch doesn't have to be sexual and it's important to communicate with your partner what you need and what works well for you.
