Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• I keep waiting to feel loved enough or seen enough to feel like my life means something, and it never quite fills
• In the bleakest moments, when nothing feels like a reason to keep going, no argument or pep talk reaches me
• There’s a particular person I love who’s heading into something I’ve already lived through, and I want to hand them what I actually learned
• My body can’t do what it used to, so I keep grieving everything I can no longer go and accomplish
• Beautiful things keep happening right in front of me

Couples who maintain rich, updated love maps navigate conflict and life transitions with far less friction; the research basis is Gottman's observational couples studies, which are correlational.
