About this listen

Just as Masters and Johnson were pioneers in the study of human sexuality, so Dr. John Gottman has revolutionized the study of marriage. As a professor of psychology at the University of Washington and the founder and director of the Seattle Marital and Family Institute, he has studied the habits of married couples in unprecedented detail over the course of many years. His findings, and his heavily attended workshops, have already turned around thousands of faltering marriages.

This book is the culmination of his life's work: the seven principles that guide couples on the path toward a harmonious and long-lasting relationship. Straightforward in their approach, yet profound in their effect, these principles teach partners new and startling strategies for making their marriage work. Gottman helps couples focus on each other, on paying attention to the small day-to-day moments that, strung together, make up the heart and soul of any relationship. Being thoughtful about ordinary matters provides spouses with a solid foundation for resolving conflict when it does occur and finding strategies for living with those issues that cannot be resolved.

The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work is the definitive guide for anyone who wants their relationship to attain its highest potential.

This book has been very helpful to me in my first and only long term relationship. I feel like I could've gone my whole life without learning some of these lessons, and my life would've been poorer for not knowing them. While this title does have many lists, if you checkout the PDF that comes with the copy, those lists are contained therein.

This book had so many "oh my god, that's us!" examples. Very simple, straightforward advice. We are not parents so every now and then there was a question I'd skip, but the message was great and I'm excited to revisit some chapters and work through exercises.

I was so negative!

If so, take a shot on this beautiful book to heal and move ahead. There’s just one catch: you and your partner will benefit only if you read it and participate in the exercises together, in my opinion.

Is Your Marriage a Roach Motel?
