777 Rule of Marriage

Dr. John Gottman, founder of The Gottman Institute, has over 40 years experience in research. In this article he has narrowed down the “777 Rule” for a happy and successful marriage. This idea is every 7 days have a date. Every 7 weeks have a night away with your spouce. Every 7 months have a vacation away. The idea is carefree timlessness together, pouring love, attention, and purposful adoration into the marriage. My favorite part is what he says further into the 4 minute reading- it is not just the schedule and routien but rather the every day little moments of love that count.
