John and Julie come to see you for therapy. They are a nice couple, mid-thirties, have one son. But now, they are finding that they do not feel they know each other all that well. As a Gottman therapist, you might suggest:
  1. Permission for things to go back to the way they were
  2. Constructing a couple’s reality together
  3. Building a love map
  4. Sending the kids away for one night
Explanation
Answer - C - Much like behavioral therapy’s concept of reciprocity, where one person does for the other, the couple puts together a map of what would help them in feeling most appreciated from one another and give specific examples of potential outcomes that would indicate increased happiness. Such direct explanation increased communication and problem-solving skills between the couple.
