Marriage maintenance
Your relationship deserves care, not just crisis management.
Knot Maintenance offers psychoeducation and tools for couples who want to invest in their relationship — before things unravel.
"Tending to your relationship before it needs repair."
What the research says
Small shifts. Lasting change.
The Gottman Ratio
Thriving couples maintain a 5:1 ratio of positive to negative interactions. Small moments of warmth add up to lasting connection.
Repair Attempts
The ability to de-escalate conflict — not the absence of it — is one of the strongest predictors of relationship health.
Bids for Connection
Every day, partners make small bids for attention and affection. Learning to turn toward them changes everything.
Erotic Intelligence
Sexology research shows that desire thrives on curiosity and novelty. Understanding your erotic blueprint deepens intimacy far beyond the physical.
Sexual Communication
Couples who talk openly about sex report higher satisfaction and stronger emotional bonds. Pleasure is a conversation, not a performance.
Intimacy & Attachment
Our attachment styles shape how we give and receive pleasure. Sex education rooted in attachment theory helps couples feel safe enough to be fully present.
