Estimates by Leonard are that 36 percent of newlyweds in the United States have had a violent fight before they get married. Violence occurs so frequently in relationships in this country. One is trying to understand couple violence, and how violence occurs between two people who supposedly love each other, and have a contract to nurture and protect one another, and to support one another's dreams in a real and meaningful way. I've been working on a couple of puzzles right now. And I think of it that way, almost like a fleeting architectural fluid form that people are creating as they talk to each other, as they smile, as they move. It is like a structure that they're building by the way they interact. It's not either person, it's something that happens when they're together.

He follows up his empirical research of interviews, physiological measurements, observations, and creates mathematical models that provide theoretical understanding of all these processes. He is a psychologist who looks at relationships and focus on the interaction, the "fleeting architectural fluid form that people are creating as they talk to each other, as they smile, as they move."Īt Gottman's "Love Lab" he conducts empirical research projects that study human nature scientifically.
