Websites
This website has many wonderful guided meditations and practice ideas for improving your relationship with yourself over time. Visit the “Practices” tab and explore!
I often suggest couples subscribe to the Marriage Minute — these are quick ideas, sent to your email Tuesdays and Thursdays, for ways to improve your relationship. From the Gottman Website: “Over 50 years of research with thousands of couples has proven a simple fact: small things often can create big changes over time.”
