The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work
A Practical Guide from the Country's Foremost Relationship Expert
Book • 2015
This book, written by John Gottman and Nan Silver, is based on Gottman's extensive research on couples and their relationships.
It outlines seven principles that couples can follow to nurture their friendship, resolve conflicts effectively, and create a shared sense of meaning.
The principles include enhancing 'love maps,' nurturing fondness and admiration, turning toward each other, letting each other influence, solving solvable problems, overcoming gridlock, and creating shared meaning.
The book also warns against the 'Four Horsemen' of criticism, defensiveness, contempt, and stonewalling, which can predict the demise of a marriage.
Packed with exercises, questionnaires, and real-life examples, this guide helps couples improve their communication, intimacy, and overall relationship quality.
