CLICK HERE TO SEE ME TALK ABOUT “BUILDING YOUR LOVE MAPS”
I have noticed that you enjoy the quizzes I send to you. They are a powerful instrument that can be used to initiate difficult conversations with a partner. The purpose of relationship and sexuality quizzes is to know each other better, in a deeper more intimate manner.
I am hoping that despite being back in your physical work environment during this level 3 lockdown, you are maintaining more time together. Doing this enhanced John Gottman Love Map quiz together can deepen and enrich your relationship.
As a single person, quizzes provide a much-needed opportunity for self-reflection. Knowing yourself better allows for boundaries and healthier relationships. I encourage you to invite yourself to spend time doing this enhanced Love Map.
John Gottman Open-Ended Love Map Questions
Now that you understand the concept of Love Maps, we will provide you with a list of open-ended questions to ask your partner. These are questions that can’t be answered with a quick “yes” or “no.” You and your partner will take turns being the speaker and the listener. After your partner answers your question, follow up with an open-ended question of your own, then answer the original question you asked your partner. Then your partner asks you an open-ended question, and so on. These questions take longer to answer, so you don’t have to answer all of them in one sitting. This will be an enlightening way to build your love maps over time.
