“This isn’t just a book about dates; it’s a toolkit for a deeper, more resilient love.
We’ve done the science; you just bring the snacks.”

A beautiful gift to couples

“7 Dates for Connection is a beautiful gift to couples, gently guiding them to create moments of fun, closeness, and meaning together. As a couples therapist, I appreciate that the dates are thoughtfully designed and informed by real couples therapy work, without ever feeling clinical or heavy. This is a great resource for couples who actually want to feel closer and more connected, not just talk about it.”

Refreshingly human

“The approach in this book is refreshingly human; grounded, generous, and free of pressure to “do relationships right.” With equal parts wisdom and warmth, the authors invite couples to slow down, laugh a little, and reconnect in ways that feel doable, meaningful, and genuinely enjoyable!”

— Kristie Robertson, M.Ed., Psychotherapist

A must-have

“As a psychotherapist, I’m always looking for ways couples can connect without it feeling like a chore. 7 Dates for Connection nails it—fun, simple, and grounded in real relationship science. The dates require almost no prep—you just open the book and start connecting. If you want to invest in your friendship and intimacy without it feeling like work, this is a must-have.”

— Sanjhi Gandhi, Psychotherapist, Mental Health Speaker

With humor and lightness

“The exercises are well thought out and researched and align with many different modalities of couples therapy. There’s something for everyone in this book and the exercises are explained with humor and lightness, which many couples need to help their process. I intend to share this book with my clients moving forward and expect they will have some very impactful connections on their dates.”

Engaging dates

“As a therapist, I appreciate how this book thoughtfully integrates multiple evidence-based modalities into experiential, relationship-building activities. Drawing from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, solution-focused approaches, mindfulness, somatic work, and Gottman principles, the authors translate clinical concepts into accessible, engaging dates that foster emotional attunement, shared meaning, and practical change. The result is a resource that feels both playful and deeply therapeutic — supporting couples in strengthening connection, increasing emotional awareness, and practicing new ways of being together in everyday life.”

— Nichole Henderson, RP, BA, SSW, MACP

It highlights simple, meaningful moments that help couples feel more connected, without being overwhelming. With a warm, hopeful tone, the book speaks to couples at any stage, reminding them that connection can be joyful and intentional, something they build together every day.
