I recently had the pleasure of diving into ‘The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work’, a veritable treasure trove for any couple seeking to foster a harmonious and enduring bond. With over a million copies sold, it’s no wonder this book has become a bestseller!
Author John Gottman, a renowned relationship expert, shares his unprecedented insights gleaned from years of studying couples. He offers seven principles that serve as a roadmap for couples striving to repair, strengthen, or simply maintain their marriages.
These principles are not just abstract ideas, but rather practical tools that can be applied immediately to resolve conflicts, create new common ground, and deepen intimacy. From learning to validate each other’s feelings to mastering the art of apology, these strategies are both straightforward and profound.
One aspect I found particularly valuable was Gottman’s emphasis on collaboration in resolving issues. Whether it’s dealing with matters related to sex, money, religion, work, family, or any other topic that might arise, this book equips couples with the necessary skills to tackle problems together.
The revised edition of this book includes new exercises and research from the esteemed Gottman Institute. It truly is the definitive guide for anyone who wishes to elevate their relationship to its highest potential.
