The Our Home Our Family curriculum is built on over 30 years of research by Dr. John Gottman, who is nationally known for his work on relationship building. Dr. Gottman has been studying relationships and helping couples build healthier relationships throughout his professionals career. Curcciulums developed through the work of Dr. Gottman include Loving Couples Loving Children, used by many agencies as part of the Healthy Marriage initiative of the U.S. Dept of Health and Human Services, and Bringing Baby Home, a curriculum for parents of a new baby focusing on marital relationships.

Loving Couples Loving Children Inc., part of the Gottman group, has been providing the above training curriculums to governmental, non-profit and for-profit organizations throughout the U.S. and the world since 1978. Loving Couples Loving Children, Inc. has consistently utilized research to drive improvements in satisfaction and outcomes for its curriculums.
The Our Home our Family curriculum has been developed utilizing the resources and experience of Adoption Resources of Wisconsin. Adoption Resources of Wisconsin (ARW) has been providing information services to families thinking about foster care and adoption, referral information, adoptive family recruitment services for children in foster care who need a permanent home, extensive training and support to families. ARW received a federal grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to develop a curriculum specifically targeted to adoptive and foster families. A longitudinal study of the utilization of the curriculum co-developed by Loving Couples Loving Children has shown strong indicators of outcomes. As part of the study, each family has had an identified child who has also been monitored over the five year grant period.
