Current Projects:

2008:

• Summer 2008 we'll begin by continuing John Gottman's research on couples, specifically examining the physiological overwhelm same-sex couples (gay and lesbian) experience when discussing infidelity.

2009:

• Each year more same-sex couples become parents. Nearly two-thirds of heterosexual couples report a decline in the happiness of their marriage after the birth of a child. During 2009 we'll begin researching same-sex parents to investigate if the same decline in relationship happiness occurs.

2010:

• In conjunction with the Gottman Institute in Seattle, WA, we will be measuring the efficacy of our weekend workshop at 1-month, 3-month, and 6-month intervals, as compared to couples who do not take the workshop.
