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.

Including questionnaires, exercises, and quizzes in a supplemental PDF, The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work is the definitive guide for anyone who wants their relationship to attain its highest potential.

      Sixteen years of systematically watching couples interact and following their progress in life reveal what it takes to make a marriage work. This is riveting, accessible stuff, and even when the book's lists and questionnaires challenge attention spans, narrator John Allen Nelson's vocal urgency keeps listeners receptive to its many useful ideas. It helps when couples have similar personalities, lifestyles, and values. But if they don't, they can still connect in a fulfilling way by exploring the deeper meanings behind preferences and accepting things that aren't likely to change. Other strategies include finding shared meaning and focusing on conflicts that can be resolved by staying in the conversations, celebrating the positives often, and avoiding destructive communication habits. This is 10 fast-moving hours that can start a lifetime of satisfying togetherness. T.W. (c) AudioFile 2011, Portland, Maine
